WHAT TO EXPECT
Couples therapy is alive, directive, and explorative. It is a process of reveiwing your relationship, inviting personal growth, and coming to terms with the unknown, as well as the next step.
It involves moving towards a direction of clarity, with an aim for authentic communication, while providing tools for deeper connection, and finding comfort with authenticity, and vulnerability.
Vulnerability is the door to true intimacy: show up, be seen, and ask for what you need.
Our work focuses on cultivating and strengthening what truly works for you and your partner through willingness, understanding, and self awareness.
You will be invited to use relationship principles based on being seen, heard, valued, and accepted.
We will explore how to honor each other’s experiences, while recognizing your own.
We will also view the fulfillment of your full-self as a continuous process, as you stay connected with yourself, and your partner in relationship.
My practice is founded on inclusion, diversity, and equity, valuing the esteem of all genders and orientations and is poly and kink friendly.
COMMUNICATION TOOLS
These questions may help in resolving difficult dynamics which create conflict, and invite the possilbility of mutual, honest communication.
Relationship Principles
"Today, I will be clear and open."
Healing Principles
"Today, I will see differently."
Individuation Principles

You will be closer to answering the questions:
"How are we there for each other?
What does the relationship need to fulfill and reclaim a larger purpose?
"The true essence of human kind is kindness. There are other qualities which come from education or knowledge, but it is essential, if one wishes to be a genuine human being and impart satisfying meaning to one's existence, to have a good heart."
-Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama
