Couples Therapy
You’re feeling incredibly anxious about the state of your relationship.
You’ve swept issues under the rug for a long time in hopes they would resolve themselves later down the line. Instead of resolving, they’ve grown bigger and you’re afraid of being overwhelmed by them.
You have your own anxieties about work, finances, family life, friends, etc. and you’re not feeling supported in your relationship.
I will help you and your partner understand your anxiety on a whole new level as well as provide you with in the moment techniques to lessen, and eventually listen to what your anxiety is trying to tell you.
For anxious millennial couples
Every time you and your partner try to fix the issue, you end up hurting each other more.
You’re trying to share how you feel and your partner immediately gets defensive. You’re left feeling alone and unsupported. You’re feeling stuck and have no idea where to turn next.
I get it and I’m here to help. I will guide you and your partner in learning research-backed communication techniques that allow you both to be heard and understood instead of feeling angry and alone.
For communication issues
For intimacy issues
Your sex life is lacking.
Your bids for connection are often turned down or your partner has stopped trying to initiate. Your busy lives leave little room for intimate connection and you feel awkward discussing your sex life with your partner.
Many of us grow up with deeply shameful messaging around sex. I am a sex-positive clinician that truly loves breaking down the awkward barriers to discussing sex.
I will provide the space to slowly and safely unpack myths using updated sex research and give you and your partner actionable strategies to improve your sex life.
A Trauma Informed Approach
You’re concerned about how your previous overwhelming life experiences may be seeping into your relationship. You don’t want previous patterns to sabotage you like they have in the past.
Maybe you’ve done your own therapy and you’re wanting to bring your insight and understanding to your relationship in a neutral space. That’s where I come in.
I use a non-pathological method called Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to gently walk us through the impacts of trauma that so often heavily impact our closest relationships.
