Hello I’m Annette Gates, LCSW, MEd, CSSE, CGC. All those letters show my dedication to holding a safe space for your healing. Most of my clients are struggling with sexuality and intimacy issues within their relationships. Often there are persistent patterns and sexual functioning concerns leading to decreased emotional intimacy in relationships. Discussing sexuality and relationship concerns can be difficult for people. Using strength-based approaches and presence, I help unravel your patterns.

I am a trauma-informed sex and relationship therapist who helps people gain sex and relationship skills. I have lots of knowledge and wisdom to offer that is clinical, humanistic and spiritual (not religious). My philosophy, is about healing the human energy system, body/emotion, mind, and spirit. Spirit is not separate!

Discussing sexuality and relationship concerns can be difficult for people. I've known how long people struggle with an issue and never see change. I can help you find this change using strength-based, practical approaches and solution-focused therapy to get desired results. My webinars, courses, and coaching packages are great paths to affordable support.
