Sex Therapy
Sex therapy looks at two primary areas to assess sexual dysfunction and intervene therapeutically. Individual issues may include performance anxiety, depression, lack of sexual knowledge, sexual fears and inhibitions, shame, guilt, and intimacy issues. Issues within a relationship which may lead to sexual dysfunction include unresolved conflicts, communication difficulties, lack of knowledge, and unwillingness to experiment with new behavior.

Tantric Sexuality Education
Tantra offers a set of techniques and practices to enrich an individual’s or a couple’s sexual experience, deepen the intimate connection, and help each person reach his or her sexual potential.
The practitioner is taught a graded series of exercises and practices designed to help him or her learn to identify and amplify sexual sensation and to then use the breath to move these sensations throughout the body.
