“We love each other, but somethings off”

It’s like your caught in a riptide. You keep Reaching for Each other but your pulled back to the same stuck place.

You share a life together. You’re running a home, working, maybe raising kids, navigating the day-to-day. Somewhere in between all of this the connection between you has changed. Conversations remain surface-level, emotional closeness feels out of reach, and intimacy has become a source of tension or confusion.

So many couples struggle with intimacy even when there’s love. Desire feels out of reach. Time slips by faster and faster. Communication breaks down. One person pulls away, the other clings tighter. You feel stuck in this same painful cycle over and over.

Sex and intimacy are deeply intertwined with how accessible, responsive, and engaged you feel with one another. When these pieces are missing it can leave both partners feeling alone.

Therapy can help you understand what’s underneath the disconnection, rebuild trust, and restore closeness.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help create a closer sexual bond that allows you to grow together.

  • Get to the root of what’s really going on under the frustration, withdrawal, or tension whether it's mismatched desire, sexual avoidance, past hurt, or unspoken expectations.

  • Restore intimacy in a way that feels safe and authentic for both of you not just about performance or frequency, but about connection, trust, and shared pleasure.

  • Learn how to talk about sex without shutting down or spiraling into conflict. You’ll learn how to share needs and limits in ways that feel respectful, clear, and compassionate.

  • Explore how your past experiences, attachment patterns, or cultural messages may be impacting your sexual connection now and begin to gently shift those dynamics.

  • Validate and explore your sexual identities and desires, together. We can navigate differences in desire, exploring kink, or redefining what intimacy looks like.

  • Rebuild a sense of play, curiosity, and ease. We’ll take sex out of the “pressure zone” and create space for connection that feels joyful, spontaneous, and emotionally safe.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

You can come back to each other and create something deeper and more connected than before.

What we’ll work on

Imagine a life where…

  • You feel turned on just thinking about your partner, not because things are “perfect,” but because you feel emotionally safe, desired, and connected.

  • Sex no longer feels like pressure, rejection, or obligation. It’s something you both genuinely look forward to.

  • You feel more open and curious about sex, because you trust yourself, your partner, and the connection you’re building together.

  • You can name your needs, navigate differences, and talk about sex without shutting down or escalating into conflict.

You don’t have to stay stuck.

Deeper intimacy and sex is possible.
