Most marriages in distress suffer from the degeneration of sexual satisfaction. Usually sexual pleasure improves as the overall relationship improves. Occasionally, however, sex itself is a problem.

Initially my advice to couples is to have sex one day a week at a specific time that day. What this accomplishes is that the relationship for the other six days can be generously affectionate without the touching leading to sex. This advice alone solves a great percentage of sexual difficulties.

Counseling will offer a structured approach to the couple’s sexual behavior. Many aspects of sexual dysfunction are complex and usually require a person see their physician to rule out physical causalities. Homework will be assigned.

Confidentiality and Ethical Codes
There are many laws and codes of ethics that regulate a therapist. It is beyond question and dispute that a therapist protects with the strictest confidence the information shared in the therapeutic setting. During the initial visit a clear declaration of client’s rights are shared.
