How you were raised and loved is essential to your experience of self and the way you show up in relationships. I believe, at the heart of therapy there is a journey to explore what gets in the way of nurturing deep and authentic relationships that support both togetherness and individuality. I work with couples (queer/hetero, monogamous/open) who experience heartaches around sexuality, trust, infidelity, parenting – as well as couples simply looking for support with growing deeper and being more present with each other and themselves.
