Sex Therapy in Austin, TX

You don’t have to keep pretending everything’s fine. Let’s talk about what’s going on.

Most people wait a long time before reaching out for help with sex or intimacy issues. Not because they don’t care, but because they’ve been told it’s too personal, too taboo, or something they should just “figure out on their own.”

If that’s you—you’re not alone. And you don’t need to carry it quietly anymore.

Sex therapy is a space where we can talk openly about the parts of life that often go unspoken. Whether you’re struggling with desire, healing from trauma, feeling distant from your partner, or just sensing that something’s not quite working the way it used to... I’m here to walk alongside you. No shame. No awkwardness. Just real conversations, grounded in compassion and curiosity.

For Couples: “We love each other… so why does this feel so hard?”

So many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in this in-between place. You care about each other, maybe even still enjoy each other, but the sexual connection has shifted, and neither of you knows how to talk about it without someone shutting down or getting hurt.

It might be a mismatch in desire. Or one of you feels pressured while the other feels rejected. Maybe you’ve gone through a life transition—like having kids, dealing with stress, or navigating infidelity—and it’s changed the way you relate physically. That’s more common than people realize.

In our sessions, we’ll take the pressure off. We’ll talk about what’s happening underneath the surface—not just about sex itself, but about closeness, safety, communication, and how you each feel in the relationship. You’re not here to be fixed—you’re here to feel more understood, more connected, and more like yourselves again.

For Individuals: When Sex Feels Complicated, Confusing, or Heavy

You don’t have to be in a relationship to explore your sex relationship. Many of the people I work with come in on their own, unsure how to make sense of what they’re feeling.

Maybe sex has always been a little stressful for you, or maybe something’s changed recently and you’re not sure how to name it. Maybe you’ve never really felt connected to your sexuality and want to understand it better. Or you're trying to unlearn messages from religion, family, or past partners that left you feeling ashamed or disconnected.

In sex therapy, you don’t need to come in with all the answers. You don’t have to explain things perfectly. We’ll move at your pace and make space for the hard stuff—with gentleness, warmth, and zero judgment.

If You’ve Experienced Trauma, Intimacy Can Feel Complex—And That Makes Sense

If you've been through sexual trauma, assault, emotional abuse, or anything that blurred the lines of safety or consent, it's completely understandable if sex feels complicated, unsafe, or even scary. Your body might freeze during intimacy. You might find yourself avoiding it altogether. Or maybe you want to feel closer to someone, but can’t figure out how to relax or enjoy it.

Trauma can leave deep imprints—not just emotionally, but physically. In therapy, we won’t push or rush anything. This is a space where we can gently reconnect with your body, your sense of choice, and your ability to experience intimacy in a way that feels safe. You don’t have to go back to who you were “before”—you get to build something new, at your own pace, in a way that honors your story.

What If You’re Just… Not Sure What’s Wrong?

This comes up a lot. You’re not in crisis, but something feels off. Maybe you’re going through the motions in your relationship. Maybe you feel “meh” about sex. Maybe you’ve noticed tension around intimacy that wasn’t there before, or you’ve just stopped initiating altogether.

Here in Austin, where the culture is progressive and expressive, it can feel like everyone else is having amazing, empowered sex lives—and you’re the only one quietly wondering what’s missing.

You’re not the only one. There’s no “normal” when it comes to sex. There’s only what feels right for you. And in therapy, we get to explore what that is without pressure, comparison, or trying to fit into someone else’s idea of how things should look.

What Sex Therapy Looks Like (And What It Doesn’t)

Sex therapy isn’t clinical or cold. It’s not invasive or uncomfortable. It’s a conversation—a real one—about something very human. Our sessions might include talking through specific concerns, building communication tools, exploring body awareness, or simply giving you the space to ask questions you’ve never felt safe enough to ask before.

You don’t need to have the “right words.” You don’t have to have a diagnosis or a checklist. You just have to be curious about what’s going on—and open to exploring it in a way that feels grounded, gentle, and affirming.

Sex After Betrayal or an Affair: “Can We Ever Feel Close Again?”

After an affair, it’s common for couples to feel unsure how to reconnect physically. Even if both of you want to heal and move forward, the idea of being intimate again can feel heavy—or just plain confusing.

One of you might be feeling guarded, not ready to open up. The other might be afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. And sometimes, both partners want that closeness back but aren’t sure how to find it without stirring up pain, doubt, or awkwardness.

You might be asking yourselves things like:
“Will it ever feel natural again?”
“What if it just brings everything back up?”
“How do we even start this conversation without making things worse?”

Sex therapy gives you a place to talk through all of that, without pressure. We take our time. We focus on rebuilding emotional safety first, so that any physical closeness that follows is actually comforting, not something you feel like you’re supposed to do.

There’s no checklist or “right way” to get back to each other after betrayal. But when both people are open to exploring what healing could look like—on your terms—real connection becomes possible again. Sometimes even stronger than before.

When ADHD Affects Your Sex Life

If you’re someone with ADHD—or in a relationship with someone who is—you might’ve noticed that intimacy doesn’t always feel simple. Maybe your mind races during sex, and it’s hard to stay present. Or you find yourself zoning out, getting distracted, or losing interest way faster than your partner does. And then comes the guilt, the confusion, the wondering, “Why can’t I just enjoy this like other people seem to?”

ADHD can impact so much more than focus and follow-through. It can shape how you experience closeness, how you handle emotional ups and downs, and how safe or connected you feel in your own body. You might deal with rejection sensitivity, get stuck in your head, or avoid intimacy altogether because it starts to feel overwhelming.

And if you’re in a relationship where one or both of you have ADHD, you’ve probably already run into some mismatches—different energy levels, different communication styles, different sensory needs. None of that means something’s wrong with you. It just means your relationship might need a different kind of support.

In therapy, we talk about all of this openly. No shame. No “shoulds.” Just real, honest conversations about what’s going on—and how we can make intimacy feel easier, more grounded, and more connected. You don’t have to keep guessing or blaming yourself.

You Deserve to Feel Safe, Seen, and Connected—in Your Body and Your Relationships

If you’re here reading this, something’s already stirring in you. Maybe a desire for clarity. For connection. For healing. You don’t need to push it down or figure it all out before reaching out. That first step allows us to feel tender. It’s also allowed to bring relief.

I work with individuals and couples across Texas—including right here in Austin—who are ready to have more honest conversations about sex, intimacy, and the things we’re not taught how to talk about. Virtual sessions are available and tailored to meet you exactly where you are.

If you’re ready to take that next step—or even if you’re just thinking about it—I’d be honored to support you. Reach out to schedule a free consultation or your first session. You don’t have to do this alone.
