At Revive Intimacy Couples Counseling in Austin, I help couples and individuals address sexual concerns, enhance communication, and rebuild satisfying intimate relationships as a certified sex therapist.

Individual benefits of my sex therapy include:
Major life changes often impact sexuality and intimacy. As a family therapist associate with family therapist supervisor training, I specialize in helping clients navigate transitions such as:
The transition to parenthood brings physical changes, new demands on time and energy, and shifting relationship dynamics. I help new parents maintain intimacy amid these changes.
Creating a new family unit brings unique intimacy challenges. As a family therapist associate, I support couples in establishing healthy patterns that nurture both the relationship and family system.
Illness or injury can disrupt sexual patterns. My therapy helps couples adapt through alternative expressions of intimacy and connection despite physical limitations.
Aging brings natural changes to sexuality. I help clients adapt to these changes positively, finding new paths to satisfaction appropriate for their life stage.
I offer both in-person and virtual therapy options:
My comfortable, private office provides a dedicated space for therapy sessions, with the benefit of face-to-face connection. As the right therapist for your needs, I can help you feel ready to address even the most sensitive concerns.

No, sex therapy benefits individuals as well as couples. Many clients seek individual therapy to address personal sexual concerns, including anxiety, trauma recovery, and sexuality issues.
The duration varies depending on your specific concerns and goals. Some clients see significant improvement in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. I’ll discuss timeline expectations during your initial consultation.
Sex therapy is talk therapy that involves discussing your concerns, learning new communication skills, exploring emotional patterns, and developing strategies to address specific issues. I may assign exercises to practice between sessions, but there is never any sexual activity during therapy.
Absolutely. Like all forms of therapy, sex therapy is bound by strict confidentiality laws and ethical guidelines. Your privacy is protected, with exceptions only in situations mandated by law.
If you’re experiencing distress or dissatisfaction related to sexuality or intimacy, sex therapy may be helpful. An initial consultation can help determine if my approach suits your needs or if another form of support would be more beneficial.
Coverage varies by provider and policy. Sex therapy is typically covered when provided by a licensed marriage and family therapist or other qualified mental health professional for diagnosed conditions. I can help you understand your insurance benefits and options.
