Is Your Sex Life Non-existent? Is the Fire Lost? Feeling Frustrated and Alone

Life happens and our sex life and relationships are often the first to be tossed the side.

Being a researcher, clinician, and advocate in the field of sexual health for over the last 20 years, I’ve learned that true, authentic, pure intimacy and connection is not only what we all long for, but it is essential for our overall wellness.

It’s a basic human need.

Are you frustrated by any of these:

  • Feeling unsexy and can’t make the first move, to start or maintain a relationship
  • Decreased libido or lower sex drive
  • Mismatched libido with your partner
  • Decreased arousal (e.g. vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction)
  • Pain during or after sex
  • Changes to orgasm
  • Decreased intimacy
  • Problems communicating concerns, leading to silence or avoidance of sex

Are you looking to:

  • Rekindle your sex life
  • Improve your communication with your partner
  • Moving forward after infidelity
  • Explore new avenues of your sexuality
  • Take bold steps in dating
  • Explore new dimensions in your relationship (poly, consensual non monogamy, BDSM)

The Good News Is There’s Many Proven Strategies To Improve Your Sexual Wellbeing

Sex and Couples Therapy by Dr. Catalina

I can sharpen you and/or your partner’s skills to improve your sexual wellbeing by not just talking about it, but taking concrete actions that move your forward to experience sexuality the way you desire. Sex therapy and/or couples therapy can support you and your partner to enhance sexual wellbeing and relationship satisfaction while being respectful of your world views and beliefs using evidence-based techniques.
I believe that everyone’s sexuality is unique and that rather than categories, sexuality is a spectrum. I not only welcome individuals from all sexual orientations and identities, my research was the first to develop a psychosexual resource specifically tailored for same-sex attracted cancer survivors, Rekindle. Building from this work and integrating my health disparities research, I developed and am testing the first psychosexual resource for Latina cancer survivors, Aviva.
It’s not going to be easy, but it probably isn’t already

We can work individually or in couples therapy, whichever is most convenient.

What?
Yes, that’s right. It can be tough to coordinate schedules or get your partner on board with therapy, so it’s ok to come on your own. Research has shown relationship improvements in both individual and couples therapy.
