Couples & Sex Therapy
In working with couples for almost 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting them during various stages of their shared lives.
Whether you just moved in together, are newlywed, recently had a baby, have a difficult medical diagnosis, are nurturing dual-careers or are empty nesters, you can learn how to navigate challenges and adjustments over your relationship lifespan.
Sustaining a healthy relationship and sex life requires attention, skill and loving care. Our work together can help you:
- Use healthy communication to resolve conflict
- Stay present to your partner without losing yourself
- Restore intimacy and connection
- Interrupt unhealthy patterns of speech and behavior
- Understand desire, pleasure and sexual intimacy
- Create sex worth wanting
Relationship, couples and sex therapy requires a therapist with a strong therapeutic skill set and a clear understanding of the complexities and nuances surrounding emotional, physical and sexual intimacy. As we work together, you will receive direct yet compassionate guidance from me along with exercises and home practices to help you strengthen meaningful connection.
Relationship counseling and sex therapy is for everyone, whether you are single or partnered. I have found that many clients fully reach their goals or make substantial progress within 10-20 sessions, or in approximately 6 months, with consistent attendance.
More On Sex Therapy
No matter what type of sexual problem you experience, how you think and talk about sex plays a vital role in your ability to enjoy a healthy sex life. Sexuality is so much more than bodies, body parts and/or penetration. It’s a complex blend of influences, expectations, beliefs and behaviors that inform how you view yourself, your partner and the sex you share together.
Sex therapy involves lots of sex education and therapeutic exercises. You will unlearn sexual messages that are flat out harmful so that you can make room for healthy ways to think about sex. From there, you can decide if you want to participate in it, or not.
Many of my clients find sex therapy to be a life-changing experience.
