Couples Therapy

Couples therapy for relationships, intimacy, and sexual connection.

Relationships can become strained for so many reasons. You may feel disconnected, caught in the same arguments, struggling with trust, or unsure how to navigate differences in intimacy and sexual desire.

Couples therapy offers a supportive, non-blaming space to understand the patterns keeping you stuck and begin creating new ways of communicating, connecting, and experiencing intimacy together.

Sometimes the problem isn’t either of you. It’s the cycle you’ve gotten caught in.

One partner reaches for connection while the other pulls away. A conversation turns into the same argument you've had before. Differences in desire begin to create pressure. Initiation feels loaded, and rejection feels personal. Small moments start carrying much bigger meanings.

Over time, both partners can end up feeling misunderstood, hurt, or alone—even when they both care deeply about the relationship.

Couples therapy gives us space to slow these patterns down, understand what each of you is experiencing, and begin creating more emotional and sexual safety, intimacy, and connection.

What We Can Work On

Couples come to therapy for many different reasons. Some of the areas I most commonly support include:

Communication & Conflict

Recurring arguments
Feeling unheard or misunderstood
Pursue-withdraw patterns
Difficulty expressing needs

Relationship Transitions

Stress and life changes
Parenting and family challenges
Changing relationship needs
Strengthening connection over time

Intimacy & Desire

Differences in sexual desire
Initiation and rejection cycles
Emotional or sexual disconnection
Pressure, avoidance, or anxiety around intimacy

Trust & Repair

Infidelity or betrayal
Rebuilding emotional safety
Resentment and unresolved hurt
Repairing after disconnection

When Desire Is Part of the Conversation

Differences in sexual desire are one of the most common concerns I work with in couples therapy. When one partner wants sex more often than the other, couples can become caught in cycles of initiation, rejection, pressure, avoidance, and hurt.

My doctoral work in Clinical Sexology focused specifically on sexual desire differences in relationships and led to the development of Desire Dialogues, a psychoeducational workbook designed to help couples understand desire, communicate more openly, and approach intimacy without treating either partner as the problem.

How I Work With Couples

Therapy that looks at the relationship—not who is “right.”

My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. Rather than identifying one partner as the problem, we'll look together at the patterns that have developed between you and what keeps those patterns going.

We'll work toward understanding each partner's experience, communicating needs more clearly, reducing cycles of pressure and withdrawal, repairing moments of disconnection, and creating more emotional and sexual safety within the relationship.
