couples therapy

inclusive, affirming couples therapy for all relationship styles and identities.

& adhd

ADHD can affect communication, intimacy, and daily routines in ways that feel confusing or overwhelming. In therapy, we’ll honor each partner’s neurotype, reduce shame, and create concrete strategies so your relationship feels safer, clearer, and more connected.

& ocd

OCD can impact partnerships through rigid cycles or a constant need for reassurance. We work together to understand these patterns without judgment, providing psychoeducation to stop unintentional reinforcement of symptoms. By shifting the focus from the individual to the relationship dynamic, we reduce the burden of OCD and build a supportive environment that makes space for both partners' needs.

& autism

Differences in sensory needs and communication styles can lead to painful misunderstandings. We bridge the gap between distinct neurotypes, moving away from blame and toward mutual respect. By fostering a safe, affirming environment, we ensure both partners feel deeply understood, making space for each other’s unique needs without the friction.

& gender

Navigating your gender identity can be both vulnerable and transformative. While this path brings self-discovery, it may also present new dynamics within your partnership. Whether you seek to support a loved one or are navigating your own transition within a relationship, I provide a safe, affirming space for you both.

& addiction

Addiction is never a solitary struggle; it functions as a family disease that reshapes the entire landscape of a partnership. When substance use or compulsive behaviors take up space in your home, they often leave both partners feeling isolated and drained. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where we can explore how these patterns have affected your trust and intimacy. Together, we will work toward collective healing and restoration.

therapy approaches

relational life therapy

Relational Life Therapy (RLT) can be especially helpful for couples who feel stuck in the same painful patterns. It focuses on helping each partner understand how their history, beliefs, and nervous system responses show up in the relationship today. Together, we slow things down, name what’s really happening between you, and practice new ways of speaking and listening that are grounded in respect and accountability. Over time, RLT can support you in building more honest conversations, repairing trust after conflict, and creating a relationship where both partners feel seen, valued, and safe enough to grow.

the gottman method

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on strengthening friendship, improving communication, and managing conflict in healthier ways. In our work together, we’ll use practical tools to help you notice and shift negative interaction patterns, increase appreciation and affection, and build a stronger sense of shared meaning. This approach can be especially helpful if you feel like you’re having the same arguments over and over, struggling to stay connected, or wanting a clearer roadmap for how to repair after conflict and protect your relationship long term.
