ADHD and relationships

Divorce and separation
Parenthood and changing family dynamics
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes the first step is simply having a place to talk honestly about what's happening.
Individual Therapy in Bend, OR
Individual therapy can be a space to better understand yourself, your patterns, and the ways you've learned to navigate relationships and the world around you.
Maybe you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Maybe you're successful on the outside but exhausted on the inside. Maybe you're struggling with perfectionism, self-criticism, relationships, identity, or a transition that has left you wondering what comes next.
Therapy can help you slow down enough to notice what's happening beneath the surface and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Therapy that Makes Space for the Whole Person
You don't have to separate your mental health from your relationships, sexuality, identity, or the transitions happening in your life. These parts of us are connected.
Maybe anxiety is affecting your relationship. Maybe relationship stress is affecting your sense of self. Maybe you're navigating a life transition that has changed what you want from your relationships or your life.
Therapy can provide a space to look at those connections rather than treating each concern as though it exists in isolation.
Therapy can offer a place to pause and ask:
What do I actually want?
What patterns am I ready to change?
What kind of relationships do I want to have?
How do I want to feel in my own life?
You don't have to wait until something is "bad enough" to come to therapy.
Therapy can be useful when you're struggling, but it can also be a space for growth, curiosity, and becoming more intentional about the life you're building.
Couples Therapy in Bend
Relationships can be deeply meaningful—and deeply challenging.
You may find yourselves having the same argument over and over. You may feel disconnected, misunderstood, or uncertain about how to reach each other. Sometimes couples know they love each other but have lost a sense of closeness or don't know how to get back to it.
Couples therapy can help you understand the patterns that keep you stuck and create new ways of communicating, connecting, and responding to one another.
Dr. Alex draws from attachment-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, to help couples understand what's happening beneath the conflict and work toward greater security and connection.
Sex & Intimacy Therapy in Bend
Sexuality and intimacy are deeply connected to the rest of our lives. Changes in desire, sexual difficulties, shame, body image, communication, relationship dynamics, or past experiences can all affect how we experience intimacy. Sex therapy provides a space to talk about these experiences openly and without judgment.
You might seek sex & intimacy therapy if you’ve experienced:
Differences in sexual desire
Difficulty communicating about sex
Changes in sexuality or desire over time
Feeling disconnected from your partner
Shame or anxiety around sexuality
Wanting to develop a more satisfying intimate life
You don't have to know exactly what's wrong before reaching out. Sometimes the most helpful place to start is simply being able to talk about what's happening with someone who understands the complexity of sex, relationships, and emotional connection
