- Couples Welcome - In-Person or Online - Same daily fight? Navigating an affair? Deciding about separation? We explore building trust, safety and a sense of partnership. We look at painful patterns, but also see you both as individuals with desires in the relationship and in your lives. We can explore how patterns influence your lives together today and expand the parts that are serving you and evolve the ones that aren’t. The results may include building new boundaries, confronting shame and evolving relationship-narratives. I offer a safe, trusting space so that you both can feel settled and explore your relationship vulnerably.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Greenfield, MA


We all need connection, community, and the ability to be our authentic selves in order to thrive. Many of us are not provided these attachment needs in childhood, and we grow into adulthood burdened by this wounding, unsure of how to relate safely and from a place of wholeness. If you struggle to align your inner and outer worlds, find yourself repeating difficult relational patterns, or feel as if your authentic self must remain hidden, I would love to work with you. I am particularly interested in supporting the health of queer families and cooperatives.
