I work with people individually, and in relationships that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.
My specialty is relationships. My approach is a combination of Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy. The relationships I work with learn to see their partner(s) and connect in a more effective way. I offer relationship therapy to LGBTQ+ people in relationships, I am poly and multiple partner inclusive, sex positive, and kink affirming.
If you're reading this, are you struggling or distressed? I understand that, and want you to know you are not alone. Whatever your unique struggles are, I am willing to help. You can feel free to reach out and engage in a short consultation, or schedule an appointment.
