Relationship Counseling

I provide consultation and counseling for parents/caregivers. Please see the My Background and Approach section for more information regarding this specialty.

Relationship counseling provides a space to explore how past experiences shape the dynamics of your current relationships. By understanding individual histories and their impact on communication, trust, and connection, we can uncover patterns that may be influencing how you relate to one another. Whether in monogamous or polyamorous relationships, my goal is to help you address unresolved issues, foster deeper understanding, and create healthier, more mindful ways of relating."

I studied psychology and sociology as my undergraduate majors and got my master's degree from Drexel University, Master of Family Therapy. My educational background and additional trainings I've attended throughout the course of my career (EFT, Prepare/Enrich premarital counseling assessment certification and treating affairs and trauma training), are all for relationships and to better provide support for my adult individuals and couples coming to my therapy room for relationship issues.

Relationship counseling helps individuals and couples build stronger, healthier connections. Whether you're navigating conflict, communication issues, or deepening intimacy, evidence-based approaches foster lasting change. I've trained in several proven couples therapy models and authored two books for couples. Whether you're seeking support as an individual or a couple, relationship counseling can help your romantic or other relationships thrive with greater understanding, trust, and connection

I have been working as a coach and therapist with non-monogamous/polyamorous groupings since 2009. For relationship sessions, I work with both dyads as well as larger polycules.

At our practice, we're all about helping couples build stronger, happier relationships. With years of experience in relationship therapy, our friendly team is here to support you through everything from minor squabbles to major challenges. We create a safe, welcoming space where you can work on communication, resolve conflicts, and reconnect with each other.

I am trained and have experience working with all types of relationships. Communication work is key to any healthy relationship and in my opinion is the cornerstone of relationship therapy.

Addressing relationships in therapy can look like couples counseling or individual. Either way we think addressing the relationships in counseling are so important. They often can cause things like depression and anxiety without even knowing. Our approach can address both!

Building and maintaining relationships can be difficult as we grow in our careers, become parents and even continue education. Whether you are in need of marriage, divorce, couples or family therapy, we got you! We get it, which is why therapy is remote and, on your time, so you can foster healthy relationships. It's okay if the other person is not ready for relationship or family therapy, let's work on what we can, and the rest will follow.

The frameworks I utilize the most are the Gottman Method and the Developmental Model. I have completed Gottman Level 1 and Level 2 Trainings as well as extensive training in the developmental model. I will also weave in techniques and methods learned from Emotional Focused therapy and Esther Perel’s work when appropriate.

I use Prepare/Enrich for premarital counseling and those looking to establish a healthy foundation for their future together.

Training in couples, marriage, and family therapy. Working with relationships in the context of group. Working with business and professional relationships

My additional graduate training in couple and family therapy has given me the special insight and skills with which I have competed hundreds of pre-marital, couple and family therapy sessions for over 12 years.

At East Coast Mental Wellness, we help couples strengthen their relationships by providing a supportive space to improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to address conflict, enhance intimacy, and foster understanding. We guide couples in developing healthier communication patterns, managing conflict constructively, and reconnecting emotionally and physically. Whether

Both the man and the woman need to be equally heard and understood. I focus a lot on how deeply our insecurities and selfishness play a role in how we deal with our spouse. I teach the basics of what love is and how to communicate well. I help uncover the subtle and not so subtle problems of pride and selfishness, but in a loving, but direct manner.

As a Couple and Family Therapist, I am dedicated to providing effective relationship counseling. I focus on helping clients address challenges such as communication breakdowns, trust issues, and conflicts. My training allows me to understand the complexities that can arise within relationships. Together, we can work toward creating meaningful, lasting relationships that reflect your unique identity and values.

It is difficult to be content and at peace when there is tension or strife in your romantic partnership(s). I can teach you skills to improve communication, reduce conflict, and enhance connection. I have training and experience in working with consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, and polyamory. As a certified sex therapist, I offer help with navigating common sexual concerns, such as desire discrepancy, sexual dysfunction, and kink / BDSM.

I specialize in relationship counseling with a focus on consensual non-monogamy, LGBTQIA+ partnerships, and kink/BDSM dynamics. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve helped individuals and couples navigate complex relationship structures, improve communication, and foster deeper connections. My inclusive, non-judgmental approach creates a safe space for clients to explore and strengthen their unique relationships.

I integrate relationship therapy into my counseling practice because relationships play a key role in mental and emotional well-being. Whether working with couples or individuals, I help clients improve communication, build trust, and navigate conflicts in a healthy way. Stronger relationships lead to greater personal growth, resilience, and overall life satisfaction.
