Boulder’s Expert Sex Therapy Services

Sex therapy integrates the tools of couples counseling with a focus on emotional and physical intimacy. It provides a supportive, trauma-informed space for individuals and couples to explore challenges related to desire, connection, communication, and pleasure. In my practice, sex therapy is not about performance or technique — it’s about healing shame, deepening understanding, and restoring trust in your body and your relationship.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, shut down, overwhelmed, or disconnected, sex therapy offers a safe and nonjudgmental container to reconnect with yourself and your partner. 

Sex therapy can help with:

• Desire differences or feeling out of sync sexually

• Communication blocks around intimacy or needs

• Shame around sexuality or emotional expression

• Life transitions (e.g., postpartum, menopause, new relationships)

• Emotional distance during sex

• Healing after betrayal or broken trust

• Unprocessed relational or somatic trauma

• Navigating open relationships or polyamory

• Disconnection due to stress, anxiety, or identity suppression

• Reclaiming connection after painful or confusing sexual experiences 

Many couples find it difficult to talk openly about sex. Shame, fear of rejection, and long-standing emotional wounds often hinder progress. I help you identify patterns that interfere with closeness, practice new ways to express needs and boundaries, and create space for emotionally safe, embodied intimacy.

Through our work, you’ll begin to explore what nourishes you sexually and relationally, not based on cultural scripts, but rooted in your lived experience. Most couples are surprised by how profoundly sex therapy can transform their connection, even outside the bedroom.

Our first session focuses on understanding your story — what’s felt painful, what’s missing, and what you long for. I’ll get to know you both (or just you, if you’re coming individually), explore your relationship dynamics, and assess how attachment, nervous system regulation, and internalized messages around sex are showing up in your intimate life.

From there, sessions may include:

• Psychoeducation about desire, arousal, and connection

• Communication and conflict repair tools

• Exploration of trauma-informed somatic work

• Mindful practices to reconnect to your body and pleasure

• Support for unpacking shame and building emotional safety

I bring a depth-oriented, relational, and embodied lens to sex therapy. Drawing from attachment theory, nervous system science, and depth psychology, I work at the intersection of mind, body, and relationship. My goal is to help you feel seen, safe, and whole — both in your connection to yourself and with your partner(s).

I affirm and welcome all relationship structures, identities, and orientations
