I work with couples and partners who have been together for some years and are experiencing disconnection and conflict, others who want to open their relationship or heal from a breach of trust, those seeking better communication and understanding before getting married or having children, others finding blending families difficult, and some facing complex decisions. Sexual issues are sometimes part of what feels challenging.

 

I’ve observed many times how some of the attributes that attract partners to each other are at the root of their frustrations with each other. Together we can explore that negative dynamic you and your partner repeatedly get stuck in and how to shift it. We can create space for your partner to hear you and for you to hear them.

 

Some of my couples clients are queer, bisexual, transgender or gender nonconforming, nonmonogamous, nontraditional, and/or neurodivergent and want a therapist who understands that. Others want more support around their relationship structure or after experiencing difficulties with nonmonogamy. 

 

Many of my couples clients are in intercultural relationships and are BIPOC, Jewish, or have other identities or backgrounds important to them. In couples therapy, we can explore intercultural differences and their impact.

 

If your relationship constellation involves more than two people, we can bring them into the therapy space when and if that feels right.
