Meet Romi, Licensed Psychotherapist &
Certified Sex Therapist
I came to the field of psychotherapy with a deep curiosity about how the stories we carry shape the way we move through the world. This curiosity led me to the stories people rarely say out loud: the ones about bodies that hurt and sex that was supposed to feel good, but doesn’t.
Painful sex, whether it’s related to vaginismus, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, childbirth, or menopause, can leave you feeling disconnected from your body, your partner, and yourself. Many people arrive feeling broken, hopeless, or alone.
Together, we can approach these experiences with warmth and openness, building connection rooted in resilience and agency rather than self-blame.
Whether this is your first step or you’ve been navigating painful sex for years, I’m here to meet you where you are.
