Sex Therapy and Intimacy Counseling in Los Angeles

Navigating sexual health concerns, intimacy roadblocks, or relationship shifts can feel overwhelming. You deserve a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space to explore these challenges. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist  based in West Los Angeles, I help individuals and couples rebuild their sexual confidence, improve communication, and find healing.

Specialized Training to Support Your Intimacy Goals

Sex is rarely discussed openly in honest and vulnerable ways. To best serve my clients, I have completed advanced, specialized training in human sexuality and clinical interventions. I hold a Sex Therapy Practitioner Certification from the Efficient Therapist program.

This credential supplements my core clinical license (CA Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist #92675) and equips me with evidence-based tools to handle complex sexual and relational dynamics safely and effectively.

Common Issues Addressed in Sex & Couples Therapy

Sex therapy is normal psychotherapy—just with a specialized focus on intimacy and the body. Clients commonly seek my practice for help with:

  • Low Sexual Desire / Mismatched Libido: Navigate different desire levels in a relationship.

  • Intimacy After Major Life Transitions: Reconnect after childbirth, menopause, medical trauma, or shifting relationship dynamics.

  • Sexual Anxiety & Performance Pressure: Overcome stress, fear, or mental blocks surrounding sex.

  • Painful Intercourse & Pelvic Discomfort: Work collaboratively alongside medical professionals to manage physical intimacy roadblocks.

  • Erectile Dysfunction or Premature Ejaculation: Address the deep psychological and relational impacts of performance anxiety.

  • Shame & Sexual Trauma Recovery: Heal from religious guilt, societal stigma, or past negative experiences to reclaim your pleasure.

Exploring Sexual Orientation, Identity, and Relationship Dynamics

Sexuality and relationships exist on a broad spectrum. It is completely normal to question, re-evaluate, or seek to expand how you experience attraction, pleasure, and connection at any stage of life. You do not need to have a neat, definitive label for yourself to benefit from therapy.

I provide a completely confidential, affirming, and judgment-free space to explore your authentic self—whether that involves your sexual orientation, your relationship structure, or how you express intimacy.

Safe Space for Identity & Orientation Exploration

Many clients seek my practice when they are feeling unsure, confused, or curious about who they are drawn to. Whether you are wondering if you might be gay, bisexual, pansexual, queer, or are simply feeling a shift in your attractions, we can work together to navigate:

  • Understand Shifting Attractions: Explore romantic, emotional, or physical desires that may feel new or unexpected.

  • Navigate Fluidity: Process the unique nuances of bisexual, pansexual, or fluid identities, where attractions aren't strictly binary.

  • Deconstruct Conditioning: Unpack societal, cultural, or religious expectations that may have suppressed your true identity.

  • The Nuances of Coming Out: Practice self-acceptance at any age and deciding how, when, and with whom you want to share your identity.

Consensual Non-Monogamy & Polyamory Affirming Care

Monogamy is a beautiful choice, but it is not the only choice. If you are operating outside traditional relationship structures, you shouldn't have to spend your therapy hours explaining the basic vocabulary of your lifestyle to your clinician. I offer dedicated support for:

  • Exploring CNM or Open Frameworks: Navigate the transition from monogamy to an open relationship or polyamory with intention, safety, and deep communication.

  • Polyamorous Relationship Dynamics: Manage complex dynamics, time management, and emotional attunement across multiple partners.

  • Deconstructing Jealousy: Move past societal scripts to understand, process, and communicate through feelings of jealousy or insecurity safely.

Kink & BDSM Aware Therapy (Kink-Affirming)

Your private expressions of pleasure, power, and play should be met with clinical understanding, not judgment. As a kink-affirming therapist, I recognize that BDSM, fetish, leather, and kink are healthy, consensual avenues for intimacy, self-expression, and connection.

Whether you want to explore this side of yourself for the first time, process dynamics within your scene, or discuss entirely unrelated life stressors without fear that your therapist will pathologize your kinks, this is a safe space.

Affirming, Client-Led Care

You dictate the pace of your own exploration. My role as a Certified Sex Therapy Practitioner and Licensed Therapist is not to tell you who you are or how you should love, but to help you find clarity, confidence, and self-compassion as you discover it for yourself.

What to Expect from an Online Sex Therapist in California

Our sessions look exactly like traditional talk therapy. You will never be asked to do anything explicit or physical during a session. Instead, we focus on identifying the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional blocks holding you back.

I offer convenient online sex therapy across California via secure, HIPAA-compliant video. This allows you to discuss vulnerable topics from the absolute comfort and privacy of your own home.
