Through Couples Therapy Tegan helps her clients improve romantic relationships & resolve interpersonal conflicts. Therapy often includes sessions designed to improve problem solving, build communication skills, connect more intimately & identify life goals & relationship responsibilities. This type of therapy can also help couples decide whether or not they should continue staying together, Tegan can assist with the repair or deconstruction of relationships & refers to this as ‘Coupling’ & ‘Uncoupling’. Depending on the level of distress in the relationship, therapy can be short term (6-8 sessions) or long term (12-20+ sessions). Believing that all of our relationships are influenced by the core connection we have with ourselves, Tegan works with each partner on an individual basis first; this helps her to gain an understanding of who you are on an individual level, so that she can be a support for each of you during couples therapy. To help demystify the process, Tegan has outlined some common issues that indicate that a couple could potentially benefit from Couples Therapy:

• Mismatched libido

• Physical intimacy is gone or deeply diminished

• Emotional intimacy is gone or deeply diminished

• Sexless marriage

• Communication is poor (Unable to express or receive how your partner is feeling)

• Conflict resolution (Frequent & intensive arguments)

• Infidelity

• Trust has been broken

• There is something you want your partner to know, but you've been unable to tell them

• You have gone through something devastating that is changing the way you connect with each other

• You feel stuck in bad patterns

• Something definitely feels wrong, but you're not sure what or why

Through sexual education, Tegan helps clients discover their own bodies, feel empowered with knowledge around sex, intimacy & pleasure. Tegan offers Pleasure Education sessions for Adults & workshops for larger groups wanting to learn in an open, unconditionally accepting environment.
