“I want to want sex, but I just don’t.”
“I’m afraid to initiate because I don’t want to fail again.”
“We just can’t seem to find the right time, and when we do, it doesn’t work like it used to.”
These are the conversations that happen in my office every week.
And for most people, things get better.
Most sex therapy focuses only on the psychological. Most pelvic floor therapy focuses only on the physical. I bring both together because your sexual health lives at the intersection of body, mind, and relationship patterns.
Because sex happens in the body and very often in the pelvic floor.
You may not need traditional pelvic floor exam and therapy, but everyone needs a sex therapist with an understanding of the body, nervous system, sensory preferences, arousal, and the pelvic floor.
This is for you if you experience:
What we’ll work on together:
“I approached Dr. Ellis for help with ED that was the product of performance anxiety. By the time I started working with her, I was riddled with anxiety and feeling hopeless about a return to "normal" function. Dr. Ellis immediately reassured me that she could help me and she made candid communication about a very difficult subject easy. I'm very grateful that I found her and, while my results have been great, I know that I have a wonderful resource if I need help in the future. ”

What we’ll work on together:
“All I wanted was to figure myself out more and learn about how to have good sex. I just had this hunch that sex could be better... and, boy, was I right!”

What we’ll work on together:
“Therapy sessions with Dr. Ellis have been incredibly helpful in my wife and I reconnecting both physically and emotionally. She makes broaching difficult and/or embarrassing topics easy, and her thoughtful feedback during our discussions was very insightful. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Ellis to any couple interested in pursuing sex therapy. ”

If you are gender non-conforming, transgender, or just don’t quite see yourself in the descriptions above and wondering if we’d be a good fit, please send me a message and we’ll set up a 15 minute call to discuss your goals.
We’ll discuss your concerns and goals to make sure we’re a good fit before you commit to therapy.
During a 50 minute initial session, we’ll have an in-depth conversation about your sexual health, what’s not working, and what “better” would look like.
I’ll ask comprehensive questions about desire, arousal, experiences, and goals, but you’re always in control of what you’re comfortable discussing.
When clinically indicated and if you’re consenting, we’ll include pelvic floor evaluation to understand how physical factors might be affecting your sexual experience.
Each session is a collaborative process where we discuss how last session’s suggestions went, discuss mind-body strategies, and further explore challenges and possible ways forward.
I’m available via email and client portal between sessions for reflections, questions, and celebrating progress.
“Open dialogue and communication isn’t always enough for a couple to understand each others’ sexual wants and needs and explore their physical relationship. For a subject that many of us have been socialized to feel is taboo, having Kathryn guide conversation by offering a perspective that is open, nonjudgmental, and exploratory made all the difference.”
