What is couples/relationship therapy?

Couples/Relationship therapy is a type of partnered therapy that addresses relational distress, as well as sexual concerns, in an affirming space. Although the process can be daunting, I’m here to support you in healing your relationship and finding your way back to a secure emotional connection. Whether you want to stay together or move towards separation, I will provide compassion and guidance as you make an informed decision for yourselves about how to proceed.

You may benefit from couples/relationship therapy if you:

• Feel stuck in recurring arguments

• Struggle to communicate effectively during conflict

• Feel disconnected or emotionally distant

• Want to strengthen trust and intimacy

• Are navigating a rupture in the relationship

• Are experiencing challenges related to sex or physical intimacy

• Have difficulty discussing needs, boundaries, or expectations

• Are considering opening a relationship or exploring non-monogamy

• Are trying to determine whether your current relationship structure aligns with your values

• Are navigating life transitions such as cohabitation, marriage, parenthood, illness, career changes, or caregiving responsibilities

• Want support deepening an already healthy relationship

What does couples/relationship therapy look like?

Couples/Relationship therapy begins with:

• One joint intake session

• One individual session with each partner

• Ongoing joint sessions

In our work together, you can expect:

• Exploration of relationship patterns and cycles

• Improved communication and conflict navigation

• Increased awareness of emotional triggers and attachment needs

• Support identifying and expressing needs, wants, and boundaries

• Conversations about intimacy, sexuality, and connection

• Opportunities to practice new ways of relating both in and outside of session

Is couples/relationship therapy only for couples (two people)?

Not at all! I provide individual sex therapy as well as partnered sex and relationship therapy for partners in all kinds of relationship structures. This includes, but is not limited to, couples, polyamorous constellations, and other consensual partnerships.

Do all partners need to attend every session?

Most ongoing sessions are attended together, though individual sessions may occasionally be incorporated when clinically appropriate.

Can we attend therapy if we're not sure whether we want to stay together?

Yes. Relationship therapy can help partners gain clarity about their needs, values, and goals, whether the goal is strengthening the relationship, restructuring it, or determining next steps.

Will you take sides?

My role is not to determine who is right or wrong. My goal is to understand the relationship system, support each person's experience, and help create opportunities for greater understanding, accountability, and connection.

What is your rate?

$225/50-minute session. I offer a limited amount of sliding scale spots to those in financial need. If you are interested in sliding scale, please reach out to inquire about current availability.
