Intimacy-Focused
Couples & Sex Therapy
in Atlanta, GA

stop avoiding intimacy. start enjoying.

I am ready to begin therapy

you care for each other, but you're not on the same page.

any time the topic of sexual intimacy comes up, it seems like you are speaking two different languages.

One spouse wants more sex. The other subconsciously (or consciously) avoids it. Why?

This issue is now extending beyond the bedroom. Conversations are strained or reactive. You find yourselves scrolling your phones more instead of connecting. You can't remember the last time you felt warmth, love, or tenderness.

your emotional intimacy is frail.

you are stressed and overstimulated.

or...your interests in sexual enjoyment are inherently different.

if you keep going like this, you fear you'll
become "roommates" (at best)

it's time to change the story.
rewire the way you do intimacy

in couples and sex therapy, we will do a deep dive into why you
think about intimacy the way you do, and interrupt the patterns
that are sabotaging closeness.

On the other side of this work, you will experience communication that feels light and open. No more walking on eggshells. Busyness will no longer be an excuse that keeps you away from each other.
You'll understand your triggers and how to navigate them as a team. You'll find a flow for intimacy where your body can relax and receive.

you will feel seen, known & loved.

welcome!

You need support in understanding yourself and the challenges you have in your relationship. You may be experiencing heightened anxiety, issues with family, or simply desire to learn how to be more confident sexually.
