I have completed level 1 and level 2 training in PACT (the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy https://www.thepactinstitute.com/what-is-pact). I strongly believe that PACT can help couples move towards a more secure functioning relationship. It can help you to be a team instead of advisories, help you to work on the problem together instead of seeing each other as the problem.

In PACT sessions you will spend most of the time sitting across from each other, looking at each other. This is so you can notice your partner’s reactions in real time; so you are in the moment together instead of just in your mind.

PACT is an active therapeutic approach; you won’t just tell me about what happened last week and get advice. I will create a space where you can talk with and interact with each other, because that is really what this is all about. I will ask questions and give prompts and exercises that help create a new, more collaborative way of interacting together. It can be uncomfortable to be in the hot seat at times, and it can also be really rewarding and deepen your relationship through new experiential learning.

Exploring sex in couples therapy is very welcomed! I have training working with couples around sex and I can help you explore how to have a sex life that works for both of you.
