Let’s get curious of our parts…

Ever notice how one part of you desires sex…while another part of you wants to avoid it entirely? 

Depending on your life experiences, there may be a part of you that believes that sex is dangerous or shameful and prevents you from connecting with your body with pleasure. 

That’s not brokenness — that’s your nervous system trying to protect you.

Within the Internal Family Systems framework, we believe there are multiple parts within us that try to make sense of how to function in this world in way that feels the most safe.

IFS-informed sex therapy helps you listen to every part of you without shame, so desire can return in a way that actually feels safe and connecting.

Here’s what we’ll do together.

I use a gentle approach that combines sex therapy with Internal Family Systems (IFS). This means we pay attention to the different “parts” of you that show up around sex—like the part that wants intimacy, the part that feels nervous or shut down, or the part that worries about performance. Each part has a reason for why it shows up, and we work to understand these parts instead of pushing them away.

Together, we listen to these parts with curiosity and compassion. When a part feels seen and heard, it often relaxes, and new ways of connecting, feeling desire, and enjoying intimacy can emerge. A hope is that this work can aid in helping make sex and intimacy feel more natural and less stressful.

By working with all of you—the parts and your true self—we create space for pleasure, desire, and connection to grow in ways that feel safe, authentic, and enjoyable.
