Couples Therapy Sessions
Your relationship doesn't have to be broken for you to want more from it.
Long-term relationships have a way of bringing all of us to the places where we're least skilled.
The things we haven't healed. The things we need but don't know how to ask for. The ways we protect ourselves when we're hurt. The differences we don't know how to navigate.
And then there's the beautiful stuff too: desire, play, tenderness, sex, laughter, curiosity, adventure and the feeling of being deeply known by another person.
My work with couples is about learning how to hold all of it.
I'm a Sex & Relationships Therapist with more than eight years of experience helping couples understand their patterns, repair disconnection and build relationships that feel more connected, authentic and alive.
We might work together when...
You keep having the same argument without getting anywhere.
One or both of you feel unseen, unheard or misunderstood.
You've started to feel more like housemates than lovers.
You're struggling to talk about needs, boundaries, sex or desire.
Your libidos or ways of experiencing desire don't seem to match.
Sex has become routine, difficult or something you avoid talking about.
You want to rebuild trust after betrayal or a period of disconnection.
You're navigating jealousy, insecurity or changes in your relationship structure.
You're curious about opening your relationship or exploring consensual non-monogamy.
You're struggling to maintain intimacy through parenthood or another major life transition.
You love each other but don't seem to know how to reach each other anymore.
You're not in crisis at all — you simply want to create a richer, more intentional relationship.
We can also explore erotic connection, fantasy, kink, play, attraction, novelty and the parts of your relationship that can be difficult to talk about anywhere else.
Beyond communication
A lot of relationship advice boils down to communicate better.
Communication matters. But often the argument isn't really about the dishes, the sex, the money or who said what.
There is usually something deeper happening underneath.
My role is to help you see those patterns clearly — without turning either person into the villain — and understand what is happening between you.
Then we work with it.
That might mean learning to regulate when you're triggered, becoming more honest about what you actually need, tolerating difference without experiencing it as rejection, repairing after conflict, or learning how to stay connected while still being fully yourself.
Because a great relationship isn't one where you never hurt each other.
It's one where you develop the capacity to find each other again.
And then there's the fun stuff.
I don't believe a good relationship should be an endless project of fixing problems.
Relationships are also supposed to be pleasurable.
Playful. Sexy. Curious. Surprising. Tender. Alive.
Once there is enough safety and trust, I want couples to have room to explore what makes their relationship feel like theirs — not simply a well-functioning household.
That might mean finding your way back to eroticism, bringing more play into your everyday life, creating rituals of connection, experimenting with novelty, or simply learning how to enjoy each other again.
My approach
My work is collaborative, warm, direct and practical.
I create a space where both people can feel seen without either person being automatically declared “right.”
We'll use conversation, psychological insight, body-based awareness and experiential practices to help you understand not just what is happening, but actually experience something different together.
I'm LGBTQ+ and kink affirming and work with monogamous, open and polyamorous relationships. I also work with many neurodivergent couples.
The goal isn't a perfect relationship.
It's a relationship where you have more choice, more understanding, more capacity to repair, and more ways of finding connection.
And ideally, a relationship that is not only secure enough to feel safe — but alive enough to feel worth being in.
