I support those in relationships struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership.
Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc. I support people in all relationship configurations including monogamous and non-monogamous.
Relationship counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment. I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect. Partners learn communication and de-escalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners.
I also support non-romantic relationships including parents & adult children, siblings, and close friends. As well as those seeking to consciously uncouple with love, care, and grace.
Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.
