THERAPY FOR COUPLES AND MULTIPLE PARTNERS
Relationships can be complicated. Often, people who seek relationship therapy have struggled with their problems for years and are nearing a breaking point. It can take a lot of work but repair and change are possible, whether dealing with specific stressors like acute financial insecurity, infidelity, cohabitation issues, the gender transition of a partner, etc., or more entrenched problems like mismatched communication or attachment styles, or long-standing trust or intimacy issues. I aim to help you enhance communication, understand your relationship patterns, and build empathy to strengthen your connection.
Unlike many therapists, I don't assume that you're seeking therapy to stay together. My services can be just as valuable for those wanting to end relationships in a thoughtful and caring manner, as they are for those starting new relationships or reconfiguring old ones. In our initial sessions, we’ll identify the right goals for your relationship.
I offer therapy for couples, open relationships, polyamory, and other forms of consensual non-monogamy, and I especially welcome queer partnerships where one or more partners are trans or non-binary.
Common reasons couples seek my help include:
Communication issues and attachment style differences
Cohabitation challenges
Sexual difficulties, including pain or arousal issues
Non-monogamy and BDSM/kink dynamics and boundary negotiation
Recovering from affairs and infidelity
Collaborative separation or divorce
