Has past trauma stolen your desire or left you struggling to perform?
Did infidelity fracture the trust that once held you together?
Has intimacy gone silent in your relationship?
Are you living in a sexless marriage or stuck in the tension of mismatched desire?
Do you feel lost or disconnected from your partner?
When intimacy feels out of reach, therapy helps you rediscover desire and connection.
Here’s why and how to fix it.
Sex is not just a physical act—it’s a core human need—fundamental to human connection, desire, and vitality. Yet for many, the bedroom becomes a place of frustration, distance, and silence.
Paradoxically, the very closeness we crave can dampen desire. Our brains are wired for safety, but passion feeds on novelty and risk; they are often inversely related. The deeper the bond, the more elusive the spark.
Add to that the weight of daily life—parenting, aging, grief, health, word stress, and unresolved trauma.
No wonder passion can feel like a distant memory.
Sex and happiness are deeply connected, but not in the way you might think. Research tells us that couples who have sex regularly are happier—but more sex doesn’t always equal more happiness. The sweet spot? In one large study, it was once per week; beyond that, satisfaction levels didn’t rise. Ultimately, it’s for the couple to decide.
While this may not be the topic of conversation in the virtual breakroom, you do not have to suffer in silence! The good news is there is a space for these conversations.
Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to identify the “sexual pie”—a complex mix of physical, physiological, emotional, spiritual, and relational pieces. From there, we create a treatment plan tailored to you. While sex therapy employs many of the same principles as other modalities, there are specific science-backed techniques available for various sexual problems.
Sessions may involve one or both partners. There is an explicit exploration of the sexual and relational life, but no physical contact or surrogates in the treatment room.
Healthy sexual functioning at each point is like a perfect storm: these fragile elements must be in sync for satisfaction.
Sexuality is complex, and so too is healing.
Sex is a vital component of connection for men—often their primary ‘love language.’ Yet, it is silence and shame that keep many from seeking help. These obstacles stand in the way of becoming engaged, satisfying, and confident partners in and out of the bedroom.
Sex therapy can help; it can enhance self-esteem, alleviate anxiety and depression, and help men build the intimacy and connection they desire.
Common Issues Addressed in Sex Therapy for Men:
Sexual dysfunctions often have psychological roots, but medical factors such as endocrine, neurological, cardiac, medication side effects, and overall lifestyle concerns play a role. A comprehensive evaluation helps pinpoint the cause and create an effective treatment plan to help revive your sexual functioning and help you regain a satisfying sexual relationship.
The inability to attain or maintain an erection sufficient to achieve and sustain penetration will happen at least once in the life of a man. For some, it’s occasional frustration; for others, it becomes a pattern—persistent, disruptive, and deeply discouraging.
Performance anxiety shows up, which only aggravates the psyche and, ultimately, the troubling dysfunction. Sex becomes a place of fear, not of presence. Treatment isn’t about “fixing” erections but about uncovering the root cause and helping men return to an experience of sex that feels embodied, confident, and alive.
PIED is rapidly on the rise, especially among younger men. The limitless availability of online pornography—accessible, anonymous, endlessly customizable—rewires the brain. These men have the potential to become conditioned before they have a real sexual encounter, finding that their arousal is tethered more to pixels on a screen than to intimacy.
Breaking free requires more than willpower; it means recalibrating desire itself and re-learning to connect arousal with real presence and touch.
Premature ejaculation—orgasm within two minutes of penetration—affects nearly one in four men.
For some, it has been present since the beginning of their sexual life (primary PE). For others, it comes later (secondary PE). In both cases, it is rarely just “physical”. Emotional, spiritual, physiological, physical, and relational factors intertwine. With effective strategies and therapy, men can regain control, confidence, and connection.
The opposite challenge: difficulty or inability to orgasm during intercourse despite desire. Affecting approximately 8% of men, delayed ejaculation can leave couples feeling disconnected, frustrated, and isolated.
Often, orgasm is achievable with masturbation. Lifestyle factors, masturbation habits, and emotional withholding frequently play a role. Left untreated, DE can lower desire, create avoidance, and erode intimacy—but with therapy, most men see meaningful improvement.
Low desire is not exclusive to women. In fact, a surprising number of men report diminished interest in sex and fantasy, particularly later in life. While only 2% of younger men experience this, the number rises above 40% in men aged 66-74.
Desire is complicated. And like other sexual concerns, it too is shaped by the elements of the sexual pie. And when desire disappears, it’s rarely just about the sex; it’s about vitality, self-esteem, and the hidden fears and narratives that quietly drain intimacy from within.
