When Your Sex Life Is Stagnant…
It is 11 pm, and you are finally in bed.
Your partner slides their hand under the shared blanket to find your flannel pajama-covered thigh – and you… cringe.
You know what they want with that look of longing in their eyes, but you exhaustingly say, “I’m wiped,” “The kids…,” “I haven’t taken a shower or shaved my legs,” “I feel so bloated.”
They turn away, silent and disappointed, and then there are more pillows stacked between you on the king-size bed.
You feel bad. You know that they are a great partner and co-parent, but you cannot find that place of desire for the life of you. Where did it go, and what will happen if you can’t get it back?
You think, “We need some help.”
You find me.
You Need to Dream Again.
Your youngest child has just gotten accepted to the college of their dreams. You think, “Oh god, how did this go by so fast?”
Then, you realize that you and your partner will be alone next year.
“What will we talk about when we’re not talking about the kids? Who am I if I am not a mother and a wife? What happened to my sexuality, my vitality, and my career?
“I know my self-care routine will buy me another 50 years, but what am I going to do with it? Who am I supposed to be… now?”
You want help reconnecting with the part of you that can dream again, that wants to feel sensual, sexual pleasure again. You want to feel empowered.
Where do you start? You know you need help gathering the fractured pieces of yourself together again.
You find me.
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Can Damage Your Relationship.
When you walk into your home at the end of a long exhausting day, your partner is in the foyer glaring at you with tears in their eyes and rage in their voice.
“You left your email open last night on the computer.”
Your heart drops because you remember what you were looking at. They have just spent the entire day going down the rabbit hole of your entire secret life that you were so good at hiding for so long.
They are devastated and confused; you are horrified and afraid that you will lose everything.
How did this seemingly innocent dalliance into watching a little porn to relieve stress turn into totally out-of-control sexual behavior? How did you lose your ability to connect with your flesh and blood partner with whom you share your life?
They say, “You need to get help, or we are DONE!”
You find me.
You find me!
Let’s find ‘the smooth’ in your relationships.
Hi, I’m Shawna.
My biggest strength as a therapist is my warm, supportive, nonjudgmental, and direct style to help you build a deeper connection to yourself and the people you want to be close to in your life.
I understand the shame that comes from the messages and behaviors around sex and how confusing it can be. I also truly believe that healthy and joyous sexual and intimate relationships can change the energy in all parts of your life.
It would be my pleasure to walk with you as you become more clear on your sexual needs to let you live a happier life.
