Relationships can be one of the most meaningful aspects of our lives. When something feels off, everything else can feel harder. You may be feeling stuck in the same arguments, wanting closeness but overwhelmed by the distance that keeps showing up between you. You may be craving emotional closeness but feeling like every attempt to reach for it somehow misses the mark. You may be feeling the strain of mismatched sexual desire or changes in intimacy. You want a therapist who understands the dynamics of queer partnerships or polyamorous/non-monogamous relationships. I use emotionally focused therapy to help couples connect in new ways. I'll guide you in interrupting stuck patterns, expressing core needs safely, and developing communication that strengthens emotional safety. Together, we can slow things down and connect with what's really happening under the surface. Through therapy, you can feel truly and deeply understood. I also help queer and trans clients navigate questions about identity and sexuality. You may be feeling disconnected from your body or unsure how to say what you want or need. You may be navigating feelings of shame, fear, or anxiety around intimacy. You may be exploring new understandings of yourself or your identity. Therapy offers a place to talk openly about these concerns. As a queer and trans person myself, I provide the opportunity to work with someone who “gets it.” Navigating identity and relationships can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to turn. I understand these struggles deeply. I offer warmth, compassion, and insight (alongside a sense of humor) to help you explore your challenges and find clarity. If you’re ready to take the next step towards connection and empowerment, I invite you to reach out.
