Benedicte Aarestrup, a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), understands that the way individuals were raised and loved greatly influences their sense of self and their interactions in relationships. Her therapeutic approach centers on exploring barriers to forming deep and authentic connections that honor both individuality and togetherness. She specializes in working with couples, whether queer or heteronormative, monogamous or openly committed, who face heartaches related to sexuality, trust, infidelity, and parenting. Benedicte is passionate about supporting clients in their journey to enhance their presence with one another and themselves. With an empathetic and nurturing framework, she utilizes a blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS), sex therapy, and narrative therapies within a culturally sensitive context. The therapeutic environment she fosters is a safe space that encourages mindful risk-taking for growth and meaningful change.
