Margaret Light

Welcome! I'm glad you're here and am excited to meet you. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to build fulfilling and joyful relationships- emotionally, physically, and sexually. Clients find me when they're ready to be done fighting, feeling emotionally distant, & having less than ideal sex. If you feel torn between staying & leaving, are trapped in patterns of pursuit & withdrawal, or are carrying shame about who you are, I can help. Together we can slow things down, understand what’s underneath the reactivity or shutdown, & build steadier ways for you to connect— both with yourself and with your partner. My goal is to create a therapeutic space and relationship that feels safe enough to explore complex feelings, thoughts, histories, and beliefs while also keeping in mind the goal of therapy is to make emotional and behavioral changes within your day to day life. To this end, therapy with me often includes a mix of skill building, emotional exploration and processing, and practicing new patterns of behavior while learning to recognize and change the areas of your life you have influence over. If you choose work with me, we will work collaboratively to create lasting change that benefits you, your relationships, & your life. This kind of therapy takes work & it's so worth it! I have spent years pursuing advanced training in relationship and sex therapy because I believe therapy is a process that takes time but should also be a good use of your time! Also, all that extra training means that means there's nothing you can't talk about with me- sexuality, gender, kink, porn, non-monogamy, painful sex, erection issues, sexually acting out, & more. I am particularly passionate about helping clients navigate discrepancies in sexual desire or interest, recover from out of control sexual behavior including sex and porn addiction, and supporting couples as they incorporate kink or ethical non-monogamy into their relationship. I believe change is possible for everyone, no matter how complex the issue. You can learn more about me and the services I offer at https://www.equilibriumtherapyservices.org/.
