Couples and Relationships

Want to feel more connected and fulfilled in your relationship(s)?

Looking to develop better communication and work through conflict to become more secure?

Looking for someone who gets the unique experience of non-traditional, queer, t4t, kinky, or non-monogamous relationship dynamics?
Build the Skills For Lasting Relationships
In the intricate dance of partnership, it's inevitable that disagreement, difference, and difficulty arises. Healthy relationships aren't characterized by the absence of conflict, but rather how it's handled and resolved. In our work together, I'll help you learn new skills and ways of relating that can transform moments of discord into opportunities for growth and connection, becoming essential threads woven into and strengthening the fabric of your unique connection.

You or your partner(s) may have grown up without healthy modeling for the type of relationship you want to have in your adult life, and so you inadvertently continue to play out painful generational patterns. I can help you become more aware of what's driving these patterns, heal the wounds underneath them, and unlearn entrenched barriers to intimacy, understanding, and trust. 

Drawing upon evidence based practices from the Gottman Method, along with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I find satisfaction in helping partners feel safer sharing themselves with one another and building sustainable, resilient connection that feels like sanctuary.

Honoring Your Unique Connection
As a queer transgender femme, I enjoy providing support for relationships that don't follow the typical heteronormative or cisnormative scripts. 

While I welcome working with couples of any gender and orientation, I love being able to create non-judgmental spaces for other marginalized folks who might be skeptical of a therapist's ability to really hear their story and honor the needs of the relationship. I particularly enjoy working with other trans and queer folks, SWs, T4T, and relationships with BDSM dynamics.

It's more than possible to have a relationship that can balance both your own individual becoming and shared dreams and visions.
