Sex Therapists in Louisville, KY

As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I provide a private and thoughtful space for individuals and couples to address sexual concerns with care and directness. I work with issues such as desire differences, erectile difficulties, premature ejaculation, sexual anxiety, shame, intimacy avoidance, communication about sex, pornography-related concerns, and the emotional impact of sexual disconnection. Sex therapy is not about judging your sexuality or reducing it to mechanics. It is about understanding how desire, body, emotion, attachment, identity, values, and relationship patterns come together, and helping you move toward a healthier and more integrated sexual life.

Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy where we focus on the individual’s and/or couples issues with sex and sexuality. It can be based on functional issues such as erectile dysfunction, rapid ejaculation, inorgasmia, low desire, or more about a person’s sexuality or gender identity.

I provide sex therapy for individuals and couples navigating intimacy concerns, sexual trauma, communication challenges, desire discrepancies, relationship stress, and sexual wellness. As a Certified Sex Educator, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore sexuality, strengthen emotional and physical intimacy, improve communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique experiences, values, and relationship goals.

Clients (individuals and couples) experiencing sexual satisfaction issues, dysfunction, trauma reactions and low desire often seek my support. Through understanding relational and sexual histories, past experiences, cultural and gender-related narratives, I can help clients understand how their current issues arose. I work using attachment theory, relational and psychodynamic therapeutic approaches and sensate-focused exercises.

As a trans man with 7 years experience with ethical non-monogamy, nothing is too taboo -- LGBTQ, kink, non-monogamy, etc. All is welcome here.

Louisville's therapy community is shaped by the city's dual identity as a major healthcare hub — anchored by the University of Louisville Health system, Norton Healthcare, and Baptist Health — and a culturally rich city with deep roots in bourbon, thoroughbred racing, and Southern Midwestern community values. The Muhammad Ali Center and the city's civil rights heritage sustain meaningful conversations about racial identity, community resilience, and systemic inequity in clinical work. The University of Louisville's department of psychological and brain sciences provides important training resources for the local therapy community. Louisville's positioning at the intersection of Appalachian influence, Southern tradition, and Midwestern pragmatism shapes a therapy culture where direct, accessible, and often spiritually informed approaches find the broadest acceptance.
