I came from a conservative Christian background that instilled a culture of fear and shame around sex and sexuality. The sex-negative messaging that I received for so many years made it hard for me to accept/understand my own sexuality, and created a deep anxiety around physical intimacy that was affecting my relationship with my partner.
We came to see Dr. M to work through some of these issues and get on a path towards the sexual intimacy that we both desired. From day one, Dr. M created a comfortable, non-judgmental environment for us to talk about parts of our lives that we'd been socially conditioned to keep quiet about. She asked thoughtful questions that encouraged us to dig deeper and think about things differently; and she responded to our experiences and concerns with genuine compassion and insightful feedback.
The "homework" Dr. M has assigned to us over the past few months has helped us address our personal challenges and insecurities head-on, and work towards overcoming them. We've come to realize through working with her that we're not only building towards a more fulfilling sex life, we're also developing greater self-acceptance and a deeper emotional connection/vulnerability with each other. We are so thankful that we found Dr. M, and are looking forward to continuing our work together.
