REKINDLE THE PASSION IS EASY WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS
Hi. I’m Vielka. A Certified Sex Therapist who knows what you’re going through.
At the beginning, everything was great—including sex. It was fun, spontaneous, and there was a lot of it. But after a couple of years, something changed. I didn’t want to have sex anymore. I grew up in Costa Rica, a catholic country and I had no idea how to fix it.
I started doing it just for my partner, but honestly, it felt like I was doing him a favor. Saying “no” didn’t make him happy, and saying “yes” didn’t make me happy. Sex was no longer enjoyable, and our emotional intimacy began to suffer.
I felt terrible as a partner. I lost desire and didn’t know how to bring it back. It didn’t matter how many toys or lingerie I would buy. Nothing worked. I felt like giving up.
Then I learned that losing desire happens to a lot of couples. This made me feel better, but the problem was still there—and I had no idea how to fix it.
I reached a point where I thought, “I’m okay never having sex again.” Yes, it got that bad. Deep down, I craved the connection, excitement, and aliveness that sex brings, but I had no idea how to make that happen.
But I didn’t give up and I embarked on a journey that led me to become a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).
I discovered the tools I needed, and my intimacy became absolutely AMAZING! Now I know how to create mind-blowing orgasms and keep desire alive over time. I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and helping others transform their sexuality through self-love and healing.

How Couples Sex Therapy Works
Most couples come to me and say...Vielka, we have tried it all. And I say, No, you haven't. I am sure we can discover new ways that actually work to reignite desire and improve communication in an effective and even fun manner.
Couple’s sex therapy goes far beyond just talking about sex. We’ll dive deep into your relationship to explore the emotions affecting your intimacy.
By using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we’ll uncover and address unhelpful patterns to help strengthen your emotional connection, enhance physical attraction, and improve your sexy time. Let’s bring those sparks!
EFT is highly effective—research shows that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and 90% see significant improvement in their relationship.
The benefits of EFT are long-lasting, with many couples maintaining progress 2-3 years after therapy ends. This makes it one of the most trusted and effective approaches for couples facing challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any additional questions? We are here to answer...
It’s common for couples to have mismatched libidos, and it can sometimes create tension or feelings of rejection. In therapy, we’ll work on creating open communication about your desires and needs without making either partner feel guilty.
Sex therapy addresses both the emotional and psychological aspects of ED. Through exercises and communication strategies, we can reduce performance anxiety, improve intimacy, and bring back the joy of connecting sexually without the pressure of expectations.
Effective communication is key to a fulfilling sex life. In therapy, we’ll work on breaking down barriers and teaching you how to express your desires, concerns, and boundaries in a way that fosters mutual understanding and deeper intimacy.
Through a tailored approach using holistic counseling, mindfulness, and open communication, sex therapy helps couples reignite intimacy by addressing underlying emotional or physical barriers. We’ll work together to nurture your connection and rediscover the joy and passion in your relationship.
Exploring non-traditional relationships requires clear communication and mutual respect. Therapy provides a safe space to discuss boundaries, expectations, and any challenges you might face while navigating open relationships or polyamory.
Absolutely. Your privacy is my top priority, and I adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure that everything discussed in our sessions stays confidential. The only exceptions to confidentiality are rare and legally mandated, such as:
- Reports of abuse or neglect involving children, elders, or vulnerable adults.
- Court orders requiring the release of records, usually related to a person’s mental health in a legal case.
- Safety concerns, including when a client expresses thoughts of self-harm, suicide, or intent to harm others.
In all other cases, what we discuss stays between us, so you can feel safe opening up during therapy.
