You Love Each Other.
But You’re Stuck in the Same Pattern.
The arguments.
The shutdown.
The distance.
The tension around sex that no one wants to talk about.
Couples therapy helps you understand the cycle you’re in — and gives you practical tools to step out of it.

WHAT COUPLES THERAPY ACTUALLY DOES
Couples therapy isn’t about choosing sides.
It’s about identifying the pattern that keeps hurting both of you.
Together, we:
Identify your conflict cycle
Understand emotional triggers beneath reactions
Reduce defensiveness and shutdown
Improve communication without escalation
Rebuild emotional safety
You’ll leave sessions with clarity — not just conversation.
This is structured, active work designed to create measurable change.
WHEN INTIMACY OR SEX IS PART OF THE PROBLEM
For many couples, the tension shows up most clearly around sex.
Desire discrepancy.
Avoidance.
Performance anxiety.
Pain.
Resentment.
Feeling rejected — or pressured.
Sexual disconnection rarely exists in isolation. It’s often tied to emotional safety, stress, unresolved conflict, or unspoken expectations.
Because I specialize in sexual health, we can address intimacy directly — not awkwardly, not superficially, and not by pretending it isn’t central.
Sex therapy within couples therapy may include:
Reducing performance pressure
Navigating desire differences
Rebuilding sexual confidence
Addressing sexual pain or avoidance
Repairing intimacy after betrayal
Creating a shared definition of connection
We move at a pace that feels respectful and contained.
