I’m not the kind of therapist who just listens and sends you on your way. If we meet for one hour a week, there are 167 others where life is happening, and that is where change needs to stick. Together we will look at what is really driving the arguments, the distance, or that “we’re basically roommates” feeling, and start building tools you can actually use between sessions.
You might be here because you feel unheard. That same fight keeps popping up. You're unsatisfied in your sex life, or just don't know how to bring up that one kink you saw online and really want to try. I am sex positive, kink-informed, and experienced in supporting clients who are in or exploring non-monogamous relationships.
You might be feeling stuck in the same cycles of your relationships. I believe the best way to shift a family system or break a relationship cycle is to have everyone involved in the room. That way we can work on the system as a whole, instead of putting the pressure on one person to “fix” things alone.
Whatever brings you in, my job is to help you get unstuck, communicate in ways that land, and find your way back to the connection you want. I am straightforward, but I am also on your team. We will experiment with new skills (figure out what went wrong when some don't work) and keep going until the changes feel real. And while we will take the hard stuff seriously, there is usually room to laugh too. Sometimes that shared laugh can be the first step back toward feeling close again.
If you want real conversations, useful strategies, and a therapist who will challenge you while still having your back, I am here for it.
