 In my 14 years experience as a State Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist/Psychotherapist I have helped hundreds of patients with sex and intimacy issues. In a NON-JUDGMENTAL, EMPATHIC, SAFE atmosphere we can explore any issue. Whether the issues are Fear Of Intimacy, sexual inhibitions, Partners of Survivors issues, mismatched desire and frequency issues, lack of desire, orgasm issues, pre-mature ejaculation, arousal issues, disturbing fantasy issues, fetishes, role playing etc.- I can help.
I can take an exploratory or solution-focused approach to any issue and help you meet whatever goal you have including needing perspective, meaning making, or practical advice. I have worked with people from just about every culture and sexual orientation. I am a 'gay-friendly' therapist.
Understanding the meaning of sexual fantasies from dreams and waking fantasies are a specialty of mine and i have special training in this area. In my perspective there are few highly useful universal meanings and no bible for dream and fantasy interpretations. I have found that people are often stuck in a compromise between a wish and a fear. I have also found that every issue in sexual life has its parallel process in emotional life. Linking these issues is one of the most powerful tools that sex therapists use.
I have found that experience with dreams and unconscious conflict analysis is an essential factors. Interpretations that are informed by a combination of the dream story, one's history, and from the relationship enactments with a trained intuitive psychotherapist yield the best (most useful) interpretations.
The collaboration of patient (or dreamer/fantasizer) and psychotherapist on the interpretations seems to give the deepest interpretations and yield the greatest explanatory power. Two quotes that have stuck in my mind are: a) It often takes two unconscious minds (as well as bodies and souls) to know one. b) We are all geniuses except when it comes to ourselves.
