Sex Therapy and Couples Counselling in Ottawa and Across Ontario
Let’s talk about sex, life + love.
From “shoulds” to “wants” - let’s lean in, get curious and explore what might be getting in the way of the connection - with self and others - that you actually desire.
Life feels pretty good - except, maybe, this part keeps showing up as a bit of a challenge…
Does everything seem to be going well in life, but sex or your relationship seem to be the missing piece? Maybe it’s causing great stress or anxiety, and you’ve been having trouble managing it all. No matter your concern, you’re ready to get curious, start exploring what might be getting in the way, and take steps toward feeling more connected - with self and others - in a way that feels right for you.
We offer counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples navigating challenges around sex and relationships.
Therapy offers a space to explore these issues with care, helping you make sense of what’s going on and where it might come from. Together, we can work towards developing greater insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, so you can better understand yourself and begin to move toward what truly matters to you.
We’re here to walk alongside you on your journey toward wellness in life, love and intimacy.
Some of the challenges that bring people to this work:
Low or No Sexual Desire
Struggles with Dating and Breakups
Sexual Pain or Dysfunction
Identifying Unhelpful Relationship Patterns
Struggles with Communication + Emotional Intimacy
Preparing for Marriage or Long-Term Relationship
Feeling Broken or Ashamed about Sex
Sexual Anxiety or Dissatisfaction
Whether you're partnered or solo, neurodivergent or neurotypical, just starting out or years into a relationship - it’s not too late to start exploring and working towards what’s important for you.
Our Services
-
Sex therapy isn’t just about fixing problems; it's about understanding your body, your desires, and what has shaped your relationship with sex. Whether you’re dealing with sexual shame, low desire, trauma, or dysfunction, we’ll work together to explore the psychological, emotional, relational, social, and physiological factors that may be impacting your sexual wellness.
-
Relationships can be challenging, but they can also be an excellent source of growth and connection. In couples therapy, we explore communication, intimacy, and the patterns that might be getting in the way of the connection you truly desire.
-
Whether you are single or in a relationship, life can be tough, and leaning in to support can be the first step to learning new ways of dealing with past patterns. We work with you to figure out what’s important to you, what you can change, what you can’t, and ways in which you might start moving towards the life you want to live.
