Relationship Therapy

Relationship Therapy can be helpful for all kinds of relationships. Although this kind of therapy is often referred to in the clinical fields as ‘Couple’s Therapy’, I refer to it as ‘Relationship Therapy’ to reflect the many kinds of relationships I work with, as well as to counter the idea that romantic relationships can only include a couple. While I do work with monogamous couples, I also work with polyamorous relationships which may include more than two partners, consensually non-monogamous relationships, platonic life partnerships and relationships in which one or more partners may be asexual, to name a few.

I also use the term ‘Relationship Therapy’ to encapsulate the work that I do supporting intimate relationship work in general, outside of romantic or sexual configurations. For example, I have supported people who are learning to move past homophobia and/or transphobia to embrace a queer and/or trans family member. I have supported deep friendships that have experienced a rupture, and are struggling to move toward accountability and repair. I have also supported collectives that are experiencing conflict within their creative and/or movement circles.

In all, the same experience, principles and influences that are listed under the Individual Therapy and About pages apply to Relationship work, with the addition of trainings and supervision I have received around relationship support, de-escalation and relational trauma and repair. My style in Relationship work holds an anti-oppression frame, and attends to equity as opposed to equality. In it, I am committed to transparency, clarity and active guidance which builds upon tools you already possess, supplemented by ones suggested within session. I greatly enjoy Relationship work, and look forward to supporting you.

Remote Sessions

Remote Therapy, also referred to as Telehealth, has become far more common due to the impact of COVID-19. For the foreseeable future, I am only offering sessions via Zoom, and will not be able to meet in person.

In essence, remote therapy works very similarly to therapy in person. We meet once per week for fifty-minute sessions, where we collaborate to enact the support you need and deserve. As a therapist who is informed by expressive arts and somatic practices, I utilize interventions which incorporate the body and the arts, where needed, despite the barrier of distance. While aspects of this work can feel different online, there are creative adjustments I make to retain each intervention’s usefulness and potential for impact. I apply the same skills, training and orientations listed on this page with my remote clients as I do with those I formerly saw face-to-face. In addition, upon establishing a therapeutic relationship with you, I familiarize myself with resources in your area or nearby to provide to you, along with my robust archive of online resources, so that we are continuously expanding your access to care and community.

With this being said, In-Person Therapy can feel important for many folx, to have available to them now, or to know is possible for future sessions. If this is the case, I unfortunately may not be the right person to support you at this time.
