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.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Sexuality is a deeply personal and sometimes complicated part of who we are. In sex therapy, I create a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your desires, challenges, and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with sexual trauma, low libido, navigating intimacy in relationships, or seeking to expand your sexual awareness, I’ll work with you to understand your needs and empower you to reclaim a fulfilling sexual life. My integrative approach can address both the emotional and physical aspects of sexuality to help you feel more confident and connected to yourself and your partner.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Sexual concerns often involve both the mind and body, showing up as tension, anxiety, shame, or disconnection from pleasure. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping individuals explore and express their feelings safely, reconnect with bodily sensations, and cultivate greater intimacy, confidence, and emotional and physical well-being.

The Okanagan is British Columbia's lake-and-vineyard interior region, anchored by Kelowna and including Vernon, Penticton, and a string of lakeside communities that mix agriculture, wine tourism, and tech growth in one of Canada's most popular retirement destinations. The region's mental health picture includes seasonal tourism economy stress, wildfire and smoke-season anxiety after repeated severe fire years, and the isolation some newcomers and retirees feel after relocating. Therapy access centres on Kelowna's growing practitioner community, with Interior Health providing public services and telehealth extending reach across the valley's smaller communities.
