Many couples struggle with sex, largely due to the stigma around it in our society, and how remedial sex education can be. This lack of education and discourse can lead to a lot of nasty dynamics - expectations around sex that aren't realistic, beliefs about ourselves or our bodies that create anxiety and shame, among numerous other issues. We can also have a tough time if our partner is different from us sexually, and we don't know how to talk about it or how to come together.

​

Whatever the difficulty is, couples might go to Sex Therapy so that they can have a knowledgeable clinician who is comfortable talking about sex. By addressing these differences and issues in this space, we can create more openness, understanding, intimacy, and ways for you to work on your sexual relationship so that it's more satisfying and exciting. This process will also create more comfort in talking about sex, so that you can communicate about these things outside of sessions. 

​

Individuals can also greatly benefit from Sex Therapy. I often works with men around erectile dysfunction and performance anxiety, which can take a significant negative toll on their self-esteem. It can also be a space where you can explore more about what you like - often we might feel too uncomfortable to talk about that with our partner, and if that's the case, exploring that more individually can be a great first step. 

​

Whether you're an individual or a couple, focusing on and working through sexual issues can be extremely intimidating, but made easier by having such a nonjudgmental space. Hopefully through that work you can create the sex life that you deserve!
