Couples Therapy

I love couples therapy, as each partner brings in their own view of the world and rich history. Understanding unhelpful communication habits can give each person a better understanding of the pain they are avoiding. I use humor and directness to get to the root of the issue, then invite each partner’s point of view in while weaving in curiosity and compassion.

By addressing both partners’ concerns, it is important that each feel heard. From struggles in the bedroom to conflict management, I work strategically with couples to develop a stronger sense of intimacy. Whether you are looking to deepen the relationship or move in a different direction, we engage in exercises and skills to use outside the session. In addition to CSTIP, I am a sex-positive,  ENM, poly, and kink-affirmative therapist.

The Gottman method is my preferred practice in working with couples, designed to improve a couple's friendship, intimacy, and ability to manage conflict.
