Couples
Sometimes we have past experiences that scare us, make us more wary, or cause us to feel insecure, and those experiences can prevent us from having fulfilling partnerships. Emotionally focused therapy helps slow down that pattern between yourself and your partner(s) to increase understanding, and also increase the feeling of connection and safety.
I work with couples that suffer from emotional disconnection, frequent or escalated fighting, avoidance, grief, addictive behaviors, infidelity, and difficulties being physically intimate. Couples therapy can allow partners to have important conversations about how they envision their relationship while gaining more clarity about each one's individual and relational needs.
I am a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT CST) and currently belong to the Portland EFT community. I have extensive training in sex therapy and offer sex therapy to both individuals and couples.
