We are accepting new clients! We are relationship specialists! Patterns in relationships can keep partners unheard, frustrated, exhausted, and alone. It might be frequent fights, or conflict that escalates, or a desire for a deeper connection. I help couples with presentations ranging from moving past affairs and high conflict to premarital checkups. Together we can get to a clearer level of understanding and break out of your pattern. In nourishing a relationship, we build a safe haven of comfort and joy which gives the strength to face life challenges. This powerful force, called love, is the most important thing in this life.

Talking about sex, relationships, and intimacy can be incredibly difficult. Throughout our lives many of us have been confronted with fear and shame-based messages, inaccurate and harmful information, and often problematic ideas regarding sexuality. These experiences can leave us feeling confused or ashamed, ultimately impacting our ability to tap into our full and authentic selves. Exploring these issues in a therapeutic setting with a trained, sex-positive therapist can be life-changing. A sex-positive framework means that I affirm all consensual sexual activity (or lack of sexual activity) as positive, healthy, and pleasurable.

"We cannot undo our old mistakes or their consequences any more than we can erase old wounds that we have both suffered and inflicted, but through the power that memory gives us of thinking, feeling, imagining our way back through time we can at long last finally finish with the past in the sense of removing its power to hurt us and other people and to stunt our growth as human beings." This quote, by Frederick Buechner, speaks to what therapy can unearth. We can't "undo our mistakes" or "erase old wounds." We can live free, healed, courageous lives.

Couples often find themselves stuck in old patterns that leave them feeling disconnected and wondering, "How did we get here?" We are each made up of stories/experiences across our lives; I help you and your loved one weave your stories together to find more joy, love, and care from one another. In therapy, you will rebuild your connection by learning how to communicate honestly and effectively, resolve your old problems once and for all, and connect through meaningful moments of mutual understanding. I'll help you find your way back to one another.

Intimate relationships can be difficult but when we learn how to truly be there for one another we enjoy greater emotional and physical well-being.
