We use dialogue to communicate with one another on a daily basis.  Discussing dinner, what happened with our days, and the sports game.  It’s a great form of communication for topics like this.  However, when used with our partners around our feelings and experiences with things happening in the relationship it falls short.  One or both are left feeling misunderstood, unseen, unheard, or dismissed. 

Do you avoid conflict in your relationship(s)?

Are you looking to learn how to have effective communication with your partner(s)?

Is sex an issue in the relationship for one or both of you?

Have you ever thought, I want to bring this feeling/thought/concern up with my partner and when I do the conversation will become about them instead.

Do you want to learn how to resolve conflict in your relationship and how to talk about it?

There are lots of ways our communication with our partner(s) collapse. I work with couples to help them slow down, differentiate, depersonalize, and self soothe.

Couples therapy is challenging and profound.  When you and your partner can align on what you are trying to create, there is great success.  You will be learning new ways of showing up. It will feel unnatural at first as most new things do.

As a trained therapist, I work with individuals and couples on issues related to sexual health, sexual shame, desire discrepancy, and overall sexuality. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can openly discuss their concerns and feelings. I help them understand and navigate the complexities of their sexual desires and behaviors, and address any feelings of shame or guilt they may be experiencing. My goal is to help clients achieve a healthy and satisfying sexual life, while respecting their values and boundaries. I believe that everyone has the right to express their sexuality in a way that is fulfilling and respectful to themselves and others. It’s important to remember that there is no ‘normal’ in sexuality, but rather a spectrum of desires and behaviors that are unique to each individual.
