Judith's story:

My passion for helping others to achieve the version of themselves that they desire was born out of the lack of confidence within myself to achieve the me that I desired. I recognized that years of fear, abandonment issues, and low self-esteem kept me from elevating to the version of myself that I was meant to be. After years of cycling through the stages of grief to mourn my past self, I allowed myself to enter the cocoon of self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-accountability to emerge on the other side unapologetically confident me that is here today.

I migrated to the United States from Jamaica over 25 years ago, where I have raised my 4 beautiful and amazingly supportive children. I completed my graduate degree at Central Connecticut State University with a major in advanced counseling, before obtaining my license in professional counseling.

I strongly believe that self-confidence is a superpower, once we start to believe in ourselves... the magic starts to happen.

“Heal on purpose, with patience, compassion, and courage.”

As a sex therapist, I help people "uncomplicate" their sexual self, explore their desires, understand arousal and sexual drives, learn about their sexual beliefs, and so much more. I treat issues such as ED, out of control or compulsive sexual behavior, sexual anxieties, difficulties in sexual identities or interests, and relational sexual hang-ups such as frequency disparities, incorporating kinks, and increasing sexual fulfillment in the relationship.

SEX THERAPY:

Sex Therapy will allow an individual to speak their inner thoughts out loud in a safe, non-judgmental environment. It will allow a person to bring all the issues to the forefront in order to discover the missing pieces an rearrange the pieces to fit together all while developing a larger understanding of self.

your 1st session:

The first session will be to skim the surface. Allow the person to state what they believe the problem or issue is. Through continuing sessions, doors will open and we will work together to gather the necessary strength to either close them or walk through them safely.

the goal:

The goals are for the client to gain a deeper connection and relationship with their body mind and soul. They will learn strategies to understand their love language and how to read and understand their current or future partner's love language. If physical intercourse or lack of orgasm is the issue, we will work together to discover how to awaken the vagina, what to do with it, and how to do it. Vaginal health is a definite topic of discussion. If the issue is mental health related, we will delve into that corner before touching anything physical.

Therapy is not one a size fits all and it is important that my client understands that I am aware of the disparities between cultures, races, and ethnicities that can and will sway the way how a person will thrive in therapy.

I want my clients to feel comfortable knowing that their journey is not on my timing. Healing will start when they are mentally and emotionally ready for it to start. I will tend to use more of a person-centered, motivational interviewing technique to allow the client to be in full control of the direction and pace of the therapeutic process.
