Couples Therapy in Minnesota
When the same fight keeps happening, the problem is usually deeper than the topic you’re fighting about.
Deepen Connection
Improve Communication
A More Honest Way Through Relationship Conflict
Many couples come to therapy because they feel caught in a cycle. The issue may look like communication, intimacy, parenting, sex, money, trust, or emotional distance. But underneath the surface, couples are often reacting from old fears, protective habits, unmet needs, or patterns that formed long before the current relationship.
In couples therapy, we work to identify the pattern, understand each person’s role in it, and create more direct, honest, and loving ways of relating.
As an RLT-certified couples therapist, I help couples move beyond blame and defensiveness toward accountability, clarity, repair, and deeper connection.
Relationship, Intimacy & Sex Therapy
Intimacy struggles are rarely just about sex. They often involve vulnerability, shame, resentment, trauma, communication, identity, desire, and the ways people have learned to protect themselves from rejection or hurt.
I work with individuals and couples on issues related to intimacy, sexual connection, desire differences, sexual shame, sexual compulsivity, kink, non-monogamy, and LGBTQ+ relationships. My approach is sex-positive, affirming, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment.
