Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Intimacy is more than physical—it’s about emotional connection, trust, and feeling safe with one another. When couples struggle with mismatched desire, avoidance, or sexual dysfunction, it can feel deeply isolating. In therapy, I help partners talk openly about intimacy without shame, understand each other’s needs, and create a fulfilling sexual connection that strengthens your bond.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Sexuality can be one of the most intimate expressions of who we are, which is also why sex can become so complicated. Difficulties with sex often carry emotional meanings that are not immediately obvious and may be connected to how we have learned to experience closeness, vulnerability, or our own bodies. I offer a sex-positive space where sexuality can be spoken about openly and without judgment. The work is less about deciding what is “normal” and more about understanding what your sexual life means to you, so that desire and intimacy can feel less constrained by fear or shame.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Concerns about sex are often difficult to talk about, even in close relationships. I work with clients to address issues like desire, performance, or communication in ways that reduce shame and create healthier intimacy.

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Concerns around intimacy, desire, or sexual functioning can be difficult to talk about, but they are more common than people often realize. These issues can affect both your personal wellbeing and your relationships. In therapy we will explore these concerns in a comfortable and respectful space, improve communication, and work toward a healthier and more satisfying connection. The goal is to help you feel more confident and at ease in this part of your life.
