Couples Counseling

I provide directive and empathetic support for those who feel deeply invested in their relationship(s) but find themselves caught in conflict cycles that feel difficult to unravel. In our work, I support you to reconnect to your relationship purpose, build awareness of your triggers and how to de-escalate in moments of activation, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and realign towards a greater sense of unity in your relationship.

Nonviolent Communication

I use nonviolent communication (NVC) as a tool for helping those who are new to awareness-based communication methods, sharing their emotions and needs, or as a first step in beginning to build one's capacity for more authentic communication. I see NVC as a stepping stone for many looking to deepen their communication with partners, friends, and others.

Somatic Therapy (Body Centered)

I am trained in Process Work, which uses somatic awareness practices to work with body symptoms, nighttime dreams, relational difficulties, vision for the world, and more. Through embodiment of that which attracts or disturbs us, we can often gain insights that can bring new ways of being and living our lives more fully. Embodiment can allow for a more rapid integration of these learnings.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

I provide directive and empathetic support for those who feel deeply invested in their relationship(s) but find themselves caught in conflict cycles that feel difficult to unravel. In our work, I support you to reconnect to your relationship purpose, build awareness of your triggers and how to de-escalate in moments of activation, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and realign towards a greater sense of unity in your relationship.

Polyamorous and Open Relationships

With individuals and couples exploring consensual nonmonogamy (CNM), I work with you and your partner(s) to get clear around your dreams, places of growth, and readiness for CNM to determine where you're at in your CNM journey. We also work to deepen your skills for communication through the inevitable challenges that can arise in these kinds of relationships. This can be for seasoned polyfolk as well as those just beginning to explore switching from a more monogamous framework.

Cultural and Systemic Oppression

With over a decade of experience in social movement work, I specialize in transformative justice and healing within relationships. As someone from privileged identities, I've undergone significant personal growth to understand and dismantle how these identities shape my perspective and further social injustice, and I'm dedicated to supporting others in building this awareness too.

Men's Issues

Stepping into personal growth work initially through men's work, I specialize in supporting men on their journey of self-discovery, emotional exploration, and nurturing healthy relationships. With a perspective rooted in advocating for gender equality and understanding the diverse experiences of all genders, I offer compassionate guidance to men seeking personal growth and authentic connections.

Family Conflict

I specialize in working with families facing conflict, aiming to build resilience and transform challenges into opportunities for growth. With an unbiased perspective, I guide families in navigating conflict, fostering unity, and recognizing when temporary separation may be necessary for intentional healing and transformation.
