BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL

You’re tired of having the same arguments over and over again. Feeling that complacency has crept into the relationship and confused about how your relationship got to this point...

You might seem like better roommates than lovers. Communication is fraught with difficulties and conflict is more common than reassurance and support. This is not the relationship of your dreams nor the one that you deserve. You desperately want more for yourself and your relationship. All you are sure about is that you are not willing to live like this for the next 40 years.

Healthy relationships improve all aspects of your life and strengthens your health, your wellbeing, your connections with others, your capacity to engage in authentic and heartfelt living, and your resilience.

Strong, healthy relationships do not just happen by chance - they require skills and strategies that can be learnt and need to be discussed.

Counselling is about exploring what it is that keeps you stuck and exploring those areas so that you can learn to move past them and consistently reassess those areas in order to grow. Do you want to write a new chapter? Set goals and achieve them? Create your ideal life and stride towards it confidently? If so, we work together with the help of tools, worksheets and conversations to create strategies to do exactly that.

How often do you meet with clients?

My job is to work myself out of a job! I love, love, LOVE the work I am privileged to do however, I also want clients to experience corrective change, which would limit the frequency of therapy. I meet with clients weekly at the beginning. Together, we discuss treatment along the way and we eventually will transition to biweekly, then to once a month! Previous clients are always welcome for “tune ups” as needed! It’s important that we keep the strategies fresh and relevant to their situation.

What is sex therapy?

Sex Therapy is an intensive psychotherapy specialization with a focus on sexual health, sexuality, sexual issues and concerns. In an ideal world, sex would not be veiled in secrecy, it would be taught comprehensively with evidence based research and wouldn't be an ambivalent part of identity and relational dynamics. Whole health, also includes an emphasis on sexual health and sexual health is equally as important to emotional, psychological, financial and physical health. We know through research that relational and sexual satisfaction are reciprocally interconnected.

Together we will unlearn and dismantle all the "should's" you hold around myths and beliefs of what is "normal." Discovering your sexual health that allows clients to experience desire and arousal, clearly communicate sexual needs, interest and boundaries. While enhancing your sexual understanding, emotional intimacy and confidence towards pleasurable, consensual, safe and emotionally connected sex life.

I am a sex-positive therapist and believe that every individual has the right to consensual, safe, pleasurable sex. I don't subscribe to the idea that sex should be a chore/obligation, monotonous, passionless experience. Or the only way you feel connected to your partner. That's unhealthy, let's disrupt this pattern!

As a Forensic Sex Therapist I work in collaboration with medical providers (urologist, pelvic floor specialist, gynecologist) across specialities in effort to achieve successful outcomes for clients presenting with various symptoms connected with sexual dysfunctions and concerns. As with any other diagnosis found in the DSM, medication management should be paired with psychotherapy. Through a combination of identifying, educating, treatment planning and processing, sex therapy helps individuals and couples reach more enjoyable, pleasurable and emotional intimacy.

Sex Therapy is incredibly similar to other forms of psychotherapy, yet ASSECT certified sex therapist have advanced training, knowledge and supervision on sex and sexual health.
