Relationship Counseling for The Many Ways That People Love

I work with people in non-traditional relationships—including those who are non-monogamous, polyamorous or kinky. I also support people who have important relationships that defy easy descriptions. People who click the “it’s complicated” button are welcome here.

My relationship counseling clients are sometimes straight and sometimes part of the LGBTQ + community.

In therapy for all of my relationship counseling clients, I help people:

• Notice when strong emotions in the present are tied to earlier life experiences

• Cultivate an ability to speak with one another productively about their experiences

• Learn how to cope when one or more people are dysregulated

• Make space for all people’s feelings in the relationship

• Learn how to speak and listen in order increase understanding

• Increase feelings of security and safety

• Recover from acts or experiences of betrayal

• Become a unified team that supports one another well

• Negotiate areas of true disagreement

People in non-traditional relationships also often want support balancing needs and desires between romantic partners. I help lovers and partners negotiate boundaries, clarify consent, and establish satisfactory agreements. People in non-traditional relationships generally require excellent communication skills. I help those who are interested improve their communication with the goal of all partners experiencing respect, satisfaction, and the level of love and commitment they desire.

I work with with all clients in a non-judgmental, respectful and compassionate manner.
