If you’re here, there's probably something in your relationship that isn't working— sex has become a source of pain or hurt, connection no longer feels possible, or conversations at home end in shutdowns. Maybe you feel torn between staying and leaving, tangled in patterns of pursuit and withdrawal, or are carrying shame about your body or past. You’re not broken; you’re human.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples (including LGBTQ+ and high-conflict partners), and families who are ready engage in courageous change. Together we’ll slow things down, understand what’s underneath the reactivity or shutdown, and build steadier ways to connect—with yourself and with each other.
I’m Margaret Light, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I provide therapy in both in MN and WI. I blend practical relationship tools from the Gottman Method with the gentle, parts-based healing of Internal Family Systems and a family-systems lens. I am particularly passionate about helping clients navigate sexual desire discrepancies, heal from the effects of out of control sexual behavior (also called sex addiction), and incorporate kink and ethical nonmonogamy into their relationships.
If this resonates, let’s talk—reach out for a brief consult to see whether working together feels right.
