Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, CCTP
Sex and intimacy can be really hard to talk about, especially because most of us were never taught how to say these things out loud.
Over time, especially in long-term relationships, sex and intimacy can start to shift. What once felt easy or exciting can begin to feel repetitive, disconnected, boring, or even stressful.
Sometimes it shows up as performance anxiety, overthinking, difficulty staying present, finishing earlier than you’d like, not feeling as firm as you want, or feeling disconnected from your body, your partner(s), or even from what you’re doing. Sometimes it’s not knowing how to ask for the sex you actually want, or wondering if something needs to change in the relationship itself.
I work with individuals and couples to reconnect with their sexuality and intimacy in a way that feels more natural, more open, and more aligned with what you want. Whether it’s improving communication, rebuilding connection, exploring desire and arousal, opening the relationship, sharing fantasies, or bringing back that sense of spark, curiosity, and playfulness, we focus on what feels right for you and your relationship.
This is a space where you can talk about sex without shame, pressure, or judgment, and start feeling more confident, more connected, and more aligned with what you really want.

Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
Sexual intimacy refers to the physical and emotional closeness shared between individuals in a sexual relationship, and involves any number of forms of sexual expression. Michelle believes that sex is a foundational aspect of every romantic relationship no matter your chronological age or length of your relationship. People often bring sexual baggage into their current partnerships – what they think sex is supposed to “look like”, what “great sex” should include, and what it means when things aren’t working the way they “should” for one or the other partner. A healthy sexual relationship must include a lot of trust, communication, compassion for yourself and your partner, playfulness and curiosity about what feels good for you (and your partner). Michelle provides a safe, nurturing space for couples to talk about sex. She helps couples to have the conversations necessary for both partners to achieve healthy and thriving sexual intimacy.
