For desire, intimacy, and the conversations no one taught you to have.
Sex therapy for California individuals and couples — body-aware, shame-free, and rooted in real connection.
Who this is for
Individuals and couples who want to bring their sexual lives into the conversation — without shame, without performance, and without pretending the body isn't part of the story.
Whether you're navigating mismatched desire, healing after a rupture, or simply wanting more aliveness in your intimate life, sex therapy is a space to slow down and look honestly at what's there.
What sessions look like
Sessions are conversation-based — there is no physical contact and no nudity. We talk about what's happening in your body, your relationships, your history, and your desires.
I work somatically and relationally, helping you notice what comes up in real time and try out new ways of being with yourself and your partner.
Over time, the shame loosens. The conversation gets easier. The intimacy becomes possible again.

Make sense of the gap between wanting to want and actually wanting.
Intimacy after rupture
Rebuild closeness when affairs, dishonesty, or distance have eroded trust.
Sexual communication
Find the words for what you want — and what you don't — without shutting down.
Mismatched needs
Move past the standoff of different desires and rediscover what's possible together.
We came to Fanshen at one of the toughest moments in our marriage, unsure if we would make it another year. Through all of our sessions — love, understanding, forgiveness, and growth flourished.
Let's start with a free conversation.
A 20-minute consultation so we can see if we're a fit — and so you can get a feel for how I work.
