Relationships can get stuck in painful patterns even when both people care deeply about one another. I help partners look beneath recurring conflict to explore emotions, attachment needs, communication, intimacy, trust, and the experiences shaping how they respond to each other. Together, we work toward greater understanding and emotional safety; not deciding who is “right,” but finding ways to feel heard, valued, and connected.

Sometimes relationship struggles show up as conflict; other times they look like distance, uncertainty, resentment, or simply feeling misunderstood. I work with individuals and relationships to explore what's happening beneath the surface, including attachment, boundaries, communication, identity, family patterns, and past experiences. Together, we'll build a deeper understanding of your relationships with others and with yourself.

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.

The stories we carry about ourselves can have a powerful influence on how we experience our lives and relationships—but those stories aren't the entirety of who we are. Narrative Therapy helps us explore how those stories developed, separate people from the problems they're facing, and notice experiences that may tell a fuller story. Rather than rewriting your story for you, I'll help you explore how you'd like to author what comes next.
