Sex Therapy with Allie

Root Yourself in Your Sexuality

As an Associate Marriage Family Therapist and Sex therapist, I often get asked what Sex Therapy entails. Let me save you the suspense, no it does not mean I have sex with clients and we don’t spend the sum of our time talking about sex. Sex Therapy integrates much more than what we are led to believe. I approach Sex Therapy through a systemic lens; this means we will explore areas such as healthy relationships, gender identity, societal messaging around sexuality, our relationship to our bodies, the impact of trauma, chronic health conditions, and so much more. Our relationship to sex and sexuality is complex. Let us explore what this all means for you and your relationships.

I do offer other therapeutic services for individuals, relationships and families outside of Sex Therapy. I am also trained working with a variety of other mental health concerns. Please reach out to me to discuss if we are a good fit for working to together.
