One partner wants more sex; the other has shut down. You love each other, but you’re caught in a painful cycle of rejection and withdrawal that feels impossible to resolve alone. I specialize specifically in mismatched desire (desire discrepancy) and have spent years developing frameworks to help couples understand the root causes of this gap. My goal is to help you move through the resentment and unspoken hurt to rebuild a sexual connection that actually works for both of you. If a libido gap is pulling your relationship apart, I provide the clinical and relational structure to get you un-stuck.
Our work is collaborative and direct. I utilize Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and somatic practices to provide real structure for change. Whether navigating a libido gap or infidelity recovery, I offer a clinical, sex-positive environment. I am accepting new clients in Ithaca and via telehealth in NY and VT. Reach out for a free consultation.

One of you wants more sex. The other doesn't. It's painful, confusing, and easy to take personally — but this dynamic is exactly what I specialize in. I help couples understand what's really driving the gap and find their way back to each other.

Our work is collaborative and direct — we identify your specific pattern, what each partner is carrying, and where the real disconnection lives. I draw on Relational Life Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Inner Relationship Focusing based on what each couple needs. I also bring my nurse practitioner background to address physical factors like hormones and pain that traditional therapy can miss.
