Experience connection, find clarity

Often, my clients seek out relationship therapy feeling disconnection - disconnection from their partners, disconnection from themselves, and disconnection from their relationship. You may be feeling like your relationship has reached an impasse - conflicts feel unsolvable, and you’re not sure where to go from here. You may be navigating a major transition in your relationship, and aren’t sure how to find your way back to each other. Or maybe things are going ok, but you’re wanting to experience deeper connection and intimacy. Whatever has brought you to therapy, I’m here to help you and your partner navigate a pathway back to connection.

One of my areas of focus is helping partners navigate evolving and transitioning identities in relationship, including sexual and gender identities. If you are in a relationship that is undergoing this process, I hold a space that is affirming, supportive, and attuned to each of your experiences.

As your therapist, I help you move from disconnection to connection. I invite you to identify your core desires in your relationship and how you want to feel with each other. We gently explore patterns in your relationship and learn how to create a more positive cycle of interaction. Drawing on my training in mindfulness-based, experiential therapy, I also guide you and your partner through interactive exercises so you have new, reparative experiences in session with each other.

This type of therapy fosters deeper connection and healing that includes body, mind and spirit.

You may be wondering whether relationship therapy is for you, or whether you can bring all of yourself into therapy. You may feel like you and your partner don’t fit the mold of the typical “couple.” My practice welcomes you, and I look forward to co-creating a space that fits your unique partnership. I welcome all constellations of relationship, including open and poly. I affirm sexual and gender diversity in my work, and am kink and BDSM-affirming. I believe therapy should be accessible to all minds and bodies, and welcome neurodiversity.

Together, we explore:

 
  • Navigating transitions in gender and sexual identity within yourself and relationships

  • Neurodiversity: unmasking, navigating sensory experiences, and unfolding into your authentic self

  • Deepening connection

  • Strengthening communication

  • Building intimacy and trust

  • Effects of privilege and oppression in relationship

  • Identifying and communicating your wants and needs

  • Developing honest, open communication about sex

Couples Workshops

Sometimes, 50- or 75-minute couples sessions can feel like not enough time to do a deep dive into something important. Other times, you may want more time to process your relationship goals and set a blueprint for how you want to reset, move forward, or redefine your relationship structure. Based on my training in somatic therapy, parts work and Emotion-Focused Therapy, my new workshop offering is a chance for you and your partner(s) to meet with me for 3 hours. Prior to the workshop, we'll chat about your goals, intentions, and collaborate on structure so you get the most out of your experience. At present, I'm offering these workshops via telehealth and outdoors. This offering is for clients who are seeing me for weekly or biweekly therapy.
