Services: Couples Counseling Hetero/Straight/Traditional

Smiling middle-aged couple embracing outdoors.

Intimate relationships are hard!!! And at the same time they provide a perfect opportunity for us to look at ourselves in ways that would not be possible if we did not have a partner mirroring our flaws and imperfections – our human-ness.

There used to be some pretty clear guidelines about being in a traditional male/female relationship. Not so much any more when you’re looking for deeper connection…

Gender roles no longer make the same sense they once did in simpler times. Yet, some of the messages we receive from the current culture would try to have us believe otherwise.

You are not crazy!

Both men and women have things to learn, and things to change.

Balancing our masculine and feminine energies is a practice for both men and women. No longer can we cut off parts of ourselves believing we are one half of a human needing our partner to “complete” us.

If you are looking to:

  • understand each other better;

  • understand yourself better;

  • learn how to really listen so you can understand;

  • discover how to regulate your own emotional state;

  • explore ways to communicate to better your odds at getting what you want;

  • learn how to take care of yourself when you don’t get what you want;

  • discover how to bring intimacy to your sexuality in a way that feels delicious to both of you;

  • find sanctuary in the embrace of your relationship…

You are in the right place.

This is not your typical couples’ counseling.

Think of me as your coach, educating you on how truly intimate relationships work and thrive, supporting you as you learn and practice, nudging you when you get off course, and celebrating your successes along with you.

You won’t need me forever. My goal is to get you on the healthy track of relationality and create new muscle memory for yourself. The old patterns won’t pull you in as often; the old stories won’t be as charged. And when you do get knocked off balance, your new muscles and new skills will help you reorient back to health, wisdom, clarity, and connection with each other again.

Let’s meet.
