Sex & Intimacy Therapy
Sexuality and intimacy are integral aspects of human relationships, playing a crucial role in our overall well-being. However, challenges in these areas are common and can stem from various factors such as communication issues, past traumas, cultural influences, or changes in physical health. These challenges may manifest as sexual dysfunction, mismatched desires, emotional distance, or difficulties in connecting with partners.
As a member of AASECT and having focused on Systemic Sex Therapy in my studies and work, my therapy services provide a confidential space for individuals and couples to explore and address these challenges. Whether you're struggling with desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, infidelity, or simply seeking to deepen your emotional bond, I am here to guide you towards solutions that promote growth, understanding, and fulfillment.
Relationship & Couples Therapy
As part of my comprehensive approach to relationship counseling, I integrate the Gottman Method alongside other therapeutic modalities including EFT, IFIO and Attachment Style based work. This allows me to tailor our work together to your unique needs and preferences, ensuring a holistic and personalized experience.
What is the Gottman Method?
The Gottman Method is a scientifically-backed approach to couples therapy and relationship counseling. Grounded in over four decades of research, it offers practical tools and strategies to strengthen communication, resolve conflicts constructively, and build trust and intimacy.
How Does it Work?
At the core of the Gottman Method are the "Sound Relationship House" theory and the "Gottman Seven Principles." These frameworks provide a roadmap for couples to navigate challenges, deepen understanding, and create a solid foundation for lasting love.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples and Individuals
Are you seeking to deepen the emotional connection in your relationship or navigate through personal challenges with more clarity and resilience? Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a transformative approach to healing relationships and fostering individual growth.
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and transforming the emotional dynamics within relationships. Grounded in attachment theory, EFT helps individuals and couples identify patterns of interaction that create distance or conflict, and work towards creating a more secure and intimate bond.
How Does EFT Work for Couples?
In couples therapy, EFT helps partners recognize and express their underlying emotions and attachment needs, fostering a deeper understanding and empathy for each other. Through guided conversations and experiential exercises, couples learn to communicate effectively, repair past hurts, and build a stronger foundation of trust and connection.
How Does EFT Work for Individuals?
For individuals, EFT provides a safe space to explore and process complex emotions, heal from past wounds, and cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion. By understanding how their attachment patterns influence their relationships and behaviors, individuals can experience profound personal growth and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
