Sexuality
Almost all couples deal with sexual issues at some point in the course of long-term relationships. Because sexual problems affect how people feel about themselves and each other, their existence can undermine the happiness and psychological safety of the relationship. This reality can also make it challenging for couples to turn sexual problems around on their own. Some of the concerns couples bring to therapy include:
- Can I find greater sexual satisfaction in my relationship?
- How can we better understand and effectively manage differences in desire between us?
- How can I have greater self-confidence in the sexual realm?
- How can I feel stronger desire and more emotional connection to my spouse through sex?
The solution lies not just in getting your body to do what you want it to do, but also in having a relationship that supports healthy sexual functioning.
I wrote my dissertation on sexuality and desire, looking specifically at the obstacles to women’s desire, eroticism and pleasure in long-term relationships. I can help you through relational work and concurrent sex therapy to overcome the sexual challenges you and your partner face. You can find greater embodied pleasure and the deeply-felt satisfaction that comes through a passionate, monogamous relationship.
