“Nothing is more important in our lives than our relationships. A great relationship boosts your immune system, opens your heart, and keeps you vital and creative.”  ~ Terry Real

Intimate relationships have the potential to be the most rewarding elements in our lives, yet we receive little to no training in how to be a good partner. When things become challenging, it can be incredibly helpful to have a therapist to provide support and skills you may need to create a great relationship. I take an active commonsense approach to help you:

• identify patterns that block intimacy 
• build a teamwork model to solving your problems
• improve communication skills (including how to listen)​
• move from emotional standoff to vibrant reconnection

Investing in couples therapy offers a deeper, sexier, happier and more resilient connection with your partner.

Painful and ineffective relationship patterns are rooted in past relational failures, early and recent, large and small. As relational beings, we get hurt in relationships, and we can also heal in relationships. You deserve a great partnership. Contact me today for a free consultation.

I serve partnerships of all genders and sexual orientations who are seeking support to 

• improve the relationship - move beyond compromises to thrive
• prepare for commitment or marriage
• contemplate or create a healthy structure for opening the relationship to non-monogamy
• rebound after betrayal
• harmoniously co-parent
• make peace with extended family dynamics

I especially enjoy serving multi-cultural and queer couples.
