Sex
Therapy
Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy focused on improving an individual or couple’s sexual concerns to achieve the sex life and intimacy they desire.
In a safe, confidential and supportive environment with a therapist, you will explore how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, life circumstances, relationships and sexual socialization are influencing your sexual difficulties to gain insight into how to enact the meaningful change you are hoping for.
Sex therapy also assists in the exploration of the psychological and emotional needs that influence your sexual desires to gain a better understanding of what sexual fulfillment means to you.
Some common concerns focused on in Sex Therapy are:
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
EARLY OR DELAYED EJACULATION
ORGASM DIFFICULTY
PAIN DURING SEX
LOW SEXUAL DESIRE
DESIRE DISCREPANCY
NO/LOW SEXUAL PLEASURE
SEXUAL AVERSION, FEARS AND/OR AVOIDANCE
SEXUAL TRAUMA
OUT-OF-CONTROL SEXUAL BEHAVIOURS
DISCOMFORT WITH SEXUAL PREFERENCES AND ATTRACTIONS

MY PRACTICE
I adopt a human-centered and inclusive approach, offering a non-judgmental and affirming space for individuals and couples of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures.
It’s completely normal to feel some discomfort when talking about sexual concerns, which is why I believe my warmth and light-hearted sense of humour creates a safe and comfortable space to address this important aspect of your life.
As an integrative therapist, I draw from evidence-based practices while maintaining a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens, customizing each session to address the unique needs of the individual(s).
Some of the specific methods I draw from for Sex Psychotherapy are:
SEX EDUCATION
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY
SOLUTION FOCUSED THERAPY
EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY
ATTACHMENT THEORY
COMPASSION-FOCUSED THERAPY
MINDFULNESS STRATEGIES
RELAXATION AND GROUNDING EXERCISES
SOMATIC APPROACHES
I provide sex therapy to individuals and couples ages 18+.
