Romantic relationships of any kind take work! As a systemic therapist, I work with the understanding that each person in a pair (or polycule) comes with their own history, their own ingrained patterns of behavior (or attachment styles), and their own triggers. In my work with couples and partnered systems, I help clients identify what each person is bringing into the relationship, and how to accommodate for those differences to avoid triggering each other.

I work with couples of all orientations and all kinds (married or not), and I offer premarital counseling for those who want to make sure they are on the same page before tying the knot. I am also experienced with polyamory and with counseling those who are poly or ethically non-monogamous. Alternatively, if you have come to couple’s therapy as a last resort because one or both of you has decided to end the relationship, I also offer discernment therapy to help ease the transition out of partnership and establish closure.
