Counseling ​​Services for Couples

​

Therapy with me is relational, body-based, and designed for depth. Whether you're navigating a specific life challenge or seeking a safe space for emotional healing, our work together will honor your pace, story, and goals. Sessions are held via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth and offered in person if preferred.

​

Professional, Inclusive Support for All Partnerships

Relationships are a central part of emotional wellbeing. Whether you are in a monogamous, LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, or blended family structure, counseling provides a supportive space to strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate challenges with clarity.

I provide affirming, evidence-informed relationship counseling for:

• Heterosexual couples

• LGBTQIA+ couples and gender-diverse partnerships

• Polyamorous partnerships and polycules

• Open and ethically non-monogamous relationships

• Co-parents, blended families, and long-term partners

• Couples navigating reconciliation, transition, or separation

All identities, pronouns, and relationship structures are respected.

​

What We Can Address Together

• Recurring conflict and communication breakdowns

• Emotional disconnection or unmet needs

• Infidelity, breaches of trust, or broken agreements

• Intimacy concerns or desire differences

• Attachment wounds or trauma responses affecting the relationship

• Navigating polyamory, jealousy, or restructuring agreements

• Parenting stress, life transitions, grief, or identity shifts

• Discernment counseling for partners unsure about next steps

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from support.

​

My Clinical Approach-Inclusive & Affirming Care

Culturally responsive, gender-affirming, and supportive of all consensual relationship models.

 

Trauma-Informed & Attachment-Based

We explore how past experiences and nervous-system patterns shape communication, emotional reactions, and connection in the present.

 

Emotionally Focused & Systems-Oriented

Grounded in EFT, relational neuroscience, and systemic therapy to help partners understand patterns and build secure, healthy connection.

 

 Brainspotting for Relational Healing

When appropriate, we can incorporate Brainspotting, a powerful mind–body modality that helps partners:

• Process past relational wounds or attachment trauma

• Reduce reactivity and emotional overwhelm

• Increase emotional regulation and presence

• Heal triggers that repeatedly surface during conflict

Brainspotting can be integrated within a session or used individually to support the larger relationship goals.

 

Balanced, Nonjudgmental Support

Therapy is not about determining who is “right” or “wrong.” My role is to help identify the relational cycle and guide partners toward more effective, compassionate interaction.​

​

No Secrets Policy

In couples and relationship counseling, the relationship system is the client. To maintain fairness, transparency, and therapeutic integrity, I follow a No Secrets Policy.​ This means:

• Information shared privately that is relevant to the relationship cannot be kept confidential from other partner(s).

• If one partner discloses significant information individually (e.g., an ongoing affair, major decisions, safety concerns), I will support them in bringing it into the shared session.

• If disclosure does not occur, couples counseling may need to pause until the issue is appropriately addressed. This policy ensures:

• Emotional safety in the therapeutic space

• Equity among all partners

• Prevention of triangulation or divided alliances

• Integrity of the relationship-focused work

Partners seeking a confidential individual space for personal exploration may benefit from individual therapy alongside couples' work.

​

Safety Considerations

Relationships with a history or ongoing active violence, coercion, or significant safety concerns will not be a good fit for my practice. If disclosed during the course of our work you will be referred out to appropriate treatment recommendations.

Healthy relationships require support, skill, and intention. Whether you are seeking repair, clarity, growth, or deeper connection, counseling can help you move forward with confidence and respect.​​
