I specialize in working with sexual desire discrepancy and intimacy. Sexual desire discrepancy is when one person in a relationship wants sex more or differently than their partner(s). It is very common and occurs in otherwise happy and healthy relationships. Although common, desire discrepancy can lead to severe relational discord. Through a combination of psychosexual education, deep couple's work, and a compilation of the leading sexual desire discrepancy theories, I have designed a way of addressing desire discrepancy that offers you and your partner(s) a new way to be sexual together. It is not easy work, but it is rewarding.
In addition to specializing in sexual desire discrepancy and intimacy, I have extensive training and experience working with sexual issues, including various sexual dysfunctions and issues related to BDSM, kink, and consensual non-monogamy. Due to my education and training in sexology and couples counseling, I offer a unique perspective on complex issues.
Issues relating to one's sexuality, sexual identity, and desires deserve attention and care. I invite you and your partner(s) to work with me synergistically to co-create a space wrought with support, encouragement, personal responsibility and compassion. My expertise combined with your hard work, humility and commitment to self-reflect will show results.
