Sex Therapy
Reclaim your aliveness.
Sexuality isn't just about what happens in the bedroom. It's connected to your creativity, your vitality, your sense of being fully awake in your life. If something feels disconnected or stuck, you don't have to figure it out alone.
What Is Sex Therapy, Exactly?
Let's clear something up right away: sex therapy is simply a specialized form of talk therapy. That's it. There is no physical contact, nudity, or sexual activity of any kind during sessions. We sit, we talk, we explore. Just like any other therapy, but with a focus on issues of sexuality, intimacy, and desire.
What makes it different is that I've received advanced, specialized training to help you navigate these topics with skill and ease. While many therapists may feel uncomfortable discussing sex or lack the expertise to truly help, that's not me. We can go there without awkwardness or judgment.
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I've completed rigorous training and supervision through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, the gold standard for sex therapy credentials in the United States.
Who Is Sex Therapy For?
Honestly? All kinds of people. Individuals navigating their own sexuality. Couples seeking deeper intimacy. Partners working through mismatched desire. People healing from sexual trauma or shame.
I work with clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. Whether you're in a traditional marriage, a polyamorous relationship, exploring your identity, or happily single and working on your relationship with yourself — you belong here.
Sex therapy might be right for you if you're experiencing:
Low or absent sexual desire
Discrepancies in desire between you and your partner(s)
Difficulty with arousal or orgasm
Sexual pain (dyspareunia, vaginismus, or other conditions)
Erectile concerns or other sexual functioning issues
Shame or anxiety around sex and your body
Healing from past sexual trauma
Questions about sexual orientation or gender identity
Challenges with sexual communication
Recovery after infidelity
Interest in exploring kink or alternative relationship structures
Impacts of perimenopause, menopause, or medical conditions on sexuality
If you don't see your specific concern listed, reach out anyway. Sexuality is deeply personal and endlessly varied - and chances are, we can work on it together.
The Process
-
All sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video — which means you can work with a certified sex therapist from anywhere in Minnesota. No commute, no waiting rooms, just you in a private, comfortable space of your choosing.
For many clients, the privacy of telehealth actually makes it easier to open up about vulnerable topics. There's something about being in your own environment that can help the words flow more freely.
We'll typically meet weekly or every other week, depending on your needs and goals. Some clients come for short-term, focused work on a specific issue. Others build a longer therapeutic relationship as they explore deeper patterns. There's no one-size-fits-all approach. We'll figure out together what works best for you.
-
I'm warm, direct, and real. I won't make you feel weird about anything you bring into the room; I've truly heard it all, and nothing shocks me. I believe sexuality is a vital part of being human, not something to be ashamed of or pushed aside.
At the same time, I'll be honest with you. If something isn't working, we'll name it. If there's growth to be done, we'll do it together. I'm not here to just nod along, I'm here to help you actually move.
You are not broken. Whatever brought you here, we'll approach it with curiosity, compassion, and a deep belief in your capacity for healing and growth.
-
Growth in this space doesn't always look like dramatic breakthroughs. More often, it's subtle shifts, noticing you feel less shame when a certain topic comes up, finding it easier to ask for what you want, feeling more at home in your own body. Maybe it's a conversation with your partner that would've sent you spiraling a few months ago, but now just feels... manageable. Maybe it's realizing you haven't thought about that old story you used to tell yourself in weeks.
Sometimes clients tell me they didn't even notice how much had changed until they looked back. That's often how healing work: quietly, then all at once.
