Couples Therapy
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 precipitous event like your child about to leave for college/adulthood, a candid conversation about the lack of sex, or the ever-popular mid life moment when one of you brought up the "D" word. For the two of you, it feels huge but for a trained therapist, there is no emotion, thus it doesn't feel overwhelming and we can work together.
Is Your Relationship in Need of Support?
You may be experiencing:
The same unresolved arguments over and over
A growing emotional or physical distance
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
Using evidence-based approaches including the Gottman Method and sensate focused exercises along with a sex-positive, trauma-informed framework, sessions focus on:
Improving communication and reducing conflict
Rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy
Addressing sexual dysfunction with care and clarity
Developing new tools for connection and closeness
Setting shared goals for your relationship
All couples—regardless of age, gender, orientation, or relationship structure—deserve fulfilling and connected partnerships.
