Rekindle Your Connection: Sex and Intimacy Therapy for Individuals and Couples.
Intimacy is the foundation of a fulfilling relationship and a balanced personal life. Yet, it’s common for individuals and couples to face challenges that create distance, confusion, or distress in their sexual and emotional lives.

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #158068) under the supervision of Melissa Volchock, LMFT #120203, and a Sex and Intimacy Therapist, I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and evidence-based space to explore these sensitive issues for both couples and individuals. Whether you are navigating sexual dysfunction, differences in desire, recovering from infidelity, or simply seeking a deeper emotional connection, intimacy counseling provides the tools to build a more satisfying and authentic intimate life.

This is not just about sex; it’s about understanding the complex interplay between your thoughts, feelings, past experiences, and relationship dynamics that affect how you connect with yourself and your partner.

Finding Healing and Connection: Common Areas We Address

Your therapy is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on healing, communication, and emotional growth. I specialize in helping clients overcome challenges related to sexual health and relational intimacy.

How I Help Couples Achieve Deeper Intimacy

• Mismatched Desire (Low Libido): Navigating differences in desire and finding a mutual balance that satisfies both partners.
• Effective Sexual Communication: Learning to talk openly about sex, needs, boundaries, and fantasies without conflict or shame.
• Infidelity and Betrayal Recovery: Rebuilding trust and redefining intimacy after a relational wound.
• Health Challenges: Adjusting to and integrating sexual changes due to physical or chronic illness.
• Compulsive Sexual Behaviors: Understanding the impact of compulsive behaviors, including pornography use, on the relationship and setting healthy boundaries and compromises.
• Parental Transitions: Maintaining intimacy and sexual connection while navigating the demands of parenthood.

How I Support Individual Sexual Wellness

• Addressing Sexual Dysfunction: Working through psychological factors contributing to symptoms like Erectile Dysfunction (ED), or low desire (often in coordination with medical professionals). It is important to note that low desire is not necessarily a “dysfunction “ or a “problem.”
• Sexual Identity Exploration: Providing a supportive space for exploring, accepting, and integrating your sexual identity and orientation.
• Healing from Trauma: Processing the impact of past sexual trauma on current intimate relationships and function.
• Building Sexual Confidence: Improving body image and self-acceptance to feel more present and comfortable during intimate moments.

The Therapeutic Approach

I am an integrative therapist who draws from multiple evidence-based modalities as needed. I utilize a compassionate and collaborative approach, and in this focus draw primarily from these modalities, among others:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): To identify and shift negative interaction cycles that block emotional closeness and foster secure attachment.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To challenge limiting beliefs, anxieties, and performance pressure surrounding sex and intimacy.
• Mindfulness and Sensate Focus Techniques: Practical exercises to improve present-moment awareness and reduce performance anxiety, making sex pleasurable again.

The goal is to move past fear and avoidance, helping you communicate your deepest needs and desires, and experience greater satisfaction and vulnerability in your relationships.
