Ease the Fear. Heal the Disconnect. Reclaim Pleasure Without Pressure.

In our sex therapy sessions, we will explore:

    •    Understanding the causes of sexual anxiety or avoidance

    •    Healing sexual trauma, shame, and negative experiences

    •    Reducing performance pressure and fear of rejection

    •    Rebuilding emotional and physical safety with a partner

    •    Exploring body image, identity, and internalized beliefs

    •    Communicating clearly and compassionately about sex

    •    Learning to enjoy physical intimacy without or fear

    •    Redefining sex in a way that feels safe and empowering

Sex is supposed to be a space for connection and intimacy—but when anxiety or avoidance takes over, it can feel like a source of tension, fear, or even dread. Whether you’re avoiding sex due to past trauma, performance anxiety, body image issues, or emotional disconnection, it can take a toll on your self-esteem, your relationship, and your sense of wholeness.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor, I help individuals and couples gently unpack the emotional layers behind sexual avoidance, so they can reconnect with their bodies, their partners, and their own capacity for pleasure—at their own pace, and with deep respect.

You don’t have to force yourself to feel ready. You deserve healing that honors where you are. Let’s help you replace anxiety with understanding—and avoidance with connection.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
