Is work getting in the way of fixing your sex life? Don't let that be an obstacle! Schedule your free 15-minute evening consult today.
In long-term relationships, it's common to struggle with issues related to sex and intimacy. I specialize in helping couples with the following concerns:
My approach combines short-term couples therapy with sex counseling. I will help you develop a more intimate, emotionally secure relationship with your partner, at your own pace. Sessions are either weekly or bi-weekly and last either 60 or 90-minutes.
Talking about sex can be difficult and many couples are nervous taking the first step. I've got you covered! You're welcome to have a free 15-minute consult via phone or meet virtually, with or without your camera on.
To help support couples navigating this terrain, I’ve developed a blended care program specifically designed for low/no-sex relationships and those with mismatched desire. The blended care program incorporates an online course with live therapy.
Sessions are integrative, and utilize both sex counseling and evidence-based couples therapy. For example, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Dialogue, and The Gottman Method. Mindfulness-based interventions are also applied, when needed.
The online course in sexuality includes videos, audios, mini e-books, short exercises, and reflection questions
You'll learn all about sex, starting with an anatomy lesson. But don't worry, this is not the sex education that you received in school! We'll be focusing on The Pleasure Model of Sex.
You'll learn about why we sometimes avoid sex and how men and women differ a bit when it comes to sexual response and orgasm. We'll also discuss sexual pressure and the orgasm gap.
You'll learn how to expand your sex script by creating a new sex menu that includes novelty and intimacy. We'll go over all the ingredients needed to enhance arousal and improve sexual satisfaction.
You'll learn about erotic templates and the most common types of sexual fantasies. You'll then explore your own template by reflecting on your upbringing, societal influences and your unique desires.
During the couples therapy program you'll learn how to:
Figure out what really caused the emotional disconnect with your partner and work towards making a repair
Practice new communication skills that will help you listen, validate, and empathize with your partner about sex
Discover your unique sexual template in order to reduce sexual shame and make peace with your sexuality
Recognize what inhibits and what ignites your desire, in order to be more open to new sexual experiences
Rediscover your partner and learn what they really desire in order to enhance the quality of sexual experiences together
Resolve blockages that prevent you from prioritizing sex, so that you look forward to sex and no longer see it as a chore
Below describes the therapy process.
Schedule a 15-minute free online consult where we can meet and I can answer any questions you might have. We'll assess your situation and will schedule your intake and follow-up sessions.
Enroll in the free online welcome course to pre-assess your situation and get to know how I work. The course takes between 45-60 minutes to complete and will help you prepare for your intake session.
Your first couples therapy session is a 60-minute intake, where you'll share your story and we'll discuss your therapy goals. We'll get to the heart of the matter to jump-start your journey.
After the intake session, if applicable to your situation, you'll be enrolled in the online course. You’ll gain access to a new module each week, but can finish the course at your own pace.
Once you've had the intake session, we'll meet regularly. After the first five sessions, we'll evaluate your process. Typically, we'll meet less frequently after that, as needed.
