What I Can Help You With

Sex and Trauma Therapy in San Antonio

Learn to manage Stress, tolerate Anxiety, and strengthen Self-Esteem

  • Unlearn generational patters and learn or identify healthy ones that build the life you want

  • Identify what puts you in a defense mode

  • Retire the mask you wore to protect yourself

  • Stop feeling shame, fear, or confusion about sex or intimacy

  • Support if you have experienced trauma, betrayal, or emotional neglect

  • Guidance for those seeking to reconnect with their bodies after trauma

  • Stop feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, numbing, or people-pleasing

  • Space to explore sex or relationships without fear or judgment

  • Safety for those that identify as queer, BIPOC, spiritual-but-deconstructing, or neurodivergent

By attending therapy, we’ll get a clear picture of where the origins of your symptoms are coming from so that we can create strategies for you to take back control. You do not have to feel tense, worried, living with high stress and the inability to feel like you can relax because “you never know what’s coming”. It can be seen in your relationships with others and in the relationship you have with yourself. We can build up your confidence to feel certainty in situations so that you’re not triggered into a self-doubt cycle that is really based on past situations. You can finally be able to say to yourself “I understand where this comes from, but it can be better now so lets do it differently”. You deserve to enjoy your life; You deserve relief. 

You may have been to therapy, but You have never been to therapy like this before!
