Couples counseling and sex therapy are specialty areas of mine. I work with people in various stages of relationships, tackling a variety of concerns and dynamics including relational and sexual issues, infidelity, desire changes, lack of excitement, changes in the relationship, and many others. Having an objective third party helps couples find more clarity in their direction forward. I work with each couple to better identify the problematic patterns or behaviors in their relationship as this can be difficult to navigate without an objective third party. I help improve overall emotional and sexual intimacy, and provide clients with strategies they can use throughout their relationship.
