Therapy for couples, individuals and all relational connections
Relationship Therapy
Couples therapy is the heart of my practice. People often reach out when they are at one of two extremes: feeling as if a crisis is upon them and their relationship, or that they or a partner has begun to drift away, with the resulting sense of painful lost connection. I can help you successful address, and navigate these extremely distressing situations. Other situations also steer couples to counseling, and we can also work together to resolve these as well. Examples include blended families, family planning differences, pre-marital counseling, work/life balance, sex struggles, relationship discernment, co-parenting, inter-generational family communication, etc, are just a few of the other reasons people contact me.
Couples Counseling / Couples Therapy
Our partner can be the person we need most, and at the same time be seen as our biggest obstacle. Life can be complicated. Learning to expand our togetherness in new ways can be empowering even more than affirming.

Marriage Counseling
Whether long married, newly remarried in a blended family, a few years into your relationship, or seeking pre-marital counseling, couples therapy can help your relationship thrive; even when it feels as though it is stumbling at present.

Inclusive Relationship Counseling / Consensual Non-Monogamy Counseling
Sometimes life is more complicated and its hard to know where to turn to seek non-judgemental understanding. Consensual non-monogamy is a broad universe of individual solutions. Let's explore what makes you unique - and all the ways your issues may also be of universal concern. Finding ways toward agreement can reduce stress and open understanding.
