You want a deeper connection with your partner but it feels so awkward to talk about it or create such fights that you both have accepted it and you're now walking on eggshells. You're not even sure they see you or care about your experience anymore. You feel stuck with a person who will never appreciate you or understand you as a person. Sex too is awkward and now feels like a chore. One of you is pushing for it the other avoiding it. You wish that you felt closer to your partner and more attracted to them. If only sex was interesting and pleasurable...but it's not. It's a chore that at times involves painful sex and avoiding.
I am an AASECT certified sex therapist, specializing in couples' work. Identifying what you crave in your relationship and learning how to invite your partner closer to get it, is the work! I'll take you through a process that enables you to take more relational risks such that you can negotiate your sexual relationship with more ease and confidence.
I can help you learn how to be seen, felt and heard by your partner. You are capable of creating a fulfilling and exciting relationship with your person. Learning how to communicate those tender feelings your partner is unaware of, and being able to invite them to share their deepest needs changes everything. Call me, I'd love to help you!

I work with couples who struggle with having a pleasurable sexual relationship. We work on learning to manage the differences between them with empathy, practicing open communication, and negotiating their needs. Most of my clients feel hopeful after a month of working together and end up resolving their problems as they work in therapy. People are always amazed at how quickly things can improve!

I believe taking action is what creates change. I am strongly influenced by Structural Family Therapy where I help clients try a new and positive behavior and THEN they feel better. For some coupled clients they need the Developmental Model's interventions where they learn to tolerate disagreements while remaining calm to better stay in the conversation, deepen understanding and make agreements.
