Sex Therapy

Sex holds immense power in fostering intimacy and deep connection with your partner, satisfying the need for touch, care, and love. When your sexual connection faces challenges, it can lead to awkward and frustrating moments. Learning how to have open and trusting conversations with your lover can help you actively rebuild your sexual desire and connection.

​

Common issues include:

• LGBTQIA+ identity

• 'coming out' to friends and family

• sexual health, pleasure and well-being

• discrepancy in libido or desired sexual activities

• asexuality and graysexuality

Alternative Lifestyles

If you're exploring various forms of ethical non-monogamy, kink, sex work, or other alternative lifestyles, I can support you in creating healthy connections with yourself and partner(s). This exploration focuses on navigating issues around collaboration,  trust, consent, communication, conflict resolution, creativity, and sexual health. 

​

Common issues include:

• complications of adding partners into existing relationship(s)

• ethical non-monogamy, i.e. polyamory, swinging, relationship anarchy

Religious or Spiritual Abuse

Embracing spirituality, whether within the confines of a traditional religion or through a more personalized set of beliefs, often becomes an integral part of one's identity. As we grow and develop, some individuals delve deeper into the faith handed down by their family, while others choose to step away and reassess whether those beliefs align with their evolving worldview.  

​

Common issues include:

• indoctrination of rigid beliefs 

• use of intimidation or control over one's autonomy

• identity confusion 

• difficulty making decisions outside of religious beliefs

• potential rupture of family and friends if leaving religion

• symptoms of guilt, depression, anxiety, panic attacks or dissociation

• fear of embracing another spiritual path, atheism or agnosticism
