Relationships require attention and nurturing.  If you are experiencing communication difficulties, trust issues, sexual imbalance, or are seeking to enhance your connection, relationship counseling can offer a safe and supportive environment.

Therapy can help:

• Improve communication patterns

• Resolve conflicts and develop skills to manage them

• Rebuild trust (after damage from infidelity or dishonesty) 

• Increase feelings of connection

• Manage big changes or external stressors (having a child, getting married, or health challenges) 

• Enrich physical intimacy

• Address and end abusive or dysfunctional behavior 

• Navigate separation

There is no one right way to have an intimate relationship.  Each of you brings a unique set of expectations and needs into the mix. Often the very differences that drew you to your partner become points of tension as your connection develops. Our work involves helping you learn to grow within the relationship without fear of losing yourself or fear of losing the relationship.

I approach relationship work from an emotion-focused perspective, meaning that along with fostering healthy communication and finding strategies for expanding connection and intimacy, I am always helping partners discover and communicate the deeper feelings underlying fights and unwanted patterns. 

I welcome relationships encompassing all gender identities, sexual orientations and relationship structures.
