Why Sex Therapy?
We live in a society that constantly sends us conflicting messages about sex.

What does Sex Therapy entail?
Sex therapy is just regular ol' talk-therapy, but I often will give you homework assignments for you to complete in between sessions.

If you are in a relationship and are seeking sex therapy, I strongly encourage partners to come in together, even if you feel that it is just one person's issue. If you are not in a relationship but would like help with a sexual issue, sex therapy is for you, too!
