relationship therapy.

We are hurt in relationship, we heal in relationship.  

Whether you’re a couple, family members, or close friends, all relationships deserve space and attention to attune to the wedges that inevitably arise (after all - you’re different people, each with your own personalities, preferences, and quirks). 

I hold space for folks in relationship who are wanting to deepen connection, work through difficult conversations or life transitions, and repair after a rupture. As someone who is queer and multiracial, I have particular passion in holding space for queer relationships and interracial relationships, and bring a strong awareness of how systemic oppression impacts our mental health and relationship stressors.

We bring so much into our relationships…

  • Individual experiences: our past hurts, inner critics & insecurities, passions & dreams. 

  • Interpersonal experiences: our family of origin, intergenerational patterns, relationships modeled around us, past relationships we have experienced

  • Systemic experiences: our experiences of oppression and/or privilege based on our identities. Race, ability, gender, sexual orientation, and relationship structure to name a few.

…And we navigate through so much.

  • Racial and cultural identities  

  • Desires around sex 

  • Values about money 

  • How to parent 

  • Ways of showing & receiving love

  • Chores! 

What if conflict wasn’t something that threatened your relationship, but something that you could lean into as an opportunity learn more about each other, and actually grow closer as a result? 

our work together.

I believe that cultivating vulnerability and loving more deeply is one of the most radical things we can do.

As your therapist, I have no agenda: I will not take sides, and if you feel that I am you have my full permission to call me out. I will facilitate a space to hear deeply from each of you about your unique perspectives and experiences of the relationship, and how the relationship dynamics play out in your mind, body, and emotions. From there, I will support you in moving through conversations differently, with more understanding of and tending to the hurts coming up that often can lead to disconnection.
