Therapy for couples and relationships

You might be here because…

You feel stuck in the same argument

You’re ready to find new ways for you and your partner to communicate.

You’re trying to build trust.

You want to heal and rebuild after an affair or breach of trust

You want to feel heard.

You are exhausted from trying to express your needs but feeling like you’re not being heard

You need support having hard conversations.

You and your partner get stuck when you try to talk about sex, intimacy, or relationship agreements. Or you avoid these conversations altogether.

Therapy can help you express your needs and regain trust.

Therapy for individuals

You might be here because…

You’re exploring your identity.

You want to explore and make sense of who you are.

You’re navigating sex and intimacy challenges.

You are trying to navigate dating, relationships, sex, and intimacy now that you’ve embraced your queer or trans identity.

You’re noticing old patterns.

You are noticing patterns from your past still impacting your life and relationships. 

Therapy can help you feel more confident about your life, decisions, and relationships.

I offer easy online scheduling. If it feels like we might be a good fit, you can schedule your consultation or first session here.

My Approach To Therapy

  • But sometimes our life experiences make it difficult to access these answers or to trust ourselves. This may be because of:

    • Experiences in current or past relationships

    • How others perceive your identity

    • An inner critic

    • Being assigned labels that just don’t fit

    Therapy can help you rebuild trust in yourself and others.

  • I provide insight-oriented, meaning-making, and depth therapy that goes beyond surface level coping skills. I help people turn inwards and support exploration of the deeper layers of their experiences. This includes exploring the present-day impact of past trauma, using parts work to explore inner conflict, and recognizing the unconscious patterns that are showing up in your life.

  • In couples therapy, I use emotionally focused therapy to help couples connect in new ways. I'll guide you in interrupting stuck patterns, expressing core needs safely, and developing communication that strengthens emotional safety. Together, we can slow things down and connect with what's really happening under the surface. Through therapy, you can feel truly and deeply understood.

  • I aim to create a space that affirms and celebrates your identity. As a queer and transgender person myself, you can work with someone who understands both the joys and the challenges.
