What we can explore together:
Mismatched Sexual Desire
It’s common for couples to experience differences in sexual desire at some point in their relationship. One partner may want sex more often while the other feels less interest, and over time, this can lead to frustration, rejection, or distance. Mismatched desire doesn’t mean your relationship is broken—it often reflects underlying factors like stress, emotional disconnection, hormonal changes, or past experiences. In therapy, we create a safe space to explore each partner’s needs and feelings, improve communication about sex, and find ways to connect that honor both of your boundaries and desires.
Anxiety About Sex
Sexual anxiety can show up in many ways—worrying about performance, fearing rejection, feeling self-conscious about your body, or overthinking during intimate moments. This anxiety can make it difficult to relax, enjoy touch, or be present with your partner. It can also create a cycle of avoidance that deepens the disconnection. Together, we’ll identify what’s fueling the anxiety, whether it’s past experiences, internalized beliefs, or relational dynamics, and help you build confidence, self-compassion, and comfort with your sexual self.
Pain During Sex
Experiencing pain during sex—sometimes called dyspareunia—is more common than many people realize, but it can be physically and emotionally distressing. It may result from medical conditions, hormonal changes, past trauma, or muscle tension, and often brings feelings of shame, frustration, or isolation. This pain is not something you just have to “live with.” Therapy can help address the emotional and relational impacts while collaborating with medical providers to explore physical causes. We’ll work together to rebuild a sense of safety, comfort, and pleasure in your sexual experiences.
Sexual Trauma
Sexual trauma can have lasting effects on how you experience intimacy, trust, and your own body. It may lead to avoidance of sexual situations, difficulty feeling safe during intimacy, flashbacks, or a loss of sexual desire. Healing from sexual trauma is a deeply personal journey that requires safety, empathy, and respect for your boundaries. In therapy, we move at your pace, working to process what happened, reduce triggers, and reconnect you with your body and pleasure in a way that feels empowering and safe.
Asian Americans and the Stigma of Sex and Pleasure
In many Asian American communities, conversations about sex, desire, and pleasure are often wrapped in silence, shame, or strict cultural expectations. This stigma can make it difficult to openly explore your sexual identity, communicate your needs, or seek support when challenges arise.
You might have been taught to view sex as taboo, something only for procreation, or even as a source of guilt and embarrassment. Expressing pleasure or sexual curiosity may feel “wrong” or disrespectful to family or cultural values. These messages can create deep internal conflicts, impacting your relationships and your connection to your own body.
Sex and intimacy struggles aren’t just personal—they’re often tied to these larger cultural pressures and intergenerational beliefs. Healing involves not only addressing individual challenges but also unpacking the complex cultural narratives that influence your experience of sexuality.
Couples & Sexual Connection
Sex and intimacy can be some of the most joyful parts of a relationship—yet they can also become sources of stress, disconnection, or conflict.
Every relationship’s intimacy journey is unique, and for LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and culturally diverse couples, there can be additional layers to navigate. Desire can shift over time, emotional closeness may ebb and flow, and life’s stresses—or unspoken fears—can make it harder to connect physically and emotionally. Sometimes, intimacy challenges stem from mismatched sexual needs, differences in communication styles, gender or sexual identity exploration, cultural expectations, or past experiences of shame or trauma.
In therapy, we create a space where your identities, relationship structure, and lived experiences are affirmed and respected. This is a place to talk openly about your needs, explore pleasure without judgment, and work through barriers that have been getting in the way of connection. Together, we’ll focus on rebuilding trust, deepening understanding, and finding ways to bring back passion in a way that feels authentic and safe for both of you. Because sexual intimacy is not just about physical touch—it’s about feeling seen, desired, and valued exactly as you are.
