Sex and couples therapy for breast cancer survivors
Nobody prepares you for what breast cancer can do to your relationship with your body, your sexuality, and your partner.
You might be navigating changes in your body, shifts in your relationship with sexuality, menopause symptoms, fatigue, pain, anxiety about recurrence, fertility concerns, or a disconnected relationship with your partner.
Cancer treatment is often focused on treating the disease, leaving little space to address the changes to intimacy, desire, pleasure, body image, and sexual wellbeing that can happen during and after treatment. You may find yourself trying to make sense of a body, relationship, or sexual self that feels different than it did before cancer.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
As a breast cancer survivor, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and trauma-informed therapist, I will bring both lived experience and professional expertise to our work together
I offer online sex therapy throughout California for individuals and couples navigating the sexual, emotional, and relational impact of breast cancer.
What we might explore:
Low desire
Vaginal dryness or painful sex
Difficulty with arousal or orgasm
Body image and grief related to changes in your body
Anxiety about being touched or seen by your partner
Feeling disconnected from your sexuality
Relationship stress during or after treatment
Fertility concerns and grief
Fear of recurrence impacting intimacy
Dating after breast cancer
How we can meet your goals:
My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience. As a breast cancer survivor and sex therapist, I understand that the impact of cancer doesn't end when treatment is over. Together, we'll create a space to talk openly about the challenges you're facing, explore what has changed, and identify practical and meaningful ways to move toward the life, relationships, and sexuality you want.
You deserve to feel good in your body again and to reconnect with your sexuality.
Whether you're in active treatment, adjusting to survivorship, living with metastatic breast cancer, or simply trying to feel at home in your body again, therapy can help.
