Relationship Therapy

Relationships are a massively important part of life. I come to relationship-based therapy (often referred to as Couple Therapy) with an openness to working on whatever relationships feel important enough to you to put in the time and effort to make better. I am LGBTQ+, ENM, and kind-aligned, and welcome all expressions of consenting relationship.

My goal in relationship work is to create a safe container to explore the painful spots in your relationship. This includes identifying what’s not working as well as highlighting and celebrating what is working well. I want to help connect you to the strength of your relationship.

I find it’s really important in this work to focus on dynamics - it’s not what you’re doing or the other is doing (although that is part of it), but how what you’re doing and what the other is doing are playing off of each other. I find that if we can really understand this dance, why it happens and what all the steps are, we can start to enact some change. An important question to ask yourself before starting relationship therapy is “What am I contributing to this dynamic? What might I be willing to change?”

I believe that a relationship ending is not a failure, and the goal of relationship therapy should not be to “stay together” at all costs. Instead, my goal is to help you exist in the kindest and happiest version of this relationship, however that may look.

Types of relationships I work with include:

• Couples

• Polycules

• Parents and Children

• Coworkers

• People preparing for marriage or children

• Chosen families

• Roommates

• Siblings

• Friendships

• People breaking up

• Coparents
