Having a loving, thriving partnership(s) takes intentional effort, a willingness to grow, and an openness to hone a variety of skills. As a queer and transgender couples therapist, I specialize in providing a queer-informed space for partners to do this growth together – a space in which the nuances of your gender, sexuality, and experiences in queer culture are understood and are not a sticking point of awkwardness or feeling misunderstood by the therapist during session. I am sex positive, kink affirming, and non-monogamy informed. Partners of all orientations are warmly welcomed.

The partners who work with me are often seeking support with communication, building a stronger skillset for conflict resolution, enriching their sex lives, navigating changes to a relationship structure, attachment style challenges, major life transitions, repairing past hurt, increasing intimacy, or reimagining their relationship after many years together. In my personal life and professionally, I strive to be antiracist, multiculturally competent, and social justice oriented. l use the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, and Non-Violent Communication. Overall, I approach relationship therapy in a collaborative and gently directive way.
