Concerns I Help Clients Address

Sexual health is an essential part of overall well-being, yet it remains one of the most difficult topics for people to discuss openly — even with a therapist. As an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and Supervisor, and Co-Director of the Program in Human Sexuality at NYU Langone Medical Center, I bring a level of specialized training and clinical expertise that sets my practice apart.
Desire & Arousal — Low desire, mismatched libido between partners, or difficulty becoming physically aroused.
Orgasm Difficulties — Inability to reach orgasm, delayed orgasm, or concerns about sexual response.
Sexual Pain — Vaginismus, dyspareunia, and other conditions that make intimacy painful or impossible.
Erectile & Ejaculatory Concerns — Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and related challenges.
Sexual Identity — Coming out, exploring sexuality, and navigating questions about sexual orientation or identity.
Trauma & Abuse — Healing from sexual trauma, assault, or abuse and reclaiming a healthy relationship with intimacy.
Compulsive Behaviors — Sexual compulsions, addictive patterns, and out-of-control sexual behavior.
Couples Intimacy — Reconnecting physically and emotionally with your partner through guided couples work.

What Makes AASECT Certification Different

AASECT (the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists) requires rigorous advanced training in human sexuality beyond what is covered in standard clinical programs. This means I am equipped to address sexual concerns directly and knowledgeably, rather than treating them as secondary to other issues.

Sex therapy is talk therapy. It takes place in my office and involves open, guided conversation. At times, I may prescribe specific exercises for you or your partner to practice privately at home. I work with adults of any age, gender, and sexual orientation. Visit my sex therapy FAQ for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy conducted in my office. We discuss your concerns, explore the emotional and relational factors involved, and develop strategies for improvement. I may suggest specific exercises for you to try privately at home. There is no physical contact or nudity involved in sessions — it is professional, confidential conversation.

Not at all. Many of my clients come as individuals to explore concerns about desire, arousal, identity, past trauma, or patterns in their sexual lives. Sex therapy is for anyone — regardless of relationship status, age, gender, or sexual orientation — who wants to understand and improve their sexual well-being.

A sex therapist has completed extensive specialized training in human sexuality beyond standard clinical education. Many general therapists are not equipped to address sexual concerns directly and may avoid the topic altogether. As an AASECT-certified professional, I have the training and experience to engage with these issues openly, knowledgeably, and without discomfort.

AASECT stands for the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. Certification requires advanced coursework, supervised clinical hours specifically in sex therapy, and ongoing professional development. It is the gold standard credential in the field and ensures that your therapist has deep, specialized expertise in sexual health.
