Reconnect. Repair. Grow—Together.
Every relationship faces challenges. Whether you’re caught in recurring arguments, feeling emotionally distant, or struggling with intimacy, couples therapy offers a space to reconnect and grow stronger—together.
Ok, now let's put the ad copy aside and get real a second. One of the most common refrains I hear is "We feel like roommates." You've become interested in repairing your relationship because you realize that there are core issues that never got solved. There is a good chance that your interest in couples counseling started with a catalyst like your child about to leave for college/adulthood, a candid conversation about the infrequency of sex, or the ever-popular fight when one of you brought up the "D" word. For the two of you, the problems may feel larger than life, but as a neutral professional, I promise they are not insurmountable.
Is Your Relationship in Need of Support?
You may be experiencing:
The same unresolved arguments
Loss of trust after betrayal or infidelity
Stress from parenting, finances, or major life changes
Uncertainty about staying together
Sexual dissatisfaction or dysfunction impacting your connection
You're not alone. Every couple encounters difficult seasons—and with the right support, healing and connection are possible.
Addressing Sexual Intimacy & Dysfunction
Sexual issues are one of the most common—and least talked about—challenges in relationships. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore:
Mismatched libidos or desire discrepancies
Painful or unsatisfying sexual experiences
Performance anxiety, erectile dysfunction, or difficulties with arousal
The impact of trauma, shame, or past experiences
Communication barriers around sex and intimacy
Together, we’ll work to rebuild trust, enhance communication, and strengthen both emotional and physical intimacy—at a pace that feels respectful and safe for both partners.
What You Can Expect
We will have our first session and learn about your relationship, your history and the present tense view. You will each fill out a questionnaire providing me additional insight. The first session is by far the most anxiety-producing, but most couples report feeling so relieved to have a plan in place.
From the first session onward, there is a structure to our sessions so you don't have to worry that we are going to unpack your week or rehash fights each week. The chief complaint I hear about previous counseling is that nothing changed. We will work together to improve communication, rebuild emotional and physical intimacy, and most importantly have actionable steps between sessions. ALL couples deserve no less than fulfilling and connected partnerships.
