Therapy with Couples + Pairs
I am extensively trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), the most empirically validated method for restoring the connection between pairs. I am also a Certified Sex-Therapy-Informed Professional, trained in methods for restoring and improving sexual intimacy.
Couples come to me when they are struggling to navigate…
Miscommunications and/or painful fights
Dissatisfaction with emotional intimacy
Dissatisfaction with their sex-lives
Finances: making/sharing/managing money
Infidelity, affairs, betrayals
Getting engaged or married
Getting separated or divorced
Differences in socializing/friendships
Blending families
Relationships with challenging family members
Parenting decisions
Co-parenting
Household management
Consensual Non-Monogamy: the choices of opening/closing the relationship, or changing the structure or agreements
I help couples…
Get unstuck from repeating patterns of arguing or silent distancing that cause frustration and pain
Make sense of the strong emotions and needs that can surprise both of you in the relationship
Repair current and past relationship injuries (including infidelity + betrayals) and understand how to move forward
Change how you communicate so you can really open up to each other with your true feelings and wishes
Increase feelings of trust and intimacy, playfulness, and fun
Work through challenges in sex and sexuality and improve your sex-life
Learn practices that will allow you to have connected conversations at home without me

I support both heterosexual and queer couples, monogamous couples, and couples who are exploring or practicing non-monogamy. I also support coworkers, roommates, best-friends, siblings, and parents and their children.
