Couples & Relationship Therapy in CA, FL, ME, CO

Every relationship holds the potential for healing, growth, and deeper connection.

At Mindful Desire, couples therapy offers a safe and compassionate space to explore the patterns between you — the moments of disconnection, the unmet needs, and the longing for closeness that often lies beneath conflict.

Whether you’re navigating communication challenges, trust ruptures, differences in desire, or emotional distance, our work together focuses on repairing connection and restoring safety — within yourself and your relationship.

Through an integrative, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approach, we’ll create space for curiosity, empathy, and new ways of relating that strengthen both intimacy and autonomy.

Couples & Relationship Therapy

I support couples and partners navigating:

Communication breakdowns and recurring conflict
Emotional disconnection or loss of intimacy
Desire discrepancies or mismatched libidos
Rebuilding trust after infidelity or betrayal
Navigating polyamory or open relationship dynamics
Balancing independence and closeness
Repairing attachment wounds and relational trauma
Sexual shame, avoidance, or anxiety
Life transitions and family stressors

Each session is a collaborative exploration of your relational dynamics — helping you both understand the deeper emotional needs and nervous-system responses that shape your patterns.

My Approach

My work draws from attachment theory, somatic awareness, and psychobiological frameworks that honor the complexity of relationships.

Together, we focus on the ways your nervous systems, communication styles, and attachment histories interact — not to assign blame, but to build awareness, safety, and compassion.

I integrate methods including:

PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy)
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)
Mindfulness and somatic awareness
IFS (Internal Family Systems-informed work)
Polyvagal-informed approaches to regulation and connection

Through these frameworks, you’ll learn how to:

De-escalate conflict and communicate more effectively
Rebuild trust and emotional safety
Cultivate empathy and curiosity in moments of tension
Reconnect with desire, intimacy, and shared meaning

What Couples Therapy Might Look Like

Couples sessions are interactive, experiential, and deeply collaborative.
We’ll begin by exploring your unique relationship patterns — what triggers conflict, how you each respond, and what you long for most from one another.

You’ll learn to:

Recognize and soothe your nervous-system responses
Practice mindful communication and repair strategies
Express needs and boundaries with clarity and care
Reconnect with play, intimacy, and shared purpose

Over time, couples therapy becomes less about resolving problems and more about relearning how to feel safe, seen, and connected with one another.
