Sex and couples therapy for when you need a welcoming space to get real
A safe place to explore it all. From sex to trauma and shame to the existential questions that keep you up at night
You might be here because:
You end up watching porn on your phone while your partner sleeps because it feels easier than initiating sex and then feeling rejected.
You can’t get off because you can’t stop getting in your head.
You and your partner have become roommates instead of lovers.
For some reason, you just can’t get in the mood anymore, even though you are attracted to your partner and you do love them.
You scroll silently next to each other in bed before you fall asleep. This has somehow become the norm and you don’t even know to get back to the way things used to be.
Your past traumas, shame based messages, and old wounds keep coming up every time you try to feel good in your body, share your fantasies, or explore your authentic sexuality.
You want to feel alive again. In sex. In your life. In your relationship. You are just so tired of judging yourself and not letting people see the real you.
You want to make meaning out of this messy human experience. You’ve read all the self-help books and had too many ChatGPT conversations to count. But life, sex, and relationships still feel just as confusing and overwhelming.
You’re not alone.
Hi, I’m Giulietta. I know how hard it can feel to sit with the messy parts of being human: sex, shame, trauma, and those big existential questions that keep you up at night. Most of us were taught not to talk about these things. To numb out, make ourselves small, or quietly carry the weight alone.
But I believe life can be more. That relationships can be connecting and powerful. That sex doesn’t have to be a source of pain or shame, but can actually be playful, deep, and healing.
As a lifelong seeker and explorer, I’ve always been drawn to the questions we’re told to avoid: What is the meaning of this human experience? How can we release shame and live authentically? Why is sex so complicated? How can we feel safe enough to truly let another person in?
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with over 12 years of experience, I’ve had the honor of supporting people as they reclaim pleasure after trauma, reignite passion with their partners, and discover deeper meaning and self-acceptance. I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone, which is why therapy with me is shaped around your unique experiences and needs.
Together, we’ll create a welcoming space where you can finally bring the parts of yourself you’ve kept bottled inside and begin to feel more connected, authentic, and alive.
