Couples and Sex Therapy
Strengthening connection, repairing trust, and rediscovering intimacy.

​

Relationships are complicated. Whether you’re navigating betrayal, struggling with communication, or feeling disconnected, couples therapy provides a structured space to repair and reconnect. Because intimacy is often part of the picture, I also integrate sex therapy- helping partners talk openly about desire, mismatched libido, or sexual challenges without shame.

How I Help

I draw from approaches that address both relational and sexual dynamics, tailoring therapy to the unique needs of each couple:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): building secure emotional bonds and repairing ruptures

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy: practical tools for communication, conflict resolution, and friendship

  • Relational Life Therapy (RLT): breaking destructive patterns and creating accountability in relationships

  • Sensate Focus and Sex Therapy Techniques: rebuilding intimacy, desire, and comfort with physical closeness

  • Attachment-Based Therapy: understanding how early experiences shape current relationship dynamics

  • Mindfulness and Compassion Practices: bringing calm, presence, and empathy into difficult conversations

 

Areas of Expertise

My work with couples spans both crisis and prevention — helping partners address urgent ruptures as well as strengthen their connection before problems escalate. Areas of focus include:

  • Rebuilding after betrayal, including infidelity, secrecy, or broken trust

  • Sexual health and intimacy, addressing mismatched desire, low libido, or avoidance of physical closeness

  • Communication breakdowns, when conversations spiral into blame, defensiveness, or silence

  • Parenting stressors, including navigating co-parenting, blended families, and intergenerational patterns that strain relationships

  • Early intervention for “small ruptures,” preventing everyday friction from growing into larger problems

  • Identity and intimacy in young couples, supporting partners learning to balance independence, vulnerability, and sexuality in healthy ways

  • Chronic illness and relational impact, helping couples navigate intimacy, caregiving, and shifting roles when health challenges are present

​

What You Can Expect

  • A safe environment to address even the hardest topics (infidelity, sexual struggles, intimacy concerns)

  • Tools for moving from blame or avoidance to understanding and connection

  • Guidance for rebuilding trust and safety after betrayal

  • Support in discussing sexual concerns openly and without judgment

  • Practical strategies for nurturing both emotional closeness and physical intimacy
