Relationship Therapy
For people in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships who are navigating sex, communication, and relationship dynamics
You can talk about everything, but you can’t talk about this
Parts of this relationship are strong. You care, you're invested, you want to keep showing up for each other and the relationship.
And still, something feels off. You’ve likely tried to talk about it, but those conversations don’t always go the way you intend. They get awkward, cut short, or turn tense before anything actually gets resolved.
Over time, it can start to feel like you’re circling the same areas without resolution.
A space to talk about what usually goes unsaid
Relationship therapy focuses on helping you understand what’s happening in your relationship, and provides you with the tools to navigate it more directly and honestly.
This work isn’t limited to traditional couples or one type of relationship. It includes monogamous and non-monogamous dynamics, individuals exploring their role within a relationship, and those navigating desire differences, infidelity, or communication challenges.
In our work together, we focus on creating space for open conversations. You’ll learn how to talk about sex, desire, and boundaries. You’ll also build a clearer understanding of your needs without overexplaining or minimizing them, and learn how to navigate differences without conversations turning into conflict or avoidance.
What to Expect
Consultation
We start with a 20-minute consultation to understand what’s bringing you in and determine if this feels like a good fit. If it does, we can schedule your first session from there.
Initial Sessions
We begin by meeting together to get a sense of the relationship and what’s been happening. From there, each person will have an individual session so I can better understand your perspectives, experiences, and what each of you wants to change.
Ongoing Work
Following the initial sessions, we come back together for joint sessions. These are active and focused. We look at how conversations unfold, where things get stuck, and work through those moments in real time so you can start having different experiences in the relationship outside of session.
Who This Is For
This is a good fit, if you:
You have different levels of desire and aren’t sure how to bridge that gap
Certain topics, like boundaries or kinks, feel hard to bring up, or lead to frustration when you try
The relationship works in many ways, but intimacy feels off or inconsistent
You’re navigating non-monogamy or questioning what kind of relationship structure actually works for you
Porn use or relationships or connections outside of the relationship have created tension or uncertainty
You struggle to talk about what you want because you’re worried about how your partner will receive it
FAQs
-
For relationship therapy, we typically meet together for sessions. Early on, each person will also have an individual session so I can better understand your perspective and what you’re hoping to work on.
-
That’s common. Part of the work is understanding how each person sees the situation and where those differences come from. We’ll work through that directly rather than trying to force agreement right away.
-
That’s something we can focus on directly. Many people come in because their relationship is strong in other areas, but sex, desire, or intimacy isn’t working the way they want it to.
-
Yes. I work with both monogamous and non-monogamous relationship structures. The focus is on the relationship in front of me and what works for the people involved.
-
That’s not uncommon, especially if previous therapy didn’t address sex or relationship dynamics in a direct way. This work is more focused on what’s happening in real time and how to shift those patterns.
-
This depends on what you’re looking to work on. Some people come in with a specific focus, while others stay longer to explore patterns more fully.
-
That can be part of the dynamic we explore. We’ll look at what’s behind that difference and how it’s showing up in the relationship.
-
The first step is to schedule a consultation. From there, we’ll talk through your goals and determine next steps.
Connection becomes easier with honest conversation
Therapy can help you move through conflict more openly and build a relationship dynamic that better meets the needs of everyone involved.
