You WAnt Love to Feel Easy Again…
In your partnership, you:
- feel like you’re working way too hard to make the relationship work
- feel emotionally unsupported by your partner
- end up yelling at each other almost every time you fight
- fight every time you try to talk about a particular topic
- are not connecting with each other because of the past pain and hurt that’s built up
- struggle to communicate about anything meaningful
Or maybe you:
- are exploring how to keep your connection sacred as you explore inviting other lovers/boos/friends/etc.
- are negotiating the form of poly that works best for both of you
- want to strengthen your communication or attachment bond
- want to learn emotional skills to better support each other
- want to learn how heal your attachment wounds in your partnership
- want to be more open and honest with each other
What I Offer:
*compassionate and fair space to navigate difficult conversations
*honest reflection on your patterns
*tools, skills, and ideas to help you emotionally support each other and navigate conflict better
*celebration of your wins
*two appointments lengths: 45-55 and 75-85 minutes
In couples therapy, I:
- share a lot of information and sometimes insight or analysis about what I’m noticing so you can better understand your relationship patterns
- value and prioritize developing a safer and non-judgemental healing relationship with you both so we can get to the roots of the challenges in your relationship
- help you explore scary, painful, difficult, or hidden emotions, offer emotionally reparative experiences, and teach you how to offer these to each other
- support you in learning and consistently using healthier communication and emotional skills
- remind you of the skills and supports that help your relationship feel better for each of you
- help you break down the barriers to using your healthier skills so your relationship can feel better all the time, not just in therapy
My work is informed by:
- attachment research
- EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)

- feminism and anti-oppression
