Nicole Irving is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in sex and relationship therapy. She works with individuals and couples struggling with sexual dysfunction including difficulty with orgasm, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and sexual pain. Other issues she commonly treats are desire discrepancies between couples, exploration of fantasies, discovering and re-discovering desire, and working with the LGBTQ+ community in exploring identity and healing from trauma. In relationship work, she guides partners through strategies to improve communication, identify attachment issues, heal from infidelity, and build intimacy and security in the relationship.
