At the beginning, everything was greatāincluding sex. It was fun, spontaneous, and there was a lot of it. But after a couple of years, something changed. I didnāt 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 ānoā didnāt make him happy, and saying āyesā didnāt 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 didnāt know how to bring it back. It didnāt 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 thereāand I had no idea how to fix it.
I reached a point where I thought, āIām okay never having sex again.ā 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 didnāt 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. Iām passionate about sharing what Iāve learned and helping others transform their sexuality through self-love and healing.
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. Weāll dive deep into your relationship to explore the emotions affecting your intimacy.
By using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), weāll 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 effectiveāresearch shows that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and 90% see significant improvement in their relationship.Ā
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.
It’s common for couples to have mismatched libidos, and it can sometimes create tension or feelings of rejection. In therapy, weāll 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, weāll 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. Weāll 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.
