There is no one-way to do relationships, though we often carry with us unspoken rules and legacies that may or may not fit who we are with our loved one(s). Sex, money, emotional labor, and parenting, are just a few places where we might get complacent, avoidant, conflictual, leading to resentment and rigidity.

​

Working on your relationship is a lifetime investment that can have monumental impact.

 

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring compassion, creativity, humor and depth to couples counseling, holding space for couples to feel seen and heard. This can make space for change to arise with acceptance and commitment.
