DEVELOP INTIMACY
INCREASE SATISFACTION
COMMUNICATION IN THE BEDROOM WON’T RESOLVE ON ITS OWN
You thought with time the conflict would iron itself out, communication would improve, and your challenges would ease into a more comfortable pattern.
But they haven’t, and you’re still…
✗ Unsure about voicing what feels pleasurable
✗ Battling the challenges of ED
✗ Juggling mismatched desire levels
✗ Hesitating to ask for something different
✗ Stuck in embedded patterns
Research shows that couples and individuals often don't engage in therapy until two years after they've first identified that they need it.
Why wait?
IT’S TIME FOR
GREATER SATISFACTION
TRY SOMETHING NEW
EXPRESS YOUR DESIRES
FEEL DEEPLY CONNECTED
DEBORAH JOHANSON
Did you know there's no relationship "prototype"? Every couple creates a distinct bond, painting a unique portrait of love.
As a sex therapist and intimacy coach, I'm here to guide you on this transformative journey, helping you build a deeply rewarding and meaningful relationship.
With training in EMDR, The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing, I integrate various therapeutic techniques to offer a tailored approach.
Recently, I've delved into the study of tantra – a spiritual approach to sexuality where intimacy becomes an embodied expression of sensuality, pleasure, and profound connection. AND... I discovered a school that teaches tantra in a way that resonates deeply with my core beliefs! I'm on track to finish at the end of 2024.
So, if you’re ready to foster a healthy, pleasurable, and rewarding emotional and sexual connection in your committed relationship and create experiences designed to enhance play, pleasure, and passion, I’m here to guide the way. Book a free consultation call, and let’s start your journey to transformative intimacy.

I don't personally touch clients as it's against the ethical code I follow. However, in working with couples and coaching individuals at times I will invite you into a ritual that may involve touching your partner (ie. putting your hand on their heart) or yourself (ie. putting your hand on your own heart). This is always an invitation and involves your consent... you as the client can choose "yes" or "no" to my invitation depending on how comfortable you are. I will respect your boundaries.
