COUPLES

Couples come into therapy for a wide range of reasons. With my specialty treating sex-related concerns and sex/porn addiction, couples often seek my support due to a dissatisfying sex life or after an emotional/sexual betrayal.

Are you or your partner struggling with sex, porn, or infidelity? Have you found yourselves stuck in a cycle of having the same arguments? Do you sometimes think your partner does not “get it” and feel confused about how they processes things? Underneath the conflict, we all want to feel heard, understood, and appreciated by our partner. We want to know that our partner has our back.

I encourage you to begin couples therapy with your partner the first time either one of you considers it. The longer the gap between your first conversation about couples therapy and your first couples therapy session, the more work you will need to do together. It is never too early to go to couples therapy - better to be proactive rather than reactive. Unfortunately, many couples wait until their relationship is hanging on by a thread.

Couples therapy does not mean your relationship is a failure - it is an investment into yourselves and your relationship. It is saying, “We matter and our relationship matters.” What a beautiful gift! I will provide a safe space and structure for you and your partner to communicate more effectively and work towards (re)building intimacy and connection.

I can support you and your partner with:

  • Restoring trust and intimacy

  • Healing from the pain of betrayal

  • Communicating assertively and respectfully

  • Discussing sex with greater comfort and ease

  • Reigniting passionate sex

  • Discrepancy regarding being child free vs. having children

  • Pregnancy and postpartum care

  • Infertility

  • Balancing work, children, and your relationship

  • Co-parenting effectively

  • Co-creating your ideal relationship agreement

  • LGBTQIA+ affirmative care

  • Nontraditional relationships (e.g., polyamory, consensual non-monogamy)

  • Practicing safe BDSM and kink

  • Premarital counseling

  • Conscious uncoupling and therapeutic separation
