What is Sex Therapy?

What is sex therapy?

Sexuality is deeply woven into our identities and relationships, yet cultural silence and misinformation can leave us without the language or support to make sense of our experiences.

When sex is painful, intimacy can begin to organize around shame, fear, or avoidance. In sex therapy, we gently untangle these patterns, creating more room for embodiment, connection, and eroticism to flourish.

Individual & Couples Therapy

  • In individual therapy, you’ll have space to explore the emotional and relational effects of pelvic pain. At your own pace, we can:

    • Process conditions such as vaginismus, vulvodynia, endometriosis, postpartum pain, and hormonal changes.

    • Address sexual pain and its impact on pleasure, desire, and identity.

    • Navigate dating and relational milestones while managing pain.

    • Unpack medical gaslighting and build confidence in healthcare settings.

    • Integrate progress from pelvic floor physical therapy into your intimate life.

    • Rebuild body trust while dismantling shame and isolation.

    • Strengthen sexual education for a more informed, affirming relationship with your body.

  • In couples therapy, we focus on the relationship and the shared experience of pain, creating a safe setting for both partners to share vulnerably. Together we can:

    • Enhance communication around intimacy.

    • Explore each partner’s experience of pain and role in healing.

    • Honor emotional needs and coping styles.

    • Navigate desire discrepancies related to pain or life transitions.

    • Address sexual avoidance or fear in anticipation of pain.

    • Create space for vulnerable, often unspoken feelings.
