relationship therapy
I provide secular, affirming relationship therapy for couples and partners who want to strengthen communication, clarify expectations, and navigate complexity with intention.
Many of the couples I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful adults who function well professionally yet find that relational patterns become reactive under stress. Couples therapy offers a structured space to slow those cycles down and examine what is happening beneath the surface.
I specialize in working with non-monogamous relationships, kink-involved dynamics, and LGBTQ+ couples, while also serving monogamous partners seeking depth-oriented work.
Clients often seek relationship therapy when:
Rather than assigning blame, we focus on understanding attachment patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, and the meaning each partner assigns to conflict. The goal of couples counseling and relationship therapy is not simply to reduce arguments, but to build a more intentional and sustainable partnership.

- opening a relationship has introduced jealousy or instability
- trust has been disrupted
- intimacy has shifted or diminished
- partners are navigating gender transition or identity exploration
- long-standing relational expectations are being renegotiated

premarital counseling
Premarital counseling provides a proactive framework for couples who want clarity before making long-term commitments. We address communication styles, financial values, division of labor, intimacy, family boundaries, work-life balance, and future planning. Couples therapy is especially useful for couples who want alignment before conflict becomes entrenched. Couples counseling is provided through a secular, non-religious lens.
getting started
If you are interested in couples counseling or individual relationship therapy, the best way to begin is by email. Please include your availability and preference for in-person versus online sessions. You may also want to check with your insurance to determine your co-pay. We will then schedule a complimentary 15-minute video consultation via HIPAA-compliant Google Meet to discuss logistics and determine fit.
