Who Can Benefit from Sex Therapy?

Couples: If you're struggling with intimacy, communication, or feeling disconnected, sex therapy can help you rebuild trust, rekindle passion, and strengthen your bond. From desire to affairs to biology to trauma, I am here to support you in exploring sexuality with your partner.
