sex therapy in Vancouver

available with:

Sex is an important part of life, but it can also be one of the hardest things to talk about.

When challenges arise — whether in your desire, confidence, intimacy, or identity — it can feel isolating and overwhelming. Sex therapy gives you a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what’s going on and find healthier, more satisfying ways of connecting.

My approach is sex-positive, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll look at what’s blocking you and work toward creating meaningful, lasting change in your sexual wellbeing.

what is sex therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of counselling that addresses concerns related to sexual functioning, intimacy, and relationships. Unlike medical treatment, sex therapy focuses on the emotional, relational, and psychological aspects of sexuality.

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit — many people seek sex therapy simply to deepen connection, improve communication, or feel more confident in their sexuality.

I bring a warm, non-judgmental approach rooted in both lived experience and professional training.

Clients describe my approach as compassionate yet straightforward. I’ll hold space for your story, but I’ll also gently challenge you when something isn’t serving your growth.
