Talking with a sex therapist can help you develop clarity, insight, and tools for a more satisfying sex life.

Sexual health is a vital part of overall well-being and plays a central role in emotional intimacy, trust, and connection between partners. When sexual concerns arise—whether due to mismatched desire, pain during sex, performance anxiety, or the impact of trauma—they can affect not only the physical relationship but also communication, self-esteem, and emotional closeness.

Angela provides a safe, nonjudgmental space for couples to explore these challenges together. Through open dialogue, evidence-based interventions, and a collaborative approach, sex therapy can help partners rebuild connection, enhance pleasure, and foster deeper intimacy—both emotionally and physically.

Sexual Health

helping you with...

Pain with intercourse

Pain during intimacy can have many contributing factors, including endometriosis, vaginismus, vulvodynia, pelvic floor dysfunction, childbirth, gastrointestinal conditions, hormonal changes affecting lubrication, allergies or sensitivities, trauma, and relationship distress. Sex therapy provides a supportive space to better understand your body, sexuality, and the complex factors contributing to pain, while also addressing the emotional and relational impact that painful sex can have on you and your relationship.

Sexual Identity, Orientation & Relationships

Your sexuality, identity, and relationships are unique to you. Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+, are exploring your sexual orientation or gender identity, are in a consensually non-monogamous relationship, or simply want to better understand yourself, sex therapy provides a compassionate, confidential space for exploration, healing, and growth. Together, we help you cultivate relationships that feel authentic, connected, and emotionally secure.

Relational and Sexual Trauma

Trauma can profoundly shape the way we experience relationships, intimacy, trust, and our connection with ourselves. Whether your experiences stem from childhood, sexual violence, betrayal, coercion, or relational wounds, the effects can linger long after the events themselves. Sex therapy provides a safe, compassionate space to make sense of these experiences, reduce shame, restore a sense of safety, and reclaim a relationship with yourself and others that feels connected, authentic, and empowering.

loss of libido

Lack of arousal or sexual desire, not feeling pleasure, inorgasmia, not feeling turned on by your partner, stress, trauma that prevents you from deepening sexual intimacy, dread of sex, are only some reasons why people experience a loss of libido. Sex therapy provides you space to understand your-self. With knowledge and therapeutic support you can have a satisfying sex life.

menopause and aging

As we move through the life span with or without a partner our sexuality will change. Often people find themselves caught in a rigid pattern of seeing sex through one lens and overlook all the ways we are sexual. Sex therapy helps you, individually, or with your partner to broaden your experience of aging and healthy sexual wellness.

you want a better sex life

Healthy sexuality does not miraculously appear. Western culture does not promote healthy sexual exploration and we have many years of false information and myths to deconstruct in sex therapy. But imagine if your fantasies were not problematic, that you knew your sexual blueprint and could talk to your partner, or if you didn't have to sneak around about your turn-on's for fear of hurting others. Neat, huh?
