Don’t want to go to a mainstream psychotherapist because they might be uncomfortable with your sexual concerns? As a Clinical Sexologist, I am a specialist.
On any given day I get calls from people needing help with:
Arousal Concerns
Worried you won’t get turned on? Many people do, really. Arousal isn't as spontaneous and natural as we might like.
Afraid he’ll lose interest if you don't exhibit arousal? Garden variety performance anxiety isn't just for guys. Women experience it ...
Body Image
Women turn to food when they are hungry for something they can’t identify: to feel loved, heard, seen, wanted, worthy, safe…
And when you’re stuffing feelings, you’re suppressing sexual feelings too.
Communication
I can safely say that almost everyone who has come in to see me has complained about ‘communication’. It seems to plague all of us at some point.
Couples' Enrichment Therapy
Whether alone or better yet, with your mate, Relationship Therapy can increase intimacy, eliminate constant conflicts, help you feel heard and appreciated, improve communication, and avoid divorce.
Desire Discrepancy
Desire Discrepancy – that’s psychobabble for when one person wants sex more than the other – know anyone like that? It causes problems. We can resolve them.
Feeling Stuck
I can help you understand why you are stuck the way you are, how it makes perfectly good sense, and how to change it.
Infidelity
Everybody hurts deeply—the one who feels betrayed as well as the one who strayed. But there is a way to heal. After an affair, I invite you to be scrupulously honest with yourself and choose growth.
Intimacy
Americans use the term 'intimcacy' as a euphemism for sex. I mean it as “into-me-you-see,” revealing your vulnerable underbelly, letting yourself be known, showing up authentically.
Low Libido
Not interested in sex? If the reason isn't medical, it's almost certainly emotional. If the lack of desire is causing a problem for you, let's talk and get to the bottom of it.
Menopause and Beyond
Menopause involves a lot of changes that can affect your sexuality, your intimacy, your body image, and your relationship/marriage. But menopause doesn't have to mean the end of sex.
Orgasm Challenges
Can’t do it with a partner but want to?
Can’t quite get there by yourself either?
Afraid to lose control? Afraid you'll make a weird face? You will! That's ok ~ we all do.
Orgasm is like dessert at the end of a meal. But you don't need to rus...
Sex "Beyond the Norm"
Sexual Orientation
What gender turns you on: men, women, both, transsexuals, not sure…
Let’s talk about it without any judgment
Compulsive Sexual Behavior
Some call it "Sex Addiction"
Basically, it’s feeling out of control with ...
Sex and Romance for Parents
Is there sex after parenthood? If you're like a lot of parents, it can be especially challenging for those with young children to keep the romance alive. You're so busy all the time, and the kids are so demanding and exhausting, and you hardly have an...
Sexless Marriages
Take the time, uninterrupted, to focus on each other. Be compassionate with yourselves. Be present and kind with each other. BE together.
Sexual Boredom
Here's the rub folks: there's no such thing as sexual boredom. I don't mean to invalidate your feelings, but to take sexual boredom at face value is short sighted.

Sexual Function
Don’t want to go to a mainstream psychotherapist because they might be uncomfortable with your sexual concerns? As a Clinical Sexologist, I can help you with several aspects of sexual functioning.
Sexual Trauma
If you have been sexually violated, it does not have to define you. There is more to you than that. But you need to recover from it.
Non-Consensual Sexual Behavior
Rape, molestation, sexual harassment…
You can heal and have a healthy r...
Wanting to Find a Relationship
Get clear about what you want in a relationship: must-haves and deal-breakers. Learn quickly how to not waste your time on dates with people who aren't a match for you.
Writing Personal Ads
I can help you write your ad and give you feedback about it. Some people have a hard time writing a match.com ad that truly represents who they are. You need to be specific to find a perfect fit.
I offer sex therapy services to people in Marin County and the San Francisco Bay Area from my San Rafael office. In addition to in person consulting in my office, I can work with you via Skype or phone. Contact me
