If your sex life feels broken...
You're not alone.
Feeling unwanted or shut out. One partner reaches out while the other withdraws, leaving you both hurt, rejected, and unsure how to reconnect.
​
​
Mismatched desire creates distance. One of you longs for closeness while the other feels pressured or overwhelmed — and both end up feeling misunderstood.
​
​
​
​
More friends than lovers. You care deeply for each other but the passion and spark that once came naturally have faded.
​
​
​
​
Pressure replaces desire. What used to feel safe and easy now feels tense, awkward, or full of unspoken expectations.
​
​
​
​
Intimacy feels unsafe. Past trauma, betrayal, or painful experiences make it hard for your body to relax enough to enjoy closeness.
​
​
Afraid to start again. Rejection and disappointment have made it easier to avoid intimacy than risk more hurt.
You don't have to stay stuck.
​
There's a proven path forward.

Founder of Dickens Marriage & Family Therapy Center.
I know how painful it can feel when the emotional and physical connection in your marriage begins to fade.
You still care about each other, but something feels off.
Maybe it’s been months — or even years — since you’ve felt connected in your sex life.
​​
One of you feels unwanted and alone.
The other feels pressured and ashamed for not wanting more.
​
You both miss how natural it used to feel…
but you don’t know how to get that comfort and desire back.
Over the years, I’ve helped couples just like you rebuild intimacy after it’s been replaced by stress, rejection, or silence.
Some are recovering from betrayal or trauma.
Others have simply grown distant through the busyness and pressures of life.
But when couples are given the safety and guidance they need, connection and desire can return naturally.​
My team and I use research-proven approaches.
Including Gottman Sex Therapy, Emotionally Focused Sex Therapy, and Attachment-Based Intimacy EMDR.
To help couples calm the tension, rebuild safety, and reconnect emotionally and physically.
This isn’t about quick fixes or forcing passion.
It’s about creating the kind of safety where affection, comfort, and desire can grow again — naturally.

Why Our Approach Can Work for Your Relationship
Backed by research & proven with real couples
Our approach helps you experience change every session, not months from now.
Safety First, Not Pressure
True intimacy can’t grow where pressure or tension exists.
We help you both feel emotionally and physically safe — so connection and desire can return naturally instead of through performance or pressure.
Research Proven Results
Our approach combines Gottman Sex Therapy, Emotionally Focused Sex Therapy, and Attachment-Based Intimacy EMDR — methods that help couples rebuild trust, heal shame, and restore closeness that lasts.
Connection that Feels Real Again
You’ll learn how to talk about sex, needs, and emotions in ways that bring you closer — not further apart.
As safety deepens, intimacy stops feeling forced and begins to flow naturally again.
The section below shows you how we are able to help couples in distress change.
