Relationships can get stuck in painful cycles where the same arguments happen again and again, even when both people/all partners want things to be different. I help partners slow those patterns down, understand what's happening underneath conflict, and communicate needs in ways that create greater connection and emotional safety. We may work on communication, intimacy, trust, recurring conflict, life transitions, or rebuilding connection after periods of distance.

Relationship struggles aren’t always about a relationship being “bad.” Sometimes people feel disconnected, misunderstood, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to get their needs met. I help individuals and partners explore the patterns underneath these struggles, including attachment, boundaries, communication, identity, and past experiences. Together, we work toward relationships that feel more secure, authentic, connected, and sustainable.

I provide affirming therapy for people practicing or exploring polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and other consensually non-monogamous relationships. Therapy may address jealousy, boundaries, communication agreements, attachment, navigating new partners, changing relationship structures, or repairing trust. I don’t assume monogamy is the goal or that non-monogamy is the problem. We focus on what helps your relationships feel healthy, consensual, secure, and authentic.

When relationships get stuck in conflict or distance, there’s often something deeper happening underneath. Using EFT, I help partners slow down recurring cycles and identify the emotions, attachment needs, and fears driving their reactions. Rather than blaming either partner, we work to understand the cycle as the problem and create new ways of reaching for one another that foster greater emotional safety, responsiveness, and connection.

None of us develops in isolation. Family relationships, cultural expectations, past experiences, and the roles we learned to play can continue shaping how we relate to ourselves and others. I use a systemic perspective to look beyond individual symptoms and explore the patterns and relationships surrounding them. This can help clients understand not only what they’re experiencing, but where those patterns came from and what they’d like to do differently.

You are not the problem—the problem is the problem. Narrative Therapy helps us separate who you are from the struggles, labels, and stories that may have come to define you. Together, we explore where those stories came from, question the ones that no longer fit, and uncover experiences that tell a fuller story about who you are. The goal isn’t for me to rewrite your story for you, but to help you become more intentional about how you want to author what comes next.
