Sexual Concerns

Your sexuality deserves more than silence, shame, or survival.

Whether you're struggling with pain during intimacy, low desire, unwanted touch from the past, body image concerns, or a feeling that your sexuality never quite belonged to you — you’re not alone. For many women, especially Black and brown women, sexual health is complicated by messages that silence, erase, or control. You may have internalized that pleasure is unsafe, or that your body must perform, not feel.

I support women who are navigating:

  • Low Sexual Desire

  • Difficulty Achieving Orgasm

  • Pain During Intercourse (Dyspareunia)

  • Vaginismus

  • Sexual Trauma Recovery

  • Mismatched Libido

  • Body Image and Sexual Confidence

  • Postpartum or Post-Surgical Sexual Concerns

  • Sexual Shame or Guilt

  • Arousal Difficulties

  • Sexual Communication Issues With Partner

  • Desire Discrepancy After Life Transitions

  • Perimenopausal and Menopausal Transition

What to Expect

I help women untangle those messages and reconnect with their own desires, values, and voice. This work is deeply personal, and never rushed. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating sexual changes across the lifespan, or trying to understand what you want from intimacy — this is a space to explore safely, without judgment or pressure.

Together, we’ll work to restore trust between you and your body. To move from disconnection to clarity. From shutdown to choice. From coping to reclaiming. Your story doesn’t need to be tidied up to be worthy of care — it just needs to be heard.

Healing is Possible

Feeling disconnected from your own desires or struggling with intimacy can leave you feeling uncertain or even ashamed. I help you explore these concerns with empathy and without judgment, allowing you to reconnect with your sense of self and your sexual identity. My approach emphasizes creating a safe space where you can openly discuss your experiences, challenge outdated beliefs, and develop a renewed sense of confidence and agency.

Whether you’re addressing desire discrepancies, past trauma, or identity questions, our work will focus on helping you feel more present, more comfortable in your body, and more in control of your own pleasure and intimacy. You’ll walk away feeling more aligned with your needs and better equipped to navigate your relationships with honesty and self-assurance.
