Relationship Therapy

     For every pair there is a third. Each partner carries with them a creation, an ever morphing and adapting entity that contains needs, expectations, boundaries, history, and a plethora of emotions. This third entity is none other than the relationship itself. 

​

     A couple/relationship therapist with a systemic training tracks patterns and communication signals that maintain the current problem. But a funny thing about problems is that they are often attempted solutions to a problem. That is to say, problems carry a strategic function that keeps the relationship in its current form. I work with clients to overcome this ordeal with embodied awareness and intergenerational investigations. 

​

      As a relationship anarchist, I prioritize how each partner can play with what the relationship is and how it meets particular needs. There is no one right way to be in a relationship. 
Whether monogamous, polyamorous, straight, or queer, I help relationships practice getting into a space of play.

 

Play is the essence of respect, curiosity, and bonding that can ignite hearts to join together in order to make the tough and bold choices a relationship requires. 

​

     I use somatic interventions, such as sculpting and body scanning, and Art Therapy interventions to help clients embody their emotions as it relates to their relationship. Together, we will track the dance of your patterns and gain insight into the intergenerational stories that are at play.

Systems Thinking

In relationship therapy, neither individual partner is the client. The relationship is the client. Systems thinking is about attuning to the quality of the relational 

movement. It is inherently collectively oriented and anti-oppressive.
