Harvest Moon Psychotherapy PLLC
Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy isn't just for romantic partners! Friends, chosen family, roommates, play partners, and Dom/Sub relationships can all benefit from relationship therapy. In relationship therapy, we focus on enhancing connection, resolving conflicts, and building new patterns that foster intimacy and trust. Regardless, if you are here for love, sex, or friendship, I may not be a good fit as your relationship therapist, if there have been instances of physical, sexual, or psychological violence in your relationship.

My Approach
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is grounded in the idea that emotions are central to how we experience ourselves and feel close with others. EFT aims to build secure attachments between partners by working through negative interaction patterns and fostering a deeper, more secure connection. As your therapist, I will help you and your partner(s) identify, explore, and understand emotions. This often brings to light deeper feelings that drive behaviors and interactions. The primary goal in EFT is to foster a relationship where each person feels seen, valued, and emotionally connected--leading to a more fulfilling and resilient partnership.
Sex Therapy provides you and your partner(s) the opportunity to explore concerns related to intimacy, communication, and sexual satisfaction. As your relationship therapist, I will work with you and your partner(s) to identify the underlying factors contributing to your concerns and explore how they affect your relationship. Oftentimes, these factors are related to stress, past trauma, communication breakdowns, health issues, or cultural/religious beliefs. During therapy, you will learn how to have open and honest conversations about sex and intimacy with your partner(s) without feelings of shame and embarrassment. As we work together, I will help you and your partner create practical strategies to reach your goals. I may also offer education about sexual health, anatomy, and desire.
