Introduction

Reclaim joy and intimacy in the hustle of NYC. Are you grappling with prolonged life imbalance, leading to increased anger, resentment, and isolation? As a dynamic individual or power couple navigating high-powered careers, you might find yourself dismissing needs and neglecting relationships. The toll on your physical, emotional, mental, and sexual well-being can be overwhelming. It's time to break free from the city grind, foster deeper connections, and embrace transformative intimacy. If you're seeking a solution tailored to your fast-paced New York life, sex-positive and kink-affirming therapy with me could be the key. Embark on a therapeutic adventure crafted for individuals and couples performing in high-pressure or demanding NYC environments. Our journey together involves uncovering your true sexual selves, nurturing sexual self-esteem, and mastering self-regulation. In our sessions, we'll fortify sexual exploration and expression through enhanced self-advocacy, increased body awareness, and refined conflict resolution skills. Together, we'll address the complexities of physical intimacy (desire, arousal, orgasm, erectile challenges, painful intercourse) and navigate emotional intimacy challenges such as conflict management, trust, and fidelity. Specializing in consensual non-monogamy, our sessions could include exploring polyamory, ENM, swinging, sugar dating, and kink/BDSM—all within the context of your unique desires and curiosity. With my integrative approach to treatment, I offer a personalized and practical path to healing. Together, we'll delve into major themes such as creativity, love, meaning, freedom, and self-actualization. Grounded in the potential for change and self-directed growth, our sessions will identify physiological experiences to better understand psychological impacts on sexual functioning.
