I help couples stop white-knuckling their way through the same fights and finally get under the surface. Whether you're screaming over leftovers or silently scrolling instead of connecting, we unpack the emotional landmines, repair old wounds, and build the kind of communication that doesn’t just sound good in theory—it works when you’re mid-fight, hearts pounding, both of you ready to bolt.

Poly? Open? ENM? CNM? Triads? Quads? Hierarchical? Relationship anarchist? Prefer no label at all? No matter how your relationship is structured, I support you in feeling happier and more satisfied in your relationship(s) by helping you lay the groundwork for the foundation of any solid partnership: trust, open communication, and respect.

Queer life can be magical, messy, and seriously misunderstood. Whether you're navigating your identity, coming out, healing religious trauma, or just trying to build relationships that actually fit your queer, trans, or nonbinary self— this space is made for you. I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and polycules to untangle internalized shame and help you build a life that's thriving on your terms — fierce, free, and unapologetically queer.

You don’t need to call yourself “traumatized” to benefit from trauma-informed therapy. Trauma therapy here isn’t about retelling your worst moments. It’s about building safety in your body, your relationships, and your life today. We untangle survival habits that once protected you but now blow up your life, relationships, or sense of self. I help you learn what safety actually feels like, so you can live from a place that’s grounded—not just reactive. We go slow, but we go deep.

For when love is there, but it’s tangled up in resentment, missed signals, or that same damn fight on loop. I help you slow the chaos, figure out what’s *actually* going on under the surface, and fight in ways that lead somewhere productive—together. Whether you're monogamous, poly, kinky, queer, or just SO tired of talking past each other, we’ll make space for honesty, repair, spicier intimacy, and real connection. I help you learn why silence from your partner sends your body to DEFCON 1.

EFT digs into the gut-level stuff—why that tiny look they give you feels like rejection, why silence slaps you like punishment. We’ll get under the surface content of the fight to the heartbeat underneath: fear, longing, love, panic. Together, we map the cycle you’re stuck in, so you can shift from defensiveness to “Oh, so THAT'S what you need.” EFT helps you unpack the buried feelings and decode why “Hey, are you mad at me?” feels like life or death.

You need a therapist who doesn't ask you to define the word “metamour.” I help polyamorous folks untangle the jealousy spirals, mismatched needs, and boundary breaches that no amount of “rules” have fixed. We build trust, navigate compersion (or not), and stop the blowups over one late-night text. You get the clarity, safety, and emotional tools to build the kind of love that honors all your connections—without burning you out.
