Sex Therapy, Intimacy & Erotic Fulfillment
Cultivating Connection, Pleasure, and Sexual Vitality
Sexuality is a vital dimension of human well-being, emotional closeness, and quality of life. Yet, physical changes, performance stress, unaddressed trauma, or relational drift can turn intimacy into a source of anxiety, frustration, or quiet isolation.
My work in sex and intimacy therapy provides a confidential, sophisticated, and deeply non-judgmental environment for both individuals and couples. Whether you are navigating specific functional challenges or seeking to deepen your erotic connection, our work bridges physical function, emotional intimacy, and psychological freedom.
Comprehensive & Functional Care
Sexuality involves a delicate balance between the physical body, the nervous system, and emotional safety. I provide expert guidance across a broad spectrum of sexual concerns, including:
Sexual Function & Performance Anxiety: Addressing erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and performance stress by quieting the body's alarm system and restoring effortless confidence.
Desire Dynamics & Arousal Discrepancy: Helping individuals and couples navigate low libido, mismatched sexual desire, or the natural shift in erotic energy over long-term partnerships.
Somatic Comfort & Pain-Free Intimacy: Supporting individuals through painful intercourse (vaginismus, dyspareunia, or pelvic tension) by integrating gentle nervous system regulation and mind-body awareness.
Trauma-Informed Healing: Gently reprocessing past sexual trauma, bodily shame, or restrictive cultural messaging, helping you reclaim safe, joyful ownership of your body and pleasure.
Expanding Intimacy & Alternative Lifestyles
Intimacy flourishes when couples move beyond mechanical routine and cultivate genuine emotional presence, playfulness, and eroticism.
Fusing Emotional Closeness with Eroticism: Helping partners build a shared language around desire, loving touch, and mutual pleasure—learning how to cultivate deep emotional safety without sacrificing erotic spark.
Alternative Lifestyles & Consensual Non-Monogamy: Offering an informed, open-minded, and affirmative environment for individuals and couples exploring alternative relationship structures, open relationships, polyamory, or BDSM/kink dynamics.
Whether you are seeking to resolve a specific functional concern, heal from past injuries, or expand your capacity for joy and fulfillment, our work offers the privacy, safety, and expertise needed to align your sexual life with your highest personal vision.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
As a sexologist, I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of intimacy, desire, and connection. Whether you’re struggling with desire discrepancies, sexual dysfunctions, or just wanting to deepen your sexual self-understanding, I create a safe, shame-free space to talk about what most people find hard to say out loud. I believe the biggest sexual organ is the brain, so much of sexual health starts with how we think, feel, and communicate. Together, we’ll work toward rebuilding confidence, pleasure, and authentic connection because great sex starts with self-awareness and emotional safety.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
My experience with sex therapy is this: for most of us, communication is at the core of the major issues. I certainly do look at the biological issues too, but those are actually uncommon. I also work with sexually kinky people that are being marginalized or simply need a venue to talk about something that some people might judge or disagree with. As long as your sexuality is safe, sane and consensual, I can support you, no matter how far "out there" you think you might be.
