​​​Note: I offer spaces at a reduced rate but these are all filled at the moment.
​
I believe that guiding individuals through a process of discussing their issues, can help improve their relationships. I also understand that you may have certain expectations, but it's important to keep in mind that the outcome you desire may not necessarily be guaranteed through this process.

​I am a sex-positive, kink-aware and poly-friendly therapist.

Frequented Asked Questions
What Is Relationship Therapy?
It is a safe and confidential space for addressing relationship issues. It's a judgment-free environment where partners can communicate openly. During these sessions, we can explore all kinds of topics, including but not limited to infidelity, communication problems, discrepancies in desire, intimacy and connection, unfulfilled emotional needs, parenting styles, and sexual issues.
Do We Need to Be in Crisis to Seek Relationship Therapy?
No, relationship therapy isn’t just for couples or relationships in crisis. It can be helpful for:
Strengthening communication and understanding.
Navigating life transitions (e.g., becoming parents, retirement).
Deepening emotional intimacy.
Trust issues or infidelity.
Working through recurring conflicts.
Navigating separation or deciding whether to stay together.
Preventing future challenges before they arise.
What Happens in the First Session?
The first session involves both individuals attending together. It is an opportunity for us to explore the dynamics of your relationship and what has brought you to therapy.
After this, each partner will attend an individual session. These individual sessions allow each person to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in greater depth.
During the initial session, we will also:
Discuss practical details, such as session structure, costs, and confidentiality.
Decide whether relationship therapy is the right approach for your needs.
There is no obligation to commit to further sessions after the first meeting unless we have already agreed to meet weekly.
​
Do We Always Attend Sessions Together?
Not necessarily. While many sessions involve both partners, there may be times when individual sessions are recommended. This allows each person to explore their thoughts and feelings in more depth. We will discuss and agree on the best structure for your therapy.
Is Relationship Therapy Confidential?
Yes, relationship therapy is confidential. What is shared in sessions stays private, with the exception of cases where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others. In such situations, we will discuss any necessary steps with you first.
How Long Does Relationship Therapy Last?
The length of therapy depends on your specific needs and goals. Some couples benefit from a few focused sessions, while others may engage in longer-term work. We will regularly review your progress and adjust the process as needed. This can be discussed further during our first session.
What If My Partner Doesn’t Want to Attend Therapy?
While relationship therapy typically involves both partners, it can still be beneficial to attend alone if your partner is unwilling or unable to join. Exploring your perspective and responses to challenges can help create meaningful changes in your relationship.
