sex therapy for individuals & couples in WEBSTER, NY
As a Sex Therapist, it is my goal to show compassion and a non-judgmental approach as I help you explore your desires, address challenges, and navigate concerns.
Whether they are related to desire differences between you and your partner, sexual dysfunction, communication barriers, seeking a positive sexual relationship, processing a sexual trauma, or managing out of control sexual behavior, I will help you to understand yourself, find solutions, and become the best version of your sexual self.
How I Can Help
the concern
You have found yourself having difficulty maintaining an erection. This has left you feeling confused, angry, embarrassed, and anxious.
how i can help
Difficulty maintaining an erection can be the result of many things; medications, emotional distress, daily stressors, or the aging process. I can help you sort through the possible causes, process all the emotions, and assist you in finding a solution. Sensate focus, directed masturbation, psycho-education and medications are just a few of the possible solutions.
the concern
Night sweats, insomnia, irritability, and painful intercourse are just a few samples of the affects you may be feeling from the wonderful world of peri-menopause or post-menopause.
This is putting an emotional and physical distress on your relationship. You have spoken to your doctor about the symptoms and although he/she may be trying to help, it just is not enough. After all, they cannot help with the emotional ups and downs you are going through.
how i can help
I am here to listen and help you sort through the multitude of emotional feelings your are experiencing. I can offer insight into how you may still maintain an active sex life or manage your decrease in libido with your partner. I can also work with your doctor in finding the best treatment options for you. Treating menopausal symptoms is not a quick fix nor is it a “one stop shop” for every woman. What works for one may not work for another.
the concern
You find yourself having thoughts/desires or an attraction to something that catches you off guard. You may be asking yourself if this is “normal” or “am I the only one”?
how i can help
There are many different sexual thoughts, urges, or fantasies in this world. Asking yourself if you are “normal” is a very common concern. In my therapy approach, I try to stay away from the word “normal”, as we are all unique individuals. However, I can talk with you about your feelings around it, what it may mean and how it is affecting your daily life.
the concern
“We don’t have sex like we used to.”
Has your physical intimacy and sexual relations with your partner changed? Maybe it seems routine, one has more desire than the other. You might find yourself feeling resentful, anxious, or trying to avoid the topic of sex altogether with your partner.
how i can help
Using the basis of the Bio-Psychological model, I will work with you as a couple or individually if your partner is unwilling to attend or you feel it is best to focus on just you for the time being. I will focus on what is important to each of you emotionally and sexually. I will assist you both in communicating your needs and desires both inside and outside the bedroom. I will help you both become familiar with what your “31 flavors” are and how to bring them to life. With the skill of a therapist, it may surprise you what you and your partner can discover.
