Therapy for Relationships
Relationship therapy is a great resource for supporting with communication, conflict management, connection, and intimacy.
What if the therapist “picks sides” during relationship therapy?
A common misconception is that the couples therapist will “pick sides.” Instead, picture the therapist as the camera lens that can “zoom out to a birds eye view” and offer perspective on the patterns and behaviors that may be difficult to identify when you and your partner(s) are in the trenches.
How do you know who the client is in therapy for relationships?
In individual therapy, you are the client. In relationship therapy, Marriage & Family Therapists are trained to view the “relationship” as the client.
Sex Therapy
Talking about sex and intimacy can feel complicated and intimidating to talk about. There can also be a complex history, depending on what early beliefs and values were taught around sex and intimate connection. My goal is to create a safe and sex-positive space for clients to explore their relationship with sexual intimacy.
I support clients with developing new vocabulary and language to make communication about intimate connection feel more accessible. I believe that it is so important to normalize communicating with your sexual partner(s) about your interests and desires. How else would our partner(s) know what makes us feel most intimately connected to them?
Let’s debunk the myth that “talking about sex and intimacy will ruin the mood.” Oftentimes, talking about sex has a positive impact on intimacy by creating space for curiosity and playfulness around intimate connection with partners. Being able to identify your desires and boundaries with your sexual partner(s) creates a sense of safety, and allows for all partners to be more present during intimate connection.
