Your differences are not a deficit

Each of us walks through life collecting experiences that create assumptions about the way things should be. In partnership, we can lose sight of the other’s unique experiences. This leads to unhelpful expectations and cyclical misunderstandings.

Your differences are not a deficit – they are likely a big part of why you chose your relationship. Change happens in relational therapy when each partner is seen and appreciated. From this place, shared values and goals for the relationship emerge.

For couples/relational work, I help clients identify their own attachment styles and how each person can demonstrate care and love based on their partner’s experience. If a couple wishes to separate, I can assist in navigating that process mindfully.

I’m here to help with:

  • Developing a shared vision for the relationship

  • Conflict due to different emotional/physical needs, backgrounds, or values

  • One or more partner living with neurodiverence (ADHD/Autism) and/or or experiencing mental health concerns

  • Relationships in transition (breakups, divorce, learning to co-parent)

  • Preparing for marriage, life commitment, or a child

  • Defining roles and responsibilities that support each partner’s unique needs and well-being

  • Grieving the loss of a child (accident, health, suicide)

  • Infidelity processing

  • Queer relationships of all kinds

  • Impact of gender roles

  • Significant platonic/non-romantic relationships

jolt us out of complacency, in the most positive sense.”
