Great Couples Counseling in Creedmoor, NC. Therapy to heal relationships.

At Lepage Associates, we believe many issues couples face can be resolved by addressing the issues on two levels.

Couples counseling and sex therapy are specialty areas of mine. I work with people in various stages of relationships, tackling a variety of concerns and dynamics including relational and sexual issues, infidelity, desire changes, lack of excitement, changes in the relationship, and many others.
