Existential Consulting on Sexuality and the Inner Life
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is a city built around visibility. Bodies, relationships, and identities are continually shaped in relation to being seen. For many, this creates opportunity. For others, it creates a subtle strain. Sexuality becomes something managed, curated, or carefully withheld. Intimacy can feel exposed rather than nourishing.
People searching for sex therapy in Los Angeles are often responding to this strain. Desire feels inconsistent or pressured. Sexual connection feels present but oddly distant. Intimacy may be active, yet disconnected from the inner life.
I offer existential consulting for individuals in Los Angeles who want to explore sexuality as a site of meaning rather than as a problem to be treated.
This work begins with the understanding that sexual experience reflects how one lives with freedom, exposure, and selfhood. When desire shifts or withdraws, it often signals a deeper negotiation with identity, autonomy, and recognition.
Liaison. takes an atelier approach, devoted to slowing down and turning inward, without hurry.
The stance of the work
Existential consulting is not corrective or instructional. It does not aim to improve performance or restore a previous version of desire. Sexuality is approached as an expression of one’s relationship to self and other, shaped by history, choice, and protection.
Rather than intervening quickly, we create space to understand what intimacy has come to represent. We listen for how desire responds to pressure, how erotic energy retreats under scrutiny, and how being wanted can both stabilize and unsettle the sense of self.
This work values patience. It allows sexual experience to unfold in language before it is asked to change.
How this differs from sex therapy
Many people arrive here after encountering sex therapy models that emphasized skills, exercises, or symptom resolution, and found those approaches insufficient for what they were experiencing.
Although my training 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 planning, or the practice of psychotherapy as defined by California licensure law.
The orientation remains serious, reflective, and grounded in depth psychology, while remaining clearly distinct from clinical care.
Who this work tends to resonate with
This work often suits individuals who are introspective, aesthetically and psychologically sensitive, and interested in understanding their intimate lives at the level of meaning rather than function.
It frequently resonates with people who sense that sexuality has become entangled with visibility, control or self-monitoring, and want to approach it more honestly.
Background

Existential consulting is not psychotherapy and does not involve diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.
