Intimacy & Sex
Sex can become a place where anxiety, shame, performance, desire, attachment, and vulnerability all collide. You might find yourself getting in your head during sex, losing desire once a relationship becomes secure, wanting something you're afraid to ask for, or feeling disconnected from your body or your partner even when you want closeness.
I focus on intimacy and sex challenges, helping you better understand your experiences around connection, desire, and vulnerability so you can move toward more fulfilling and authentic relationships both with yourself and with others.
What intimacy and sex challenges might look like
Feeling disconnected from your partner(s) during sex or intimacy
Difficulty expressing needs, desires, or boundaries
Anxiety, avoidance, or shutdown around physical closeness
Wanting intimacy but struggling to sustain it or rediscover it
Questioning desire, attraction, or compatibility
Feeling pressure to perform and “get it right”
How we work with this in therapy?
In our work, we slow down and explore your relationship to intimacy, not only what’s happening externally, but what you’re experiencing internally and in your body.
We explore:
How you respond to closeness and vulnerability
Patterns of anxiety, avoidance, or disconnection
Your relationship to desire, boundaries, and communication
How past experiences of closeness and sex shape present intimacy
