Couples, Relationship & Sex Therapy

It’s Worth It…

  • Are you feeling unloved and disconnected?
  • Constantly criticized?
  • Maybe you and your partner have the same argument over and over, and nothing gets resolved.
  • Or you’ve given up fighting and function like roommates, feeling more alone when you’re together than when you’re apart.
  • Or you’ve been betrayed, and don’t know if you can trust again.

First — You are not alone. Many people struggle with these issues.

Second — Your pain is very real. The fact is — as humans, we are literally hard-wired to need healthy interdependence. To need connection. When you lose that connection with the most important person in your life, your system is flooded with emotional distress signals. When our core relationships are broken, we feel broken.

Third — Things can change. Couples therapy can transform relationships. Marriage counseling can save marriages. 

Improving your relationships is one of the most powerful ways you can improve your life. I help couples reduce conflict and restore loving connection using a proven therapeutic approach called Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT is an evidence-based approach with a track record for helping couples. The therapy is built on the science of attachment, a well-researched field of study about the basic needs for bonding shared by us all.

Safe, fun, loving connection is the cornerstone of all mental health. If any relationship in your life needs repair, EFT therapy can help.

It’s all about pleasure…

For so many couples, sex turns into a chore to be completed or a minefield to be avoided. I help couples transform sex into an opportunity for pleasure, connection, and fun. If you’re struggling with a specific issue, like desire differences, ED, physical discomfort, or a trauma history, we’ll target our work to the root causes and together find new ways to move from distress and anxiety to pleasure and play.

I am a sex-positive, kink-friendly therapist, and I also support folks who want to explore or strengthen consensually non-monogamous relationships.
