Couples Therapy

Because relationships take work, and most of us don’t have a roadmap for how to “make it work”.

Every relationship is unique. Most of us are modeled what relationships look like through our upbringing and what we see in the media. But, what happens when you want to create a relationship that doesn’t look like what you’ve been modeled or what we are taught we are “supposed to” want? A lot of us feel lost and confused when it comes to creating our own roadmap for what our relationships can look like when things just don’t seem to be working.

In couples therapy, I work with you and your partner to help you create the kind of relationship that feels authentic and empowering to you both. We discuss your values, expectations, and boundaries in an open and collaborative environment. We will address your communication styles, how you process your emotions, and what was modeled for each of you from your own families. In our work, we will also discuss what kind of sexual relationship you want to create or reignite. Let’s be real: most of us were never taught how to discuss our sexual health with a partner, so I understand how challenging these conversations can be.

What to Expect:

Session 1: Intake Session

Sessions 2 and 3: Individual Assessment Sessions (one for each partner)

Sessions 4 and beyond: Diving into Couples Treatment

“Love rests on two pillars: surrender and autonomy. Our need for togetherness exists alongside our need for separateness.”
