Sex Therapy
Collaborative safe environment
Talking about sex and sexual difficulties can be difficult. We are taught that it is a taboo, forbidden topic. Most of us didn't have an opportunity to learn the vocabulary to have informed discussions. Some of us may have been discouraged from even exploring out own bodies.
This is why I invested in advanced training and strive to provide a safe collaborative environment for clients.
