Has your sex life with your partner become disappointing, difficult, conflicted or painful? Worse, has your sex life evaporated into thin air? Clinical studies have shown that when sex is happening in a long-term relationship - even plain vanilla, ordinary lovemaking - it accounts for a mere 15% of relationship happiness. But when sex is absent, conflicted or disappointing, it accounts for 75% of your relationship unhappiness.
In other words, sex isn't that big a deal when it's happening, but becomes disproportionately important when it isn't. Most sexual dysfunctions are complex bio-psycho-social problems that need sophisticated psychotherapy in order to be treated successfully. Any single-pronged approach is likely to fizzle. So if you are experiencing sexual difficulties - whether with desire, arousal, pain or orgasm, please don't suffer in silence any longer.
If you and your partner have fallen into a vicious cycle of expecting a sexual encounter to end in disappointment while at the same time hoping that "this" time will be different, know that you are not alone.

I enjoyed my first session with Dr Sara.
I liked how she listened and after she listened she was able to speak to my situation accurately and it didn't take her asking me tons of questions.
Dr Sara got right to the point and her feedback for my first session was enlightening and invaluable.
Something I can build upon until my next booster session.

It means so many different things to different people.
In reality, intimacy is so much more than "just sex."
Intimacy involves knowing and being known.
It means knowing someone so well, being so attuned, that at times, words become superfluous.
The burgeoning field of neuroscience now tells us that when people are intimately connected - emotionally, mentally, spiritually and sexually - their brains release neurochemicals that are essential for emotional and physical health and well-being.
Don't settle for a life of "scratch an itch sex"- aspire to create a relationship that is fully alive and deliciously intimate for you and your partner.

When you long for a child of your own but the cradle remains empty, your heart aches.
Every month, each round of treatment can be heartbreaking, cutting to the deepest part of your soul.
All the infertility tests and medical procedures you undergo require that you dissociate just a little from your body, separating your deepest emotions from the act of love.
This process of exposing and "medicalizing" the most intimate aspects of your life can try your patience, strain even the best relationship and destroy your sex life.
