Therapy for Relationships, Sex, and self-Worth in northern virginia
Empowering relationship therapy where you feel at home inside and out.
Relationships don’t look or feel the way you wish they did.
You want to go from feeling anxious and isolated to feeling confident and connected in your relationships with sex, self, and others.
-
Many of us are kept from getting to know our sexual selves. Sex is considered “taboo” and often not talked about in a pleasure-centered way. This leaves you feeling like you’re “failing” or wondering if the sex you desire is “normal”.
Good news. Because you are human you are sexual. You deserve to know and accept this part of you.
-
Relationship experiences across your life have left you feeling like an outsider. You worry that you’ll be rejected, unloveable, won’t measure up, are “too much”, or “not enough”. You are exhausted and want to leave these beliefs behind.
You can. It is possible to feel accepted and loved for who you are, important, and understood.
-
You and your partner(s) find yourself in the same dance. Both of you afraid to initiate sex after countless times feeling rejected, unappreciated, and overwhelmed. You long to feel connected and close again but you feel so far from one another.
You can learn how to step out of this pattern and find a way back to the intimacy you both desire.
-
You feel insecure about sex whether it is because of sexual trauma, trouble with arousal or erectile difficulties, pelvic pain or feel sexually immature. There are so many experiences that can lead us to having a conflicted relationship with sex.
Know that you are not broken. You can have a relationship with sex where you feel confident, empowered, and in control.
I’m Meghan.
I believe that you are deserving of greater confidence, sex and relationships.
I practice holistic sex and attachment-based therapy that focuses on bringing greater intimacy and confidence to you and your relationships. Commonly, you will find me supporting people navigating patterns of people pleasing, boundary and relational concerns, family of origin pain, sexual anxiety and shame, exploration of sexual identities, sexual trauma, and finding relief from sexual pain and erectile difficulties.
Sexuality touches all aspects of your life, when working with me we will take the time explore and learn about the experiences that have shaped you today so that it can help guide us towards the version of you and your relationships you long to have.
My practice is LGBTQ+-affirming, kink-aware, non-monogamy affirming, where all of you is welcome.
