The relationship you have with your romantic partner(s) can be a source of comfort and vitality; building such a relationship takes meaningful effort and maintenance. In couples therapy, I provide compassionate, goal-oriented treatment to help couples navigate each stage of their relationship. Treatment draws from EFT, Gottman Method, and Structural Couples Therapy.

Common reasons for seeking treatment include:

High conflict; Loss of connection and intimacy; Parenting; Fertility and pregnancy; Sexual difficulties; Breaches of trust; Challenging life transitions; Pre-marital counseling; Navigating ethical non-monogamy or polyamory; Aid with kink/ BDSM dynamics.

I am queer-, kink-, and ENM-allied in my work.

Sexual connection changes across the course of a relationship, and difficulty in this domain is common rather than exceptional. In couples sex therapy, I help partners address desire, arousal, and intimacy concerns as a shared relational project rather than one person's problem to solve. Treatment draws from the psychobiosocial model of sex therapy, systemic sex therapy, EFT, and CBT.

Common reasons for seeking treatment include:

Desire discrepancy; Low or absent sexual desire; Difficulty with arousal, orgasm, or pain; Sexual disconnection after childbirth or illness; Mismatched sexual interests or scripts; Rebuilding erotic connection after a breach of trust; Sexual concerns related to aging or medical change; Navigating kink/BDSM dynamics; Sexual questions arising in open or polyamorous structures.

I work with partners together and take a sex-positive, shame-reducing approach.

Let’s be honest — navigating family life can be stressful during the best of circumstances. The challenges of parenting and family life have only increased due to the pressures from COVID. I offer family therapy services to help parents and children of all ages navigate concerns, whether they be longstanding or have only appeared in the past few years.

In family therapy, I utilize Structural Family Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Family Systems approaches to help family members develop adaptive and healthy communication patterns, as well as address parenting concerns and behavioral issues.

In addition to family-based work, I provide parent coaching using attachment-informed Parent Management Training by Kazdin.

Drawing from structural family therapy, family systems therapy, attachment-focused therapy, and the Kazdin Method, I provide in-person family therapy for families of all makeups and needs.

The relationship between adult children and their parents can carry decades of accumulated pattern, and it often shifts as roles change: marriage, partnership, grandchildren, geographic distance. This work brings adult family members into the room together to address longstanding dynamics with structure and containment. Treatment draws from Structural Family Therapy, attachment theory, and systemic approaches.

Common reasons for seeking treatment include:

Estrangement or prolonged rupture; Conflict following a marriage or partnership; Tension around boundaries with grandchildren; Long-standing patterns that resurface at holidays and family events; Difficulty renegotiating the relationship as adults; Repair after a specific breach; Conflict about differing values, beliefs, or life choices.

Sessions are structured to give each family member a clear role and prevent the dynamics that make these conversations fail at home.

Adolescence reorganizes a family. The strategies that worked when a child was younger often stop working, and both teenagers and parents can end up feeling misread. I work with adolescents within the family system rather than in isolation, which means parents and caregivers are active participants in the treatment. Treatment draws from Structural Family Therapy, attachment-based approaches, and Parent Management Training (the Kazdin Method).

Common reasons for seeking treatment include:

Escalating conflict between a teenager and their parents; Communication breakdown or withdrawal; School refusal or academic disengagement; Emerging questions about identity, gender, or sexuality; Family adjustment following separation or divorce; Difficulty with limits, autonomy, or independence; Sibling conflict; Renegotiating rules and expectations as a teenager gets older.

I am queer- and trans-affirming in my work with adolescents and their families.
