Gottman Referral Network

About

When sex & intimacy isn’t right in your relationship, the pain and frustration can be excruciating. The longing can become all-consuming.

Sex therapy combined with Gottman method couples counseling can be extremely helpful. It is a powerful process rooted in research. The process can create relief, hope, and sustainable change. Couples come to sex therapy for many reasons. A few of the most common are:

* A gap in sexual desire (libido concerns)
* Different erotic interests
* Issues related to sexual orientation or gender identity
* Sexual functioning or pain
* Infidelity
* Ethical Non-Monogamy
* BDSM, fetishes & kink

I have processes and approaches for each of the above reasons for therapy, and many move.

Couples counseling is a specialty in and of itself which is one of the reasons I like the Gottman Method. My Ph.D., is in human sexuality, which I pair with my Gottman training and my overall education and teaching in Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT).

A couple decades ago, I had the privilege of attending one of the leading post-graduate programs for Marriage & Family Therapy in the country. It was a two year program taking classes, being filmed, and being observed behind the glass. That experience shaped the strength-based, judgment free, way I work with couples.

We may not be able to solve all of the world's problems in our first session, however we can sure get started.
