Are you feeling disconnected emotionally or sexually from your partner?
Are you and your partner struggling to maintain physical and emotional intimacy?
Do you sometimes question whether something is wrong—with you, your partner, or your sex life in general?
It’s common for couples to experience mismatched desire, leaving one partner feeling frustrated and the other pressured or withdrawn. Perhaps you’re coping with physical concerns such as menopause, illness, erectile dysfunction (ED), early ejaculation, or difficulty reaching orgasm. Or maybe past betrayals—like infidelity—have fractured your trust, making it harder to be vulnerable. You might also be carrying grief, anger, or unresolved hurt from past arguments that block your ability to connect.
You may long to feel close again—to share pleasure freely and reconnect emotionally and physically. But right now, that connection may feel out of reach.
​
When sex becomes a source of tension or avoidance, it often affects more than just the bedroom. The resulting distance can turn affection into resentment, and emotional withdrawal becomes a way of coping.
Many people pour their energy into work, friendships, or distractions, or start seeking fulfillment outside the relationship—emotionally or physically.
Sexual difficulties are much more common than you think
You are not alone! Struggles with sex and intimacy affect millions of couples. Studies show that a significant portion of partnered adults in the U.S. feel dissatisfied with their sex lives. Often, our early experiences and cultural messaging about sex leave us feeling confused or ashamed. Media depictions of intimacy rarely reflect real relationships. And when we seek advice from friends or online forums, it’s easy to walk away feeling more isolated.
​
Past trauma, health issues, or lack of open communication can all make intimacy difficult. But you are not broken.
Your relationship isn’t beyond repair.
You simply may not have had the tools—or the safe space—to work through these challenges.
Sex Therapy can help you reconnect, rebuild, and rekindle
You and your partner can rediscover emotional closeness and sexual fulfillment. In sex therapy, you’ll have a safe, supportive space to talk openly about your needs, desires, and concerns—without fear of judgment. I’ll help you create a healthier dialogue around intimacy, whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to reignite a spark.
Together, we’ll unpack the stories and beliefs you’ve carried about sex—what it “should” look like versus what truly works for you.
We’ll identify what’s getting in the way, and explore what intimacy and arousal mean for each of you, individually and as a couple.
Using evidence-based therapeutic models and a personalized approach, we will guide you through meaningful conversations, exercises, and tools that help you:
​
-
Understand what sex and intimacy mean to you and your partner
-
Rebuild trust, especially after a breach or long-standing disconnect
-
Explore new ways to experience pleasure and connection
-
Discover how to talk about sex without shame or discomfort
​​
Whether we’re discussing emotional intimacy or physical connection—including anatomy, desire, techniques, or tools—you’ll be met with respect, clarity, and encouragement.
Our goal is to help you feel seen, safe, and empowered to explore a more satisfying intimate life.
"Can tele-therapy online really be effective?"
We will be honest with you. We were not sure either. Once the pandemic hit in 2020, we transitioned all our clients to virtual. Since then, we have years of data showing us that for sex and couples therapy, virtual therapy has been as effective IF NOT MORE effective than in person.
Let's look at the advantages of online vs in person
​
-
It is easier to get both partners to attend all/most sessions
-
Clients feel more relaxed and comfortable sharing private and personal details from the comfort of their own homes-- using pets, support pillows, blankets, favorite furniture, etc to feel comforted during sessions.
-
The privacy is amazing. No more waiting rooms.
-
The convenience of tele-therapy means they can attend sessions from anywhere, whether they are at home, in the office, in their car, or on a work trip. This means that sessions are more consistent, which means quicker results.
​​
We have found that because of these reasons, we actually have found virtual therapy for sex therapy to be MORE effective. Our data from the past 10+ years shows that it takes less time in terms of months to reach our goals due to the factors listed above.
We hope you will give it a try!
"What if it's too late?"
It's never to late to improve your connection.
Even if it’s been years since you last felt close, positive change is possible. Some of our clients have never enjoyed their intimate relationship with their partner. We offer a judgment-free space to talk honestly, at your own pace.
You don’t have to reveal everything in your first session. Many clients tell us they’re surprised by how relieved they feel just to start the conversation.
"What if my partner doesn't want to attend?"
If your partner isn’t ready, you can still begin.
While it’s ideal to attend therapy together, you can still do powerful work individually. Exploring your own sexuality, identifying your needs, and learning to communicate more effectively can all spark change—sometimes even inspiring your partner to join you down the line.
You Can Have a fulfilling, connected relationship
No matter what your starting point is, with the right guidance and support, healing and growth are possible. We offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you explore your options, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit.
You deserve intimacy that feels safe, passionate, and meaningful. Let’s begin the journey together.

"I am 31 and still single. No matter what relationship I was in, I ended up with "the bad guy." I couldn't figure out why I was so "unlucky" and always ended up with men who treated me badly and did not appreciate me. Working with Ivy was an eye-opening experience. She helped me pick up on my dysfunctional thought patterns, my poor choices, and what I was doing that was compromising my happiness. Not only that, but I got to understand that my low self-esteem and history of abuse/neglect from my father was leading to this pattern. I have gained awareness and confidence and am now in a relationship with a 'good guy.'"

"When I first came to see Rivka, I had not been able to have intercourse in over a year. Being only 22 years old, I knew that this did not seem normal. My college health center sent me to see her for therapy. Through treatment of my generalized anxiety as well as my anxiety about sex and my body, I was able to successfully achieve intercourse (and pleasure along with it!) in a few short months. She was warm, caring, and easy to talk to. This was well worth the investment! I cannot thank her enough for helping me with such an embarrassing and anxiety-provoking problem.
