Please note, as of September 15, 2023 I have moved to Suite 502, 933 17th Ave. S.W., Calgary AB T2T 5R6. Relationships have different seasons and cycles. Challenges can arise however when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again. These are all signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and created a renewed aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.

Hi, I’m Gio (they/them), and if you're reading this I'm assuming you're looking for a therapist. I hate to break it to you, but the "perfect" therapist doesn't exist. However, we could build a therapeutic relationship together that is the perfect solution to the reasons you're looking for a therapist. You might be feeling anxious, depressed, or scared - but you're also feeling ready for change. Try a free consultation with me and let's see if we'd make a good team to tackle some of those worries together.

I am a sex and intimacy expert with over 15 years of specialty in relationships and sexuality.
Your relationship is great but you struggle in the bedroom. You (or your partner) have no desire anymore. When you do try it, it’s awkward and unfulfilling. Maybe you experience pain, or feel disconnected. You don’t know how to talk about it, and when you try it turns into a fight or disappointment. You are good friends (and parents) but you feel more like roommates than lovers. You can't remember the last time sex was easy and fun. Or maybe it's the other way around, sex is great, but you can't stop fighting. Or maybe it's both. I'd love to help. I love working with couples who feel they are stuck. Let's get you unstuck.

Are you a woman with lower desire than her partner? Are you struggling to reach orgasm? Is sex painful, impossible, or simply not fun or pleasurable? Perhaps you’re worried about the impact of these problems on your relationship, or a satisfying sex life is really important to you. Maybe it feels like you’re missing out on something important that everyone else seems to be enjoying. You’re not sure what's wrong, what’s normal, what to do, or where to get help. Counselling is a safe place to discuss these kinds of concerns. Clients often tell me that they appreciate the nonjudgmental space we create together.

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
