couples and Multi-relationship + sex therapy
I offer sessions for couples and other relationship configurations. Having a therapist present can help facilitate growth in a partnership that you may be struggling to find at home. Sometimes a therapist works like a translator, bridging the gap between individuals in a partnership in order to cultivate shared empathy and understanding. Together, we will create a safe space where we can explore the struggles in your relationship and set goals for growth. I have experience working with dyads, as well as triadic partnerships. I often receive feedback that partners feel more understood and empathic with each other as a result of relationship therapy.
As a sex therapist, I bring my expertise in navigating conversations about sex and intimacy. Most of us were never taught how to talk about sex or express our desires, even with our most beloved partner(s). I create a relaxed, safe space to have these conversations. I complement sessions by providing at-home exercises and readings to get the most out of therapy.
My style of relationship therapy is influenced by teachings from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Imago Relationship Therapy, and The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy.
