Relationships & Sexuality

The quality of your intimate relationships has an enormous effect on your overall wellbeing.

When they are strong and satisfying, you tend to feel hopeful, connected, healthy.

When they are uncertain or conflicted, you’re not well.

Some of the experiences I can help you resolve include:

• Attracting the same type of partner or relationship dynamic, again and again.
• Feeling unclear about your essential emotional needs in intimate relationship.
• Having difficulty communicating your feelings and needs effectively.
• Prioritizing the needs of others over your own. Avoiding differences or disagreements at all cost.
• Having a hard time being open, fully yourself, or showing affection in relationships.
• Unable to overcome hurt, mistrust or anger in your relationships.
• Having difficulties in making a long-term commitment.

SEXUALITY, INCLUDING LGBT CONCERNS

Sexual desire and intimacy can be a source of aliveness and connection, or of conflict and confusion. Discussing one’s sexuality with partners, family, and friends can provoke anxiety, frustration, and even shame.

Therapy is a safe place to understand your unique experience of sexuality, and to embrace your individual sexual orientation.

I can help you work through the following:

• Lack of sexual desire.
• Anxiety or uncertainty about sexual orientation.
• Conflicting sexual desires between partners.
• Body-image issues that interfere with sexual expression.
• Sexual impulses or compulsions that cause distress.
