Couples and Relationship Therapy

My Specialties

 I specialize in working with sexual desire differences, panic during sex, coming out, gender and sexuality exploration/transition (one or both partners), and more. Often, the couples I work with include at least one partner who is a trauma survivor. Many of the couples I support are coming out of conservative religious backgrounds (think "exvangelicals", deconstruction work, and couples with religious trauma). Other couples are navigating a life crisis, including one partner exploring gender or sexuality. I also provide support to parents of youth coming out as LGBTQIA+.

Therapy Style

As a relationship therapist, I know that you and your partner need more than just space to process; you're here to halt hurtful and stuck patterns in your relationship and find connection, clarity, and healing. If you're looking for a blank-slate couples therapist, I'm probably not her. You're paying for productive, meaningful, supportive sessions, and I'll challenge you and your partner gently but directly so you're able to interrupt these conflicts and engage differently. 

Services Offered

I offer 5o or 75-minute sessions, as well as more "intensive" 2.5 hour sessions for couples therapy. See Payment & Insurance page for information on my fee for therapy sessions.
