Sex Therapy in New York
As a sex therapist I meet with couples who feel out of step, sexually, emotionally, or both. I blend sex therapy with emotional repair, erotic curiosity with body wisdom and a sex positive stance. The process is safe, experiential, trauma informed and deeply human.
I welcome your relationship’s deeper truths, whether that means healing old wounds, uncovering turn-ons, exploring uncharted territory, or simply learning to listen to each other with more openness and courage.
Some come in because sex has become a source of tension: too much, not enough, too pressured, too distant. Maybe one of you wants more. Maybe neither of you knows how to begin again. Maybe you want to want, but something’s in the way.
For some, this is about healing. For others, it’s about exploration, expansion, and reclaiming pleasure. For most, it’s both.
You don’t need to have the right language for what needs to change. We begin with what’s here. This unfolds at the pace of trust.
Sometimes the process begins with just one of you. When things are complex or charged, starting individually can create the space needed to feel, speak, and come back to the relationship with more clarity.
This might be for you if:
- You feel close emotionally, but distant sexually
- Or close sexually, but miss emotional depth
- Desire feels lopsided, or missing entirely
- You’ve never quite found what turns you on, or you’ve forgotten
- There is a part of you that wants closeness, but you don’t know how to trust it
- Old hurts and betrayals still echo in the bedroom, even if you wish they didn’t
- Sex feels more like performance than presence
- You want more play, more permission, more honest want
- You feel there may be more possibilities
This therapy might include:
- Guided awareness of what’s happening in your body when you’re with your partner
- Practices that support nervous system regulation
- Mapping out pleasure, boundaries, and longing
- Exploring new ways to approach sex, touch, and connection with your partner
All of these practices are not just techniques, but ways of opening to something larger. Eroticism invites us not just to feel better, but to feel more: aliveness, play, longing, even grief. These experiences are not obstacles to healing; they are the healing, not problems to solve but messages to be followed. As you gently meet what is alive in yourself and with each other, intimacy emerges, often messy and awkward, yet real.
