Couples

Improve sex and intimacy by exploring the elements of your relationship that aren't fulfilling your needs.

Holistic Couples Counseling & Sex Therapy

I work with couples who are navigating challenges related to intimacy, connection, and desire. In our work together, we address common relationship hurdles, which often manifest as:

  • Infrequent or lack of sex, and navigating differing libidos

  • Conflicting attachment styles

  • A history of individual sexual trauma

  • Navigating sexual dysfunction, lack of pleasure, or the natural effects of aging

  • Processing changes in sexuality, gender, or personal identity

Improving physical intimacy almost always begins with identifying and softening the barriers to emotional intimacy. Through targeted psychoeducation, we will explore new ways to connect and communicate, helping you find more ease, trust, excitement, and pleasure in your partnership.

Alignment & Clinical Fit

The couples who thrive in my practice are deeply committed to actively improving their relationships and sex lives. Because couples therapy requires a foundation of emotional stability, I am not the best fit for partnerships currently struggling with severe, unmanaged mental health issues or active substance use. These challenges are often best suited for individual therapy first.

Most of the couples I work with are concurrently or previously enrolled in individual therapy, ensuring they possess the baseline support and coping mechanisms necessary to focus on strengthening the partnership as a whole.

An Inclusive, Affirming Space

I am deeply committed to providing a safe, authentic, and genuinely affirming environment for individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles. I meet every client with zero judgment. Whether you are monogamous or exploring diverse relationship structures like polyamory and ethical non-monogamy (ENM), you will never have to waste energy explaining or defending your identity here. 

My Therapeutic Approach

To give you well-rounded support, I blend the evidence-based teachings of two leading modalities:

  • The Gottman Method: Focuses on concrete clinical assessments and structured interventions. I utilize the Gottmans’ practical tools and visual aids to help couples clearly conceptualize and tackle common relationship pitfalls.

  • Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT): Rooted in Sue Johnson’s work, EFT teaches us to slow down and dive a layer deeper. We will look past the immediate argument to find the core hurt or disconnect beneath it, using empathy and vulnerability to build a secure attachment.

Fees & Logistics

Give your relationship the dedicated attention and effort it deserves. Let’s navigate through the confusion together to build a more loving, secure partnership.

What can I expect out of counseling?

Sessions begin on a weekly basis, although some couples eventually choose to increase or decrease frequency based on their needs. The first session will be spent reviewing your intake questionnaires and setting goals. Whether you have been to couples counseling before, or are new to the practice, my goal is to provide a rewarding experience for you and your partner.

Do you take insurance?

I do not accept health insurance for couples counseling sessions. My focus with couples is centered around sex, pleasure, and deepening emotional understanding. Since a mental health diagnosis is not the primary focus of care, insurance cannot be utilized for payment.

Where are you located?

I offer my services via online video counseling to residents of North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. I can work with clients state-wide!

What’s virtual therapy like?

Sessions take place via HIPAA-compliant, encrypted, secure video technology to ensure your confidentiality. We will be speaking face-to-face via live video. In most cases, video counseling allows for more convenience and comfort for the client. Read more here.

Am I a good fit for therapy?

My clients are couples who are seeking to improve their relationship and experience more ease and pleasure in their sexual connection. My couples are generally happy and looking to grow alongside their partner. I am not the best fit for high-conflict couples or couples in crisis. My free video consultation can help decide if we’re a good fit for each other.
