Couples struggle with hurt that emerged at various points in their relationship history. Agreements are broken and trust is damaged. I can help you tend to these ruptures to move forward into a new chapter. Our individual hurt from our family of origin also impacts how we relate to our partner(s).

Couples often get stuck in conflict patterns. Maybe you don't feel heard or understood by your partner(s). Perhaps you do or say things you regret in heated moments. I help couples communicate effectively to repair quickly and get back on track.

I work with couples of varying identities across the gender and sexual orientation spectrum. Do you want to work with a provider who really gets it? Sometimes sharing an identity with a provider who is in your community helps us feel understood.

Deciding whether or not to have children, working effectively as coparents, having a multiracial family, relating to in laws and extended family, community and chosen family, creating nontraditional family structures, and more. Family takes many forms.

Perhaps you and your partner come from different backgrounds (class, race, religion, etc.) or have different worldviews and want to understand each other's perspectives. Maybe new identities have emerged since you became a couple, and you want help navigating these conversations in a safe space.

Is an open relationship for you? Are you just starting to open up and stumbling along the way? Or perhaps you need help designing your agreements, struggle with jealousy, or are shifting relational models. I can help. There are so many creative forms relationships can take, and secure attachment is possible in all the flavors.

Perhaps you need help communicating about sex, have different desires, or are impacted by trauma. Couples therapy is a place to dialogue about sexual concerns. Sex is not static; it can take different shapes throughout the course of a relationship or differ with each partner. Talking about it is the first step.

The stress of the outside world impacts our relationship. Perhaps the stress of covid has impacted your relationship, or the stress of the news cycle. You may be navigating new career paths, starting a family, contemplating a move. I can help you navigate these milestones together.
