Why Sex Therapy Matters When You’re Living With Pelvic or Vaginal Pain

Pelvic pain and vaginal pain disorders—such as vaginismus, vulvodynia, vestibulodynia, endometriosis-related pain, or painful intercourse—can affect not only your physical comfort but also your mental health, self-esteem, and intimate relationships.

While medical providers focus on diagnosing and treating the physical symptoms, most doctors are not trained to address the emotional, psychological, and relational impact of these conditions. That’s where sex therapy comes in.

My Approach

I provide talk-therapy focused sex therapy designed to work in conjunction with your medical providers. I do not replace your gynecologist, pelvic floor physical therapist, or pain specialist. Instead, I focus on the sexual, relational, and emotional side of healing—the pieces of your life that often remain unspoken in medical offices.

My style is direct, compassionate, and practical. I create a safe, shame-free environment where you can talk openly about your pain, your fears, and your hopes for intimacy. Together, we explore the impact pain has had on your body image, your sexuality, and your relationships, and we work toward rebuilding confidence, comfort, and pleasure.
