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.
