You and I were meant to live a life of wholeness. Our lives have a purpose - a purpose that is meant to free us to live whole, content, and direction-filled lives. This design can be marred, and we find ourselves a frail reflection of who we were meant to be. But you can take proactive and productive steps to radiate your authentic self in your life and relationships. I look forward to helping you in this journey of intimacy and relationship wholeness. Sex therapy includes issues such as low desire, sexual pain, sex addiction, affair recovery, sexual trauma, erectile concerns, premature ejaculation, infertility, and postpartum recovery to name a few. Techniques for improvement include specific behavioral interventions, strategic reading, relationship and intimacy enhancement, along with referrals to appropriate professionals. My training has been from a biblical worldview at the Institute for Sexual Wholeness through Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta, Georgia. I have had the privilege of working with some of the finest experts in the field of sex therapy and relationship wholeness. Karen is accepting new clients at this time.
