RElationship Therapy
You don't have to be in crisis to want more.
Maybe you love each other. You communicate reasonably well. Your relationship is fundamentally solid.
And yet, something about your sex life isn't working the way you'd like.
Maybe one of you wants sex more often. Maybe desire has become something you negotiate rather than something you feel. Maybe you've stopped initiating because rejection hurts. Maybe sex has become predictable, pressured, or disconnected from the rest of your relationship.
Or maybe nothing is particularly “wrong”—you simply want more play, erotic energy, curiosity, and pleasure.
I work with queer couples who are fundamentally committed to one another but feel stuck around sex, desire, intimacy, or connection.
You might be navigating:
Different levels of desire
Difficulty initiating or talking about sex
Sex that has become routine or disconnected
Feeling rejected or pressured around sex
Changes in desire over the course of a relationship
Difficulty accessing erotic energy or play
Questions about sexual identity or orientation
Opening a relationship or navigating consensual non-monogamy
Wanting to feel closer emotionally and sexually
You don't need to be on the verge of breaking up to come to couples therapy.
Sometimes the relationship is good—and you want to make it better.
We'll work together to understand the patterns between you, create more safety and honesty around vulnerable conversations, and make room for the kind of intimacy and erotic connection you're actually looking for.
Relationship therapy is for any constellation of relationship (couples/dyads, triads, polycules, families with children, and more) seeking increased ability to see, hear, and deeply understand each other. Therapy can help nourish, heal, or strengthen your connections.
Common areas of focus:
Improving communication
Building skills in conflict management
Increasing connection, vulnerability, and understanding
Increasing intimacy and sexual connection
Defining relationship values and developing a shared vision for the future
Addressing challenges emerging from breaches of trust, trauma, loss, and more
Note: Currently I am only seeing individuals 18 and over.
