Certified Sex Therapist: Empowering You to Embrace Authentic Intimacy
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I'm passionate about helping you discover greater awareness, self-empowerment, and understanding in your intimate relationships. My goal is to guide you in cultivating consensual, safe, and pleasurable experiences in your sex life and communication.
Together, we'll explore:
Your unique definitions of love and sex: Uncovering what these mean to you and your partner(s).
Effective communication: Learning how to express your needs and desires with confidence and clarity.
Self-worth and validation: Discovering what these mean to you and how to foster them in your relationships.
I approach therapy from a place of sexual empowerment and sex-positivity, helping you understand your own sexual and intimate needs and boundaries. My focus is on empowering you and your partner(s) to:
Find deeper meaning in your relationship
Set achievable goals
Gain clarity on your shared purpose and direction
If you're ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and connection, I'm here to support you. Please don't hesitate to reach out and let's discuss how I can help you achieve your goals.
