The two of you planned a wonderful life together, but now you're wondering what happened. You feel disconnected. You know that you love one another, but your efforts to connect feel dismissed and misunderstood. You would like to show your care and appreciation without feeling rejected. You just want to communicate your needs without causing a fight. Being vulnerable can feel risky. How do you share your thoughts, fears, and joys in ways that honor your relationship? I offer a place to build a stronger relationship bridge that supports the two of you and your future together. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), the relationship is with my client. I work with couples of all ages and stages, online or in person, and I offer couples therapy in a way that helps you care for and love each other, communicate well, and build a place where every aspect of you, mind, body, heart, and soul, can be enriched by this new way of being together.

Talking about sex and problematic sexual behaviors is often stigmatized by society, family or culture. My main goal is provide a safe place where one can openly discuss sexual concerns and we can work together to determine if they are problematic or to discuss the impact of another's sexual behaviors on you. Too often, it is assumed that therapy around sexual addiction or sexuality is about stopping one's sexual behavior. Here, we work to define your sexuality as an individual. Work may include trauma focused work in order to gain access to underlying concerns, or it may involve sex education to best claim your sexuality. Working with loved ones of sex addicts, including parents, often includes shame reduction and healthy boundary work. Whatever the work is, you are part of the treatment team and the most important part of guiding therapy.
