Sex Therapy

Many people experience sexual difficulties at some point in their lives.   Therapy for sexual problems involves talking about the problem, possible causes, and solutions.  Sexual problems may be caused by several factors.  Medical conditions or medication my affect sexuality.  Emotional factors related to previous experiences, self-esteem, anxiety, or depression may have a negative affect on ones sex life. 

Sex therapy offers education and information, ways to work through inhibitions caused by emotional problems, and techniques for improving sexual performance and satisfaction.  I also use EMDR as a way of helping people to reduce anxiety and change inhibiting behavior patterns.

 
Some areas that are often discussed include:

Improving communication and relationship skills

Building self-acceptance and self-knowledge

Overcoming negative messages from the past

Understanding and treating physical difficulties

Low desire

Difficulty achieving orgasm

I am GLBT friendly.
