Couples Counseling, Marriage Therapy, & Sex Therapy for Couples in Minnesota
I’m Nicolle Dirksen, M.A. (she/her),
Sex and Couples Therapist in Minnesota.
You never thought you’d need a couples therapist.
When you and your partner started dating, things were amazing! You had so much in common, your communication was great, and your sex life was fireworks.
But now, those days feel like ancient history and here you are, struggling to connect. That spark has been replaced with the same old arguments, growing resentment, and you’re feeling more like roommates than partners.
If you're convinced it doesn't have to be this way, you're right.
I help couples just like you identify negative conflict patterns, navigate betrayal and infidelity, and have better sex.
Listen, I understand. Talking about the most important relationship in your life to a total stranger is awkward and vulnerable. I show up as my authentic self so that you feel safe to do the same. I will laugh with you, cuss with you, and cheer you on along the way.
If you're ready to break out of the cycle you've been stuck in and reignite the spark, I'm ready to help.
Reach out for a free 15-minute video consultation so we can meet and figure out a path forward to your best relationship.
I’m excited to meet you!

When someone breaks the trust in your relationship, it can feel like the entire world is crumbling and you’ll never be able to trust again. It may feel like there’s nothing left but hurt and regret. You don’t have to go through it alone.
discernment counseling
If you and your partner are on the brink of divorce or separation and one of you is leaning in to the relationship while the other is leaning out, discernment counseling may be the right choice for you.
