Couples & Relationship Therapy
Relationships can be a source of intimacy, support, growth, and belonging—but they can also become places where we feel disconnected, reactive, lonely, or stuck in painful cycles.
Whether you’re navigating communication difficulties, recurring conflict, intimacy concerns, life transitions, or nontraditional relationship dynamics, therapy can help create greater understanding, honesty, and connection within your relationships.
My work with couples and relationships focuses on helping people communicate more openly, better understand relational patterns, and move through conflict with greater awareness and care.
Who I Work With
I work with couples, partners, and people navigating many different types of relationships, including monogamous and nontraditional relationship structures, LGBTQ+ relationships, polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships, friendships, creative partnerships, and family relationships.
My practice is inclusive, affirming, sex-positive, and kink-aware, creating a space where people can speak openly without fear of judgment or shame.
I work with people from diverse backgrounds and identities who are seeking healthier communication, emotional clarity, and more connected ways of relating.
Common Areas of Focus
Some of the areas I commonly support couples and relationships with include:
- Communication difficulties and recurring conflict
- Emotional disconnection
- Premarital counseling
- Trust, repair, and rebuilding after rupture
- Intimacy and sexuality
- Nontraditional and polyamorous relationships
- Neurodivergence within relationships
- Parenting and co-parenting
- Family and relational stress
- Life transitions and changing relationship dynamics
- Attachment patterns and emotional reactivity
- Boundary setting and communication skills

How I Approach Couples Therapy
My work with couples and relationships is relational, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed. I integrate approaches including somatic therapy, mindfulness, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), and elements of the Gottman Method to help people better understand communication patterns, emotional reactivity, intimacy, and conflict.
Depending on your needs, our work may also include nervous system awareness, parts work, and trauma-focused approaches that support emotional regulation, deeper understanding, and repair within relationships.
I believe therapy works best when people feel safe enough to communicate honestly, take accountability, and explore difficult dynamics without fear of blame or shame.
