I help you slow things down, name the pattern, and practice the skills that change it. Sex and intimacy are welcome topics when they matter.
Relational therapy focuses on strengthening relationships by starting with personal accountability: how you regulate yourself, understand your own thoughts and emotions, and take responsibility for what you bring into connection. Before communication can truly work, we build the skills to notice stress responses, calm the nervous system, and get clear about what you feel, what you want, and what matters to you.
From there, therapy helps you learn how to express yourself more honestly and effectively, and to listen in a way that actually allows your partner or loved ones to feel heard. We work on reducing reactivity, increasing emotional clarity, and practicing conversations that build understanding rather than defensiveness.
Lasting repair and deeper intimacy don’t come from winning arguments or avoiding conflict, they come from learning how to stay regulated, speaking with clarity, and listening with care. This work creates the foundation for trust, emotional safety, and more meaningful, resilient connection.
Good fit for partners, co-parents, and other important relationships that need care, clarity, or a shift.
The consult is a simple way to confirm fit. Expect to share a bit about the support you are looking for.
After the consult, you book your first appointment and complete paperwork in the SimplePractice private portal. Session one covers intake details, reviews confidentiality, general policies and your priorities.
Early sessions are usually more frequent while we build momentum. We then adjust cadence together based on goals, progress, and current needs.
Therapy may conclude when your goals are met, or continue as an ongoing place to be seen and build skills. We revisit this decision as your needs change.
Do you work with individuals and couples?
Yes. I work with individuals and couples. If you are not sure which format fits, we can talk it through in a free 20 minute consult.
What is the first session like?
We start with what is happening now and what has been repeating. I listen for the pattern, ask focused questions, and help you name what matters most. Before you leave, we choose one clear next step to practice.
Do you offer sex therapy?
Yes. Sex is welcome here. You do not need a perfect reason to bring it up. If it affects connection, self trust, or communication, it belongs in the room.
How long do people usually come for?
It depends on what you are working on and how much support you want. Some people come for a short stretch to stabilize a pattern. Others stay longer to build and maintain new habits. We will check in as we go.
