Megan DeFranza, PhD Couples & Sexuality Counseling

With Level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples therapy — the #1 trusted name in couples counseling — and special training in sex therapy from the Northwest Institute on Intimacy, I help couples transform conflict to communication, sexual frustration to connection and pleasure, loneliness to friendship, teamwork, and love. I have years of experience setting people at ease to talk about difficult topics. My clients and I laugh together often even as we talk about challenging and intimate topics. I believe everyone deserves love, joy, peace, and pleasure and that all of us are capable of creating healthy change in our lives no matter our age, identity, history, or context. Some of my specialties are working with people who struggle with sexuality—particularly those from conservative religious faith traditions. With a commitment to social justice and non-discrimination, I work with adults, couples, and groups 18 years and older.
