The Parenthood Paradox: A Shift in Intimacy Dynamics
Becoming a parent introduces a myriad of changes to a relationship, and one of the most common challenges couples face is maintaining a satisfying sexual connection. Numerous studies highlight the shifts in intimacy dynamics that often accompany parenthood.

It is crucial to acknowledge that this shift is a shared experience for many couples and doesn't diminish the importance of intimacy in a relationship. Our sex therapy services are tailored to address these challenges, drawing from the wealth of research in the field.
