Family. Lovers.
Partners. Friends.
Many versions of relationships accompany, shape, and situate us in our lives. When they feel supportive and encouraging, they can make our entire experience feel more whole, less lonely, and make more sense. We become ourselves through relationship. This also means that we can become undone through relationship—this is where “couple therapy” can be helpful.
In my work with a variety of relationships, I help partners and families to be truly present with one other, and to navigate challenges and revelations in a skillful and self-aware way, leading to a more harmonious shared experience. Together we may explore past relationships and family-of-origin dynamics to better understand where you’re finding yourselves at present. In our work together, some of our goals might be to cultivate trust, respect, connection, bravery, and communication alongside a deep understanding of your co-created dynamics, arising self awarenesses and new shared awareness. Relationship work can be some of the hardest, and also some of the most rewarding.
We can become undone through relationship and we can become more ourselves through relationship.
Some of my experience involves working with:
- Relationship transition-polyamory/non-monogamy, endings and beginnings
- Intimacy and sex
- Racial, cultural, and gender experiences
- Infidelity, emotional violence, jealousy
- Emotional safety and boundaries
- Financial issues
- Repetitive Patterns and ruts
- Fertility, welcoming a baby, parenting
- Kink and sexual exploration
- Queer, trans, and heterosexual relationship topics
It’s important to note that seeking relationship therapy doesn’t always mean that something is wrong — it can also be a valuable tool for deepening connection and understanding one another— a shared space to plan and dream together. Maintaining your relationship is like growing a beautiful garden, it requires regular attention and care to flourish.
