Online Sex Therapy in BC
Specialized, Trauma-Informed Sex Therapy for Women & Gender-Diverse Individuals
Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy that addresses sexuality, women's health, hormonal transitions, mental health, trauma, and relationship challenges.
At BC Sex Therapy Co., I offer women-centred, online sex therapy across British Columbia in a safe and collaborative space.
Together, we’ll explore your lived experience, whether that involves perimenopause, ADHD, or healing from difficult past experiences, always grounded in your individual story.
I bring specialized training in trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and evidence-based counselling to support you. I provide secure, confidential sessions via video or phone, meeting you exactly where you are from every corner of BC.
What Sex Therapy Can Help With
Women's Sexual Health & Hormonal Transitions
Your body changes and so does your sexuality. Perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal shifts can all affect desire, arousal, and comfort. I help women understand what's happening in their bodies and find realistic, compassionate ways to reconnect with their pleasure and sexuality.
Sexual Trauma & cPTSD Recovery
If you've experienced sexual trauma, boundary violations, or abuse, you may notice its effects in your body, relationships, and sense of safety. Grounded in the Triphasic Model, I integrate EFT, Narrative, TF-CBT, and Exposure Therapy to help you process these experiences. I also incorporate body-based practices for nervous system regulation, which support healing from both single events and the complex patterns of cPTSD. Healing is possible, and it begins when you feel truly safe and supported.
ADHD & Sexuality
ADHD and sexuality are deeply interconnected, and my women-centred work supports adults navigating this intersection by addressing executive dysfunction, desire discrepancies, and the emotional toll of masking. If you struggle to quiet the noise in your head, find it hard to focus during intimacy, or constantly seek new and novel experiences, you are welcome here. I bring lived experience and specialized training to help you find answers in a safe and collaborative space.
Mental Health & Sexuality
Mental health and sexuality are deeply connected, and my approach supports individual women navigating how mood disorders, chronic stress, and medication side effects shape desire, arousal, and relationships. We explore how these factors influence your energy, your body's response, and your sense of self. If you are experiencing low desire, a disconnect between mind and body, or how these conditions have impacted your sexuality, I offer evidence-based counselling to help you find balance and restore connection.
Desire Discrepancy & Relationship Intimacy
Desire discrepancy is one of the most common reasons women seek sex therapy, often stemming from the confusion between spontaneous and responsive desire. My women-centred approach supports individual women navigating desire discrepancy, communication challenges, and complex relationship dynamics. We explore how these differences shape your connection, learn to communicate needs without blame, and rebuild intimacy without pressure. I offer a grounded, supportive space for you to process your feelings and experiences.
Diverse Relationship Structures & Identity
I am a sex-positive, kink-aware, and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming therapist. Whether you are exploring consensual non-monogamy, navigating questions about your sexual orientation or gender identity, or working through internalized stigma, I offer a safe space where all of you is welcome.
What to Expect in a Sex Therapy Session
Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy and it never involves physical contact or any sexual activity during sessions. The focus is entirely on conversation, education, and emotional processing in a safe and confidential environment.
Here is what our sessions include:
A Safe, Confidential Space: A non-judgmental environment where you can discuss intimate concerns, trauma, or relationship challenges with total privacy.
Evidence-Based Approaches: Tailored strategies grounded in science to address your specific goals, whether that is healing from trauma or improving intimacy.
Psychoeducation: Clear, accessible information about how your body, hormones, nervous system, and mental health interact to affect your sexuality.
Practical Tools: Actionable skills for communication, boundary-setting, and reconnecting with your desire in ways that feel safe and authentic.
A Collaborative Partnership: A relationship where you set the pace, ensuring you always feel in control and respected.
Sessions are 50–60 minutes and held online via secure, encrypted video across British Columbia. Many clients find that being in the comfort of their own home makes it easier to open up about sensitive topics, and that once we begin, the conversation flows more naturally than expected. If you are considering sex therapy, I invite you to book a free consultation so we can see if this is the right fit for you.
