Relationships shape how we see ourselves and others. When they feel strained, distant, or confusing, it can leave you feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. I work with couples, polycules, and individuals to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and better understand relational patterns. Those same skills—slowing down, listening with intention, and increasing self-awareness—are powerful for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. My approach is warm, conversational, and trauma-informed. I also support people in polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships.
