When sex or connection feels hard — but you still care deeply about the relationship

I support neurodivergent adults and couples who feel disconnected from sex, desire, or intimacy — especially following late ADHD or autism diagnosis, trauma, or major life changes.

Many of my clients are in long-term relationships and feel distressed that sex has become difficult, pressured, or absent despite deep care for their partner. Together, we explore the nervous system, neurodivergence, and relational safety to help intimacy feel possible again — without forcing, fixing, or shame.

A different approach to sex therapy

I offer sex therapy for individuals and couples, with a particular focus on working with neurodivergent people (including ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD clients). Many of the people I work with have found traditional therapy frustrating or overwhelming. They may struggle with communication differences, emotional overload, shutdown, sensory sensitivity, or feeling misunderstood — especially around sex and intimacy.

This work is designed to meet you where you are, and to adapt to how you process, communicate, and relate.

What working with me is like

Sex and relationship therapy is talking therapy with structure and direction. We focus on understanding what’s happening between you, why it keeps repeating, and what actually helps your nervous system feel safer in connection.

We go at a pace that feels manageable, and I review progress with you regularly so the work stays focused and supportive.

How long does sex therapy take?

There’s no fixed timeline. As a guide, many people work with me for around 18–24 sessions, while more complex relational or psychosexual concerns often benefit from longer-term work over 6–12 months.
