Sex and Intimacy Challenges

Are you wondering what happened to the intimacy you used to feel? Are you asking yourself if you will ever get back to having hot sex? Or any sex at all for that matter? If you’re here, you’re probably feeling that the closeness in your relationship has slipped and you find yourself feeling distant from your partner—even though you’re both sharing a life together. Perhaps you feel vulnerable just thinking about intimacy or worry that your needs won’t be understood, let alone met. Or you’re struggling to express what you want in a way that feels safe. 

​

“Can we really get that closeness back?”

​

"Is it possible to talk about our needs without feeling judged?”

​

The answer is yes—reconnecting, rekindling passion, and restoring intimacy are absolutely possible.

 A Space Where You Can Feel Secure, Seen, and Respected

When you come to therapy with me, you’re entering a space of absolute non-judgment. I honor all the unique ways intimacy may show up in your relationship, from the familiar to the new and unconventional. No kink shaming. Our work will respect your preferences, boundaries, and any expressions of intimacy you bring into the room. Society often sends confusing, contradictory messages about sex and relationships, which can make it hard to know what’s “normal” or “healthy.” Here, you get to set those pressures aside and focus on what you both truly want and need to feel close again.

​

Do Any of These Struggles Feel Familiar?

• ​It feels impossible to talk openly about sex or intimacy without feeling judged, misunderstood, or rejected.

​​

• Cultural expectations and social pressures have impacted your view of intimacy, leaving you wondering what it’s “supposed” to look like.

​​

• Differences in desire or preferences have created tension and sometimes leave you feeling isolated from your partner. 

​​

• Letting go of control over intimacy feels vulnerable, yet holding back leaves you feeling distant from your partner.

• You don't want to settle for a sexless marriage. 

How I Can Help You Rebuild Trust, Vulnerability, and Connection

Together we will explore what true intimacy, sex and touch mean to you both.

We will get to the root of what needs are non-negotiable for you both. Together, we’ll create a respectful atmosphere where you’ll be able to openly talk about your desires, reconnect emotionally, and rebuild the sexual closeness that may feel hard to reach right now.
