Couples & Sex Therapy

Couple nose to nose, couples and sex therapy

In working with couples for almost 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting them during various stages of their relationship across the lifespan.

I work with couples who share a desire to slow down and explore their relationship in a more embodied, mindful way.

This is not mediation, and it is not a space for determining who is right or wrong.

Instead, we focus on:

  • understanding each partner’s internal experience
  • working with nervous system responses in real time
  • creating space for more awareness, choice, and connection

This work tends to be most supportive for couples who:

  • are able to remain in the room together with a baseline of safety
  • are open to self-reflection and personal responsibility
  • are willing to move at a slower, more experiential pace

It may not be the right fit if:

  • there is ongoing high conflict or volatility
  • one or both partners are seeking the therapist to take sides
  • One or both partners is having an affair or has undisclosed affair history
  • the primary goal is mediation or problem-solving without deeper exploration

If you feel drawn to begin, you’re welcome to schedule an introductory session.

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.