While sex for men often begins in the bedroom, women’s desire for sex is more relational—shaped by the context and connection, and layers of daily life—health, hormones, body image, sexual and trauma history, medication effects, relational dynamics, cultural, familial and spiritual beliefs and, more often than not, the stress of children, work, and home.
No wonder desire can feel elusive. According to a 2015 survey of more than 30k women, 43% reported a sexual concern, with midlife being the peak of distress.
Together, we can help restore your sexual desire, agency, and confidence.
Desire disorders—often labeled as female sexual interest/arousal disorder in DSM-5 are the most common women and couples bring to therapy today. Lack of desire may follow childbirth, trauma, infidelity, or health changes, but it is rarely just about the sex.
With aging and longevity and women staying sexually active into later years, hormonal and psychological factors often collide. Sometimes the willingness to participate in intimacy represents a radical shift in the relationship.
Approximately 4.7% of women report difficulty or inability to orgasm, with rates even higher in post-menopausal women. Primary anorgasmia, never having experienced an orgasm, is more often linked to psychological and sociocultural influences. Secondary anorgasmia, the loss of prior ability or orgasm intermittently and under certain circumstances, are typically linked to psychological or physiological factors.
An infrequent complaint, persistent genital arousal (persistent sexual arousal), exists when an intrusive, unwanted sensation of arousal occurs in the absence of sexual context. Unlike hypersexuality, it is often rooted in a mix of psychogenic (emotional, spiritual, cultural) and biogenic (physical and physiological) causes.
Effective treatment might combine therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and medical evaluation to restore confidence and pleasure.
Sexual pain can take many forms—pain during intercourse, involuntary spasms that are an obstacle to penetration, or chronic discomfort around the vaginal opening. Whatever the cause, the experience is real, often relentless, and can leave women feeling isolated, disconnected from their partners, and diminished in their own sexuality.
Left untreated, pain quietly erodes self-esteem and intimacy over time. But it does not have to define you or your relationship with your body or your partner. Healing typically requires an integrated approach—talk therapy with specialized pelvic floor work and medical collaboration to bring relief, intimacy, and renewed confidence.
One’s sexual or gender identity may feel aligned and congruent on the inside—yet stigma from the outside world can make it burdensome. Those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, or non-conforming (LGBTQ+) often face discrimination that heightens the risk for anxiety, depression, despair, and even suicide attempts. And yet, their daily struggles—like love, belonging, intimacy, and purpose—are as universal as anyone else’s.
Isolation and silence often feel safer than vulnerability, but they come at a cost: disconnection. With honesty and authenticity comes the possibility of genuine connection.
I provide affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, helping you navigate both identity-specific struggles and everyday relational challenges. My work has included supporting cross-dressers, transgender and transsexual individuals and couples, and those in transition at various stages. Whatever your journey, therapy offers a space to be seen, to heal, and to live more fully in your truth.
One in six women will be sexually abused, with one in four before age 18. Men are not exempt: one in six are sexually assaulted before adulthood, and the LGBTQ+ community is impacted at equal or higher rates.
Boundary violations fracture the most intimate foundation we have: our relationship with our own body. The aftermath can include anxiety, depression, dissociation, psychosomatic symptoms, addiction, or difficulty forming and sustaining safe connections. And while the effects are immediate, they can also silently repeat—through shame, grief, anger, and destructive patterns that persist until healing takes root.
Whether it’s childhood sexual abuse, non-consensual contact in adulthood, or ongoing violation, sexual trauma can distort intimacy and create a painful disconnection from yourself and others. Therapy often becomes the first safe place of disclosure—the moment the silence is broken.
I bring a unique integration of approaches: psychodynamic and psychoanalytic depth work, cognitive-behavioral strategies, with evidence-based trauma modalities. As a certified EMDR therapist, I help clients process the past, release what has been carried for too long, and begin to reclaim safety, intimacy, and agency in their lives.
The American Board of Sexology defines five essentials every sex therapist should meet:
I work at the intersection of sex and relationships—because the two are not mutually exclusive. Understanding the integration of psychology, sexology, trauma therapy, and relationship science is essential to this work.
I’ve helped hundreds of individuals and couples navigate their most intimate challenges, restoring the erotic connection where it has been lost.
I take a direct, compassionate, and solution-oriented approach. What sets me apart is my unique integration of experience and expertise. I am the only Sexologist (Fellow) who is also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), certified in EMDR, Discernment Counseling, Group Therapy, Telehealth, and Hypnosis, and trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Taking the step for sexual healing is rarely easy. Most people wait years—even decades—before seeking help. Shame, isolation, fear, or rejection, or the hope that “it will just get better,” often delay change. But intimacy doesn’t repair itself in silence.
What if this moment could be different?
What if you could choose to begin now?
