Relationship Therapy

Relationship therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which a trained clinician works with people involved in a relationship to process and resolve issues and conflicts and gain insight into their dynamics. People seek out this type of therapy to restore bonds and improve intimacy and relationship satisfaction.

I work with and welcome all relationship structures, including monogamous, monogamish, consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships as well as relationship anarchy. I offer treatment for those who may be experiencing discord, difficulties with communication and intimacy, or feel they are stuck in a pattern or cycle.

    • Feeling distressed that things are not going well with your partner(s)

    • Experiencing conflict or frequent arguments

    • Lacking effective communication

    • Feeling discouraged or unsure of what you can do to help your relationship

    • Have experienced infidelity or are struggling with an affair

    • Feeling unheard or misunderstood by your partner(s)

    • Increase awareness about how each partner’s behavior affects the relationship

    • Learn effective ways of problem solving and supporting one other

    • Receive assistance adjusting to a major transition in the relationship

    • Improved connection, communication and intimacy

    • Gain empathy and understanding into your partner’s perspective

    • Manage disputes in a more effective manner

    • Learn to balance family and careers while preserving intimacy in the relationship

  • In relationship therapy, partners attend the session together. The first session will include information gathering about the history of the relationship as well as the presenting concern(s). During future sessions we will explore communication, conflict and attachment styles, relational dynamics and determine how each partner prefers to give and receive love. The role of the relationship therapist is not to take sides, but rather to help each partner identify and understand their role in the relationship and how they may be contributing to problems. I will strive to make sure that each partner has space to share their views, express their concerns and have a voice in each session.
