Couples Therapy Sex Therapy Premarital Counseling
Hi, I’m Josh, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Sex Therapy, dedicated to helping couples in the Cedar Valley create stronger, more connected relationships. Whether you're struggling with communication, intimacy issues, or navigating complex relationship dynamics, my goal is to provide a compassionate, results-oriented approach that fosters lasting change.
Why Choose Evidence-Based Therapy? I believe that the foundation of effective therapy lies in evidence-based techniques. That's why I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—a proven method designed to improve emotional connection and strengthen bonds between partners. EFT is one of the most effective treatments for couples seeking to heal conflict, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy. My specialized training in Sex Therapy also helps couples address sensitive issues surrounding sexual health, desire, and connection in a safe, supportive environment.
In addition to my expertise in couples and sex therapy, I am also certified in Prepare/Enrich, a leading premarital counseling program designed to help couples build a strong foundation before marriage. This evidence-based program offers personalized insights into your relationship, helping you and your partner understand key areas such as communication, conflict resolution, and shared goals. Whether you're preparing for marriage or simply want to strengthen your relationship, Prepare/Enrich equips you with the tools to enhance your connection and ensure long-term success.
Whether you're facing challenges related to communication, sexual intimacy, or simply want to rekindle the spark in your relationship, I'm here to help you navigate these concerns with empathy and expertise.
Your Therapy Journey Each couple I work with is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Through our sessions, you'll learn how to:
Communicate more effectively
Resolve conflicts in a healthy way
Rebuild trust and emotional closeness
Improve intimacy and sexual satisfaction
I know that investing in therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s also one of the most important investments you can make in your relationship's future.
Convenience & Accessibility To make therapy more accessible, I proudly accept Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance, ensuring that quality care is within reach for more couples across the Cedar Valley. I offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy for your convenience.
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship, I’d be honored to guide you. Together, we can help you and your partner reconnect, heal, and grow.
