Some couples are looking to be supported in feeling less triggered during conversations and want to learn ways to have more compassionate communication. Some couples may feel disconnected and want to work on ways to increase connection. Sometimes, couples may need to build back trust from scratch and heal from betrayal. No matter what your issue may be, my goal is to share concrete tools so that couples and partners can have a clear view of their relationship, reconnect on a deeper level, feel truly heard, and begin communicating in ways that are respectful, more loving, and supportive. Whether you escalate in your arguments, need to build trust back, feel stuck in unhealthy patterns, or need support with reconnection, I am happy to help.

Some of my clients are hoping to better communicate as parents/coparents and have tools to survive parenthood. Whether you have a little one or a young adult, or even if you are hoping to place better loving boundaries with your in-laws, we are definitely a fit. I also have experience with parents of adoptive children and guardians.

As a therapist, I am compassionate, straightforward, and work systemically, which means that I will aim to understand how everyone plays a part in repeating patterns. It does take two (or more!) to tango. My trauma-informed background allows me to understand how past trauma influences your current relationship; we work on processing and healing the parts of the past that are showing up today. I also work from a relational perspective and use attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method to understand a relationship's emotional and behavioral dynamics and increase intentional communication, intimacy, and emotional regulation. 

I also offer short-term discernment counseling for partners who are not sure whether they want to stay together and need clarity.

I work with ethical non-monogamy, poly relationships, and I am sex and kink positive!
