Online Sex Therapy and Couples Therapy in Virginia
In Person Sex Therapy and Couples Therapy in Roanoke, Virginia
Overcome sex and relationship problems. Experience more intimacy and better sex.

People come to me for help because they feel defective, like there is something wrong with them. They feel alone. They worry that other people are enjoying sex while they are missing out.
Problems around sex have caused them to feel disconnected from their partner, or have led to a cycle of tension and conflict that they can’t break out of.
They tell me that sex seems like it should be no big deal, that it should be easy and natural, and they worry they will never have the sex life they want.
They have tried everything they can think of to solve the problem, and nothing has helped. They feel discouraged, ashamed, and defeated. They wish they could go back to a time in their life when sex was easy and fun, or they wish they could experience a level of pleasure and passion that seems elusive and impossible.
Many people experience a sense of relief at talking to someone who gets it, who has helped people with similar struggles, and who believes you deserve better.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
I can help you work through your past, gain knowledge about sex, improve communication, and build confidence.

We are all born with the potential for healthy and thriving sexual expression. It is a biological drive and an important part of being human. Embracing our sexuality can enhance our intimate connections.
In the media, sex looks natural and effortless. In real life, sexual skills, like all skills, are not in-born, but must be learned. High quality sex education is rare. Many of us become disconnected from our sexual self through negative social messages and painful life experiences. Instead of celebrating our sexuality, we withdraw and develop feelings of embarrassment, anxiety, and shame.
Therapy can offer you the safe space, supportive relationship, and quality information you need to make the changes you want. When you overcome the fear and anxiety that has held you back sexually, the experience of change and personal growth can have ripple effects into the rest of your life. You may discover increased self-confidence, greater self-acceptance, and more connection to pleasure and joy.
We are not limited to talking about sexual concerns in therapy. You are a whole person with a full life. You are encouraged to bring up anything that is impacting your well-being. I have years of experience helping people navigate difficult emotions, stress, interpersonal issues, challenging life transitions, and painful past experiences.
Whether at my beautiful office in Roanoke, Virginia, or online from the comfort and convenience of your own home, I look forward to meeting you.
