Are you and your partner struggling to find new ways to experience physical intimacy and sexual satisfaction?
Do you and your partner have mismatched sexual desires?
Are you and your partner struggling to feel “in sync” with your sex life?
Are you having performance issues?
Do you not feel emotionally connected anymore?
Or maybe you want to spice up your love life, but your partner isn’t interested.
If sexual issues are preventing true closeness between you and your partner, you may want to consider sex therapy.
How does Sex Therapy work?
As a sex therapist, I focus on both the physical and emotional intimacy between two people in a relationship, then identify the couple’s attitudes about sex and the issue that is creating sexual dissatisfaction. From there, I’ll often recommend specific exercises to refocus the couple’s attention and expectations. We will also address areas of tension in the relationship outside of physical intimacy that may be perpetuating sexual issues between you and your partner.
Specific objectives may include the following:
- Learning to eliminate and relax distractions
- Learning to communicate what you’d like in a positive way
- Learning nonsexual touching techniques
- Increasing or enhancing sexual stimulation
- Minimizing pain during intercourse
- Learning how to redefine the way you and your partner engage in physical intimacy to accommodate health issues or medications that are creating barriers to achieving sexual satisfaction with your partner
- Assessing and evaluating for potential trauma history that could be creating difficulty for one or both partners
If you’d like to explore sex therapy, I want you to know that you aren’t alone in having sexual problems and that I can help. Please contact me today for a free consultation to see if we are a good match.
