Relationship Therapy

Relationships are complex, and the ones we have with our romantic partners can profoundly affect every aspect of our lives. I have experience helping couples navigate the following common challenges:

  • Poor communication; frequent misunderstandings, defensiveness, or shutting down

  • Criticism, contempt, or disrespect; negative interaction patterns that erode trust

  • Loss of emotional connection; feeling distant, unloved, or unimportant

  • Attachment wounds

  • Rebuilding trust after a betrayal

  • Navigating major life transitions: moving, career changes, illness, or becoming parents.

  • Inequality in the relationship;  imbalance in decision-making, labor, or emotional load

  • Boundaries with family or friends

  • Growing apart; changing goals, values, or lifestyles

  • Uncertainty about the relationship, commitment, marriage, or plans

  • Premarital counseling 

In addition to my graduate training as a marriage and family therapist, I have completed the following trainings related to relationship therapy and treatment:

  • Gottman Level 1: Bridging the Couple Chasm, The Gottman Institute

  • Sexual Attitude Reassessment (SAR), Sexual Health Alliance

  • Sex Therapy 102, The Institute for Sex Positive Therapy

  • Becoming a Poly-Informed Clinician, The Institute for Sex Positive Therapy

  • Queering Identities: LGBTQ+ Sexuality and Gender Identity, University of Colorado (Coursera)
