Connecting Through Mind, Body and Heart

Sexual intimacy is more than sex. It is about closeness, trust, playfulness, and feeling wanted. It is a way many people feel emotionally connected, chosen, and alive in their relationships. When sexual intimacy feels strained or distant, it can bring up confusion, insecurity, or a quiet sense of loss.

You may be here because intimacy has changed. Desire may feel mismatched. Sex may feel pressured, infrequent, or disconnected. You may miss feeling close, playful, or desired, or feel unsure how to talk about intimacy without creating tension or hurt.

When Intimacy Feels Complicated

Sexual intimacy often reflects what is happening emotionally. Stress, resentment, disconnection, past experiences, health changes, parenting, aging, or life transitions can all affect desire and closeness. When emotional safety feels uncertain, it can be hard to stay open, relaxed, or present in intimacy.

From an attachment perspective, this makes sense. Sexual intimacy tends to flourish when people feel emotionally safe, responsive, and connected. When those conditions are disrupted, intimacy often becomes harder, even when love and attraction are still present.

How We Help

We offer a supportive space to explore sexual intimacy with care and respect. In our work together, we focus on understanding what intimacy means to you and what may be getting in the way of feeling close, comfortable, or connected. We slow things down and create space for honest conversation, emotional understanding, and curiosity rather than pressure or performance.

If you come on your own, we help you better understand your relationship to desire, closeness, and your body, and how emotional experiences shape intimacy. If you come with a partner, we help foster conversations and emotional experiences that support trust, safety, and mutual understanding.

Over time, intimacy can begin to feel more natural, connected, and aligned with who you are and what you want.

Our Approach

Our work is rooted in attachment and guided by Emotionally Focused Therapy. We understand sexual intimacy as deeply connected to emotional safety and responsiveness. Rather than focusing on techniques or expectations, we focus on strengthening the emotional bond that allows intimacy to grow. We can help you create an erotic life that feels pleasurable, respectful, and emotionally nourishing.

What Becomes Possible

With support, sexual intimacy can feel less tense and more connected. You may feel more comfortable expressing desire, boundaries, and needs. Intimacy can become a place of warmth, playfulness, and closeness rather than pressure or disconnection. These shifts happen gradually, through emotional openness and trust.

Moving Forward

If sexual intimacy feels confusing, distant, or hard to talk about, you do not have to navigate it alone. Therapy can help you reconnect in ways that feel safe, meaningful, and authentic..
