Relationship Therapy
“We tend to grow up learning the 'official script', you know, house, fence 2 1/3 kids, dog, cat, one man, one woman. If I'd known there were more ways to build a family, relationship, or a life when I was a young woman I might have been able to skip two bad marriages. I was in my early 40's when I finally started building a Family that suited me…”
-Rehor & Schiffman, 2022
For most of us, our most charged and stimulating relationships are with our intimate partners. Individuals within relationships may be facing reoccurring challenges causing pain and doubt. You feel stuck and like you have tried it all, and you’re unsure where to go next.
Others might not know how to bring up their needs and want to their partner. Many looking for a safe place to explore what and how they want to communicate with their partner to build the relationship they desire.
-There is Always a Way-
Need Help-I would love to Speak With You.
You may be in a place where:
You want one thing sexually, and your partner wants another
You want to talk about integrating your sexual desires (fetish, kink, fantasies) into your relationship
You haven’t been able to share your needs and wants with our partner out of fear of rejection
You find yourself compromising more than you want
Your relationship dynamic (monogamy, open, poly, BDSM) isn’t what you hoped
You’re having trouble coming out to your partner (non-monogamous, kinky, LGBTQ+, etc.)
Your partner has come out (non-monogamous, kinky, LGBTQ+, etc.) to you
You have been in your relationship for a while and are unhappy
I am committed to helping clients of all relationship diversities, including:
Monogamy
Monogamish
Consensual Non-Monogamy
Open Relationship
Swinging
Polyamory
Relationship Anarchists
BDSM Relationships
Sex Work/Adult Performer Relationships
Together we will help you find the answers you are looking for that are having you feel stuck and disconnected from your loved ones. We work together to learn new ways of communicating your wants and needs, leading to connection. Don’t waste another minute when you could be closer to those you love.
Being unable to express who you are can be one of the most distressing experiences a person can go through. Feeling safe and having a space where you are understood is essential. I can ensure you get the help you need and create the environment to find the relationship you imagined.
-Build The Connections You Crave-
I have helped many individuals find the answers they were looking for, and I will do the same for you. With my training and experience in multiple relationship therapy modalities, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman, and The Developmental Model, your relationship and connections will get the needed attention.
