Create the fulfilling relationship you’ve always dreamed of.
Intimacy & sex shouldn't be a burden. But when you look at your calendar and see "Date Night" deep down, you struggle with the conflicting feelings coming up. Yes, the ambiance will be beautiful. And you’re sure the meal will be lovely. And you’ll have a great time talking and laughing with your partner. But the entire time, you’ll dread the end of the night when you get into bed and you’re expected to have sex. You know sex is supposed to be an exciting, enjoyable thing, but for you, it’s anything but. Even sex scenes in movies make you uncomfortable. You feel guilty and inadequate as a partner. If only you had answers.

I value respect, trust and authenticity in our therapeutic relationship.
Do you ever feel like so many things and people need your attention that you want to hide and ignore them all? Do you ever give in to this feeling and stay in bed, unmotivated and overwhelmed? Does your mind feel like it is going at hyper speed and won't let you rest? Do day to day tasks seem unachievable? Are you constantly asking yourself "what's wrong with me?" At some point, because you are a fighter, you will get out of bed and start addressing the things and people that have been piling up. But is there still a voice in the back of your mind already worried about the next time you end up in bed feeling overwhelmed?

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
