Not really feeling into sex lately? Maybe it's been painful, or penetrations has become tricky? Or you're finding it hard to orgasm? Sometimes your penis just isn't cooperating, like not staying hard or ejaculating when you want to? Maybe you're feeling uneasy about how much porn you're watching?
You're not alone. These kinds of experiences are more common than you might think. Especially, during times when we're feeling off or disconnected from ourselves. It can mess with how we relate to sex and spark all kinds of negative thoughts and self-doubt. Shame can sneak in too, making us overly self-critical or even avoid sex altogether in an effort to fit some unrealistic standard.
As a certified sex therapist, I'm happy to help you talk through all of this. Together we can unpack these issues and start normalising these conversations about sex and pleasure.
Relationships can be amazing but they can also be really hard work. Maybe you and your partner have mismatched desires or your sex life just isn’t what it used to be. Maybe the spark has dimmed, intimacy feels out of reach, or emotional distance has crept in. You might be dealing with ongoing conflicts, feeling unsure about attraction, or struggling to adjust to big life changes.
And if trust has been shaken, like after infidelity figuring out how to rebuild can feel overwhelming. Throw in work stress, parenting, or mental health struggles, and it’s easy to feel like you're barely keeping it all together.
If your relationship feels stuck or like you're just going through the motions, sex and relationship therapy can really help. It’s a space where you can talk openly, without judgment, about what’s not working, what hurts, sexual challenges, emotional disconnect, and what you miss.
In sex and relationship therapy, my goal is to give you practical tools, knowledge, skills, resources and support to help you feel more confident and comfortable in your sex and/or relational life. We'll cover everything from understanding your anatomy to how arousal and desire actually work. The kind of stuff most of us never got taught properly.
We can dive into ways to build intimacy, reconnect with your body, and work through things like performance anxiety if that's something you're dealing with.
We'll also talk about using helpful tools like lube, sex toys, or whatever else supports your pleasure and comfort (yes, they're totally okay!).
Whatever you're working through or wondering about, it all starts with a relaxed, no-pressure 15-minute consultation.
