Neurodivergent and HSP Affirming Sex Therapy in California
Sex and relationships can be a lot when you feel everything deeply. Maybe you get overstimulated by touch or noise, or you need time to settle into your body before sex feels good. Maybe you love connection but also crave space, or you shut down when there is too much intensity. You might have been told you are “too sensitive,” “too much,” or “not enough.”
If you are neurodivergent or highly sensitive, intimacy can bring unique challenges and unique gifts. You might process emotions deeply, notice subtle shifts in your partner’s tone or energy, or need more clarity and safety to relax and feel present in your body. None of that means you are broken. It simply means your nervous system works differently, and sex therapy can help you understand and honor that difference.
What we might explore:
Understanding your sensory and emotional needs
Working through shame or masking that make it hard to relax or feel present during sex
Communicating needs around touch, stimulation, or space without guilt or self-blame
Building connection and regulation skills that support both your nervous system and your partner’s
Exploring desire, arousal, and pleasure from a neurodivergent and HSP affirming lens
Embracing who you are and honoring your nervous system and sexuality
How we can meet your goals
Our work will move at your pace and be centered what feels authentic for you. My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, HSP-aware, trauma-informed, and sex-positive. I welcome all the ways people experience, communicate, and express desire, and I honor your need for gentleness, structure, or space along the way.
We might use mindfulness or somatic practices to help you feel more grounded, and we’ll explore the stories you’ve carried about your sensitivity and relationships with compassion and curiosity.
This is a space where you don’t have to hide or explain your sensitivity. You get to bring your whole self and explore what it means to feel safe, connected, and authentic in sexuality and your relationships.
You don’t have to keep trying to fit yourself into a model of sexuality or connection that doesn’t actually work for you or feel authentic to you.
If you’re ready to explore what intimacy could feel like when it truly works with your nervous system, I’d love to connect.
