Sex and Intimacy Therapy
for Desire Discrepancies, Shame and Disconnection
Sexual connection can be confusing, painful, or distant for many reasons — and it’s rarely just about desire itself. When shame, performance pressure, attachment triggers, or past ruptures show up in your body or your relationships, they quietly shape how you connect, withdraw, or avoid intimacy. I help individuals and couples explore what’s actually happening beneath desire conflicts and disconnection so you can build connection with intention, agency, and compassion.
Who This Is For
Our services are designed for individuals and couples who are
Individuals wrestling with desire, shame, or avoidance
Partners struggling to talk about sex without panic or blame
People questioning how attachment cycles affect desire
Queer, trans, and non-binary clients navigating intimacy dynamics
People navigating infidelity, desire shifts, or relational rupture
What This Is Not
It's important to understand what our approach does not include:
This is not conversion therapy or any attempt to change your sexual orientation or gender identity
This is not a space where your identity will be questioned, pathologized, or treated as a "problem to fix"
This is not therapy that assumes heteronormative or cisnormative relationship models
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach that ignores your unique intersectional experiences
The Practice firmly believe that LGBTQia+ identities are natural, healthy expressions of human diversity. My role is to support you in living authentically, not to impose any agenda about who you should be.
What We Focus On Together
We don’t just talk about sex. We explore the patterns under:
Attachment & Desire
How early relational patterns shape how you seek or avoid closeness.
Shame & Body Experience
Where shame lives in the body — and how it shows up in intimacy
Communication About Sex
Not scripts — but real language you can actually use.
Desire Discrepancy Navigation
Creating generative connection instead of defeat or silence.
After Betrayal or Disconnection
Supporting nuanced desire work once attachment safety is rebuilt.
