Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Sexual challenges often intersect with developmental experiences, attachment injuries, cultural messages, or trauma. I integrate IFS, attachment theory, experiential techniques, somatics and EFT to address both the emotional and relational dimensions of intimacy.
Together, we work to reduce shame, regulate the nervous system, clarify boundaries and desires, and build secure connection—internally and within partnership. Therapy supports a sexuality that feels authentic, empowered, and grounded in consent and mutual respect.

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.

Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Sex Therapy is an effective way to address many kinds of sexual concerns. It allows you to better understand your sexual preferences, fantasies, and anxieties, as well as what’s preventing you from having the sex you most enjoy. You’ll become more aware of your beliefs, feelings, values, patterns, and expectations related to sex. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose how sex can be more fulfilling and pleasurable for you.
Working in therapy to understand and address the many sources that influence your sexuality, eroticism, and desire helps to untangle unhelpful narratives about sex. This results in improved feelings and attitudes toward sex and your body. I also work with you to align your actions with your values so you can stop the cycle of shame and guilt from unfulfilling behaviors.
