If intimacy feels far away, if you feel cut off from your body, or if closeness feels complicated… you are not broken, and you are not alone. I offer therapy for individuals and couples who want more ease in sex, love, identity, and connection. For those curious about living in deeper alignment with their body, desire, and authentic self, you are in the right place.

Here, we talk about pleasure, gender, sexuality, and relationships in an affirming and grounded way, all at your pace. Whether you are navigating coming out, exploring identity, healing from shame, working through desire differences, opening or redefining a relationship, or tending to the impact of minority stress, you deserve care that honors your lived experience. My practice is queer-affirming, body-positive, and supportive of trans, nonbinary, polyamorous, kinky, and sex-positive communities, all based on over a decade of experience as a sex-educator.

I help with low or shifting desire, mismatched libido, numbness, stress, sexual pain, communication challenges, religious or cultural shame, and the complex feelings that can arise around gender, sexuality, and embodiment. My work is gentle, somatic, and collaborative, without jargon or judgment. We move at your pace, with care and respect. Together, we build trust, clear language, and a kinder relationship with pleasure, boundaries, identity, and connection.

You deserve a space where you can speak openly about desire, orientation, gender, and pleasure without shame or explanation. If you are longing for more spark, closeness, or ease in your body and relationships, I welcome you to reach out when you feel ready. We can begin with a free 20-minute consultation and take it from there: https://calendly.com/cristareidsomatictherapy/freeconsult
