COUPLES COUNSELING

I am a sex positive therapist, working with people of all relationship types.

Our relationships with romantic partners are often our most sacred, difficult, and rewarding relationships. A healthy relationship is one in which all partners feel safe to share their feelings and as anyone who has been in a relationship knows, this takes hard work from all individuals. It can be very helpful and supportive to work with a counselor if you are facing some difficult times in your relationship or maybe you would just like to improve the status quo that has developed within the relationship.

Communication: 

Many couples feel as though this is the toughest issue they are facing, communication in a relationship is a nuanced issue. As the counselor I will assist you in understanding the wide impact communication in a relationship has and assist you in peeling back the layers to see and understand how communication styles developed and were influenced and how to now move forward. 

Marriage/Relationship Counseling:

It can be difficult at times to let an outsider into likely your most vulnerable relationship. Counseling can be a very supportive and positive experience. I will assist all partners in gaining deeper insight and understanding of everyone’s perspectives while rebuilding the relationship with a solid foundation. We will evaluate patterns of behavior or interaction that are going well as well as those not going so well. I use a combination of evidence based methods for treatment modalities, CBT, DBT, and Gottman techniques. I like to acknowledge that relationship counseling can also be very supportive when the goal might be something other than a rebuilding. It can also be a place to discuss going separate ways.
