Hi, I'm Deborah.
You may be looking for help with relationship strain, recurring conflict, betrayal, sexual concerns, desire discrepancy, communication problems, or the quiet sense that something important between you has gone thin. You may feel stuck in an anxious-avoidant pattern, worn down by repeated misunderstandings, or unsure how to rebuild trust, closeness, and desire after hurt.
You may also be dealing with concerns that are harder to talk about openly: sexual shame, performance anxiety, erectile difficulties, orgasm concerns, mismatched desire, differing erotic interests, or uncertainty about how to navigate alternative sexual interests or relationship agreements with honesty and care. Many people come in carrying struggles they have never felt fully comfortable discussing before.
Therapy should offer more than reassurance. It should provide a space that is steady, thoughtful, and capable of addressing both what is happening inside you and what is happening between you and the people closest to you. It should be a place where difficult things can be talked through clearly, where neither partner is reduced to a stereotype, and where growth is supported with warmth, balance, and directness.
At Lionheart Psychotherapy, the work is warm, balanced, and direct, with specialized attention to intimacy, relationships, sexual wellbeing, and the patterns that make connection harder than it needs to be.
​
For individuals
Psychotherapy to address intimacy concerns, sexual difficulties, relationship anxiety, confidence, communication, desire, shame, attachment patterns, betrayal wounds, or habits that keep closeness feeling harder, less secure, or more confusing than it should. This includes space for sexual concerns, and the often-unspoken struggles many clients have never felt comfortable bringing into therapy before.
​
For couples
Psychotherapy for conflict, disconnection, trust rupture, betrayal, anxious-avoidant dynamics, desire discrepancy, communication breakdown, sexual concerns, and the challenge of building a relationship that feels both secure and alive. Therapy can also support couples navigating differences in erotic interests, monogamy agreements, or alternative relationship structures with greater clarity, honesty, and care.
​
This is a safe, thoughtful, and affirming space to set down burdens, understand patterns more clearly, and create meaningful, lasting change. Reaching out for support is a courageous step, and you do not have to sort this out alone.
