What does it mean to be a man, and more importantly how does that feel? Together we will unlearn the limiting beliefs that stem from our upbringing and societal narratives, and instead learn how to acknowledge, accept, and deal with the full spectrum of emotions we have. Do you feel you are not properly heard in your
relationship
by your
partner
? Do the same troubles keep coming up within your
relationship
? I assist
couples
dealing with conflicts within their
relationship
such as trust, communication, infidelity, and the effects of past traumas surfacing.

I have extensive training working with women and
couples
who are experiencing difficulties communicating what they need, especially in the bedroom.
Have you lost the motivation to be intimate? Does constant thinking make it hard to love yourself, love your body, and allow pleasure into your life on a daily basis. Is your favorite line, "I'm always in my head"? Have you lost connection to pleasure so much that you can't even enjoy the intimacy of sex? ...it's okay, you're not alone. You've spent so much time being available and thinking for everyone else that you've lost sight of the most important person....you. What would life be like if you knew her again?

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
