My work with couples is informed by training in relational, attachment-based, and somatic approaches to couples therapy, including PACT, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy for Couples, and Hakomi-based methods. These trauma-informed approaches emphasize attachment needs, nervous system regulation, and the moment-to-moment emotional processes that shape intimacy and conflict, offering a path toward repairing relational ruptures.

Drawing from this foundation, I work directly and relationally with couples to make reactive patterns visible, support emotional regulation, and foster new experiences of accountability, repair, and connection—especially in moments that have previously felt overwhelming or unsafe. I help couples slow down and learn to listen to themselves and one another, so that each person can feel genuinely heard.

I work with couples across a wide range of identities and relational structures, including queer and LGBTQ2IA+ couples, non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, and partnerships that fall outside of traditional norms.

Rather than assuming a single model of relationship health, I work with couples to clarify their values, agreements, and limits, and to understand how culture, identity, power, and social context shape relational dynamics.

My role is not to prescribe how a relationship should look, but to support honesty, consent, and self-respect within the relationship you are actually living.
