Sex is one of the most human experiences there is — and one of the most difficult to talk about.
Whether you are living through sexual betrayal — an affair, cybersex, a secret that shattered everything — or navigating desire differences, sexual pain, intimacy questions, or something you have never said aloud to anyone — this is a space built for exactly that conversation.
In English. In Spanish. This welcoming space is yours.
If you have ever wondered whether what you are feeling is normal, or felt too embarrassed to bring it up anywhere else — this is exactly the right place.
Infidelity and Sexual Betrayal
When betrayal has shattered trust in your relationship, sex therapy provides a space to process the pain, understand what happened, and decide how to move forward.
Sexual Intimacy & Mismatched Desire
When you want more closeness and your partner feels pressure — or vice versa — we explore what’s underneath and find a path forward that honors both of you
Compulsive Sexual Behaviors
When sexual behavior feels out of control, distressing, or interfering with your relationships and daily life, therapy offers a non-shaming path toward understanding and change
Sexual Pain Disorders
Painful intercourse (dyspareunia), vaginismus, vulvodynia, and pelvic floor tension are real, treatable conditions. We work at your pace — with your body, not against it
Consensual Non-Monogamy
Whether you’re curious about ethical non-monogamy, in an open relationship, or navigating polyamory, this is a judgment-free space that respects all relationship structures
LGBT+ Affirming Sex Therapy
For gay, lesbian, bisexual, and questioning individuals and couples — a space where your identity is celebrated, not pathologized. All bodies, all relationships.
Forensic Sexual Health Assessments
Bilingual psychosexual evaluations for legal referrals — court-ready reports for defense attorneys in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. Attorney inquiries welcome.
What Is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy sessions are talk-based — there is no physical examination or touch involved. Everything happens in a safe, confidential, virtual setting from the comfort of your home. Available in English and Spanish across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC.
