Existential Consulting on Desire, Intimacy and Sexual Meaning

Los Angeles

Many people who search for sex therapy in Los Angeles are not looking for techniques or performance based solutions. Something that once felt alive may now feel distant, confusing, or fragmented. Desire may feel inconsistent or hard to locate. Intimacy may feel charged, effortful, or strangely empty. You may be functioning well in many areas of life, yet sense that something essential in your sexual or intimate world no longer feels coherent.

I offer existential consulting for individuals in Los Angeles who want to explore the meaning of desire and intimacy rather than pursue clinical treatment.

This work begins from the understanding that changes in sexual experience are rarely accidental. They often reflect deeper questions of identity, agency, freedom, belonging, and recognition. Desire responds to how we live, how we relate, and how we protect what matters to us.

A Depth-Oriented Orientation

Existential consulting is a reflective, interpretive process. It is not skills based, performance focused, or diagnostic. Sexual experience is approached as psychologically and philosophically meaningful rather than as a problem to be fixed.

Rather than asking how to restore desire, we ask what desire is responding to.

In our work, we may explore:

how desire relates to autonomy, attachment, and selfhood
how vigilance, control, or self monitoring interfere with intimacy
how sexual withdrawal can function as protection rather than dysfunction
how wanting and being wanted shape one’s sense of reality, worth, and selfhood

Rather than pathologizing desire, it is treated as meaningful.
Rather than prescribing solutions, we listen for what has been silenced.

How This Differs From Sex Therapy

Many people arrive here after searching for sex therapy or intimacy focused therapy and sensing that technique driven or solution focused approaches did not address what felt most essential.

While my background is in clinical sexology and existential psychotherapy, the work I offer to individuals in Los Angeles is consultative rather than therapeutic. It does not involve diagnosis, treatment of mental health conditions, or the practice of psychotherapy as defined by state licensure laws.

The stance remains depth oriented, careful, and grounded in serious psychological thought.

Who This Work Is For

This work is best suited for individuals who are:

psychologically minded and reflective
interested in depth rather than quick solutions
able to tolerate ambiguity and complexity
curious about meaning, authorship, and coherence

It is often well suited for people who sense that something important is unfolding in their intimate life and do not want to reduce it to pathology.
