Relationship, Sex, and Intimacy Therapy

Now accepting new clients

Do you feel like you’ve lost your spark with a partner? Have you been feeling disconnected from yourself or a partner? Does sex ever feel uncomfortable and painful? Do you struggle with arousal and desire fluctuations? Are you feeling nervous about sharing certain sexual desires or kinks with a partner or coming to terms with them yourself? Do you hold fears or shame that prevent you from having the kind of intimacy you want to have? These are all concerns I have helped clients navigate. If any of these questions resonate, I encourage you to reach out.

Through warm, direct, and culturally empathetic care, I strive to meet you wherever you are on your journey to healing and help you reach your goals. I use an affirmative lens to work with individuals and couples/relationships of all identities, both in sex therapy and beyond. I specialize in working with erotically marginalized individuals and couples, such as those in the queer, trans, kinky, and polyamorous communities. You’ll be amazed at the relief that comes from having a dedicated and non-judgemental space to explore gender, eroticism, sex, intimacy, and identity.

You’re not alone in your struggle. All are welcome here!

Sex Therapist Deana Tolstunov, LMFTA.

Hi, I’m Deana

Specializing in kink-affirming care.

Kink-specialized therapy can help you get to a place of self-understanding and self-acceptance for your kinks. You may benefit from kink-specialized care if you are curious about exploring something new, interested in sharing and opening up with a partner, want to deepen an existing kink relationship, or simply want to work with a judgment-free therapist who is knowledgeable on such topics. I keep up to date on kink and BDSM research and educate myself alongside the kink community to ensure you an affirming and comfortable space to share. Whether working with me individually or in a relational dynamic, rest assured I will meet you with openness.
