Marriage, couple, and intimate relationships therapy is one of my favorite types of therapies to provide.

I strive to help couples and other relationship formations find their way back to one another. I push partners to connect more deeply with one another, often through helping them understand more about what they need and desire emotionally, sexually, financially, and intellectually. I often facilitate new experiences right in the therapy room, and ask for practice of learned skills in the moment.

Let’s have a different conversation than you would in your own living room.

Couples tell me that my ability to hold space for each of their perspectives, as well as my tendency to “translate” their experiences to one another, help them overcome the barriers they feel in communication and support them in being more vulnerable and assertive in their relationships. Clients have expressed appreciation for my ability to listen, reflect back, and provide challenge and new insight into their experiences. 

Common themes I address in couples therapy

communication and conflict

RECOVERING FROM INFIDELITY AND BETRAYAL

Navigating Neurodivergence and/or a mixed neurotype relationship

sex, SEXUALITY, AND PHYSICAL INTIMACY

VULNERABILITY AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTION

NON-MONOGAMY AND POLYAMORY

GENDER ROLES, Division of Labor, AND financial conflict

New parenthood and RAISING young children TOGETHER

REBUILDING FRIENDSHIP AND CONNECTION

HEALING INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA AND BREAKING FAMILY PATTERNS

I am supportive and affirming of intimate relationships of all monogamous and consensually non-monogamous structures and all genders, as well as couples who experience neurodiversity; interracial and/or intercultural dynamics; and/or who are healing from complex trauma in their childhood. I am a kink- and poly-friendly provider.
