Relationships

Your relationship seems so different now. Disconnected. You’re tired of talking in circles over the same issues. Maybe you or they even stopped talking. Your partner in life and you seem just to share space, but not your hearts. Things keep getting in the way of dealing with these problems. It can’t go on like this, and it doesn’t have to. Put your relationship first and decide together to change course.

We are all in relationships and have interactions in them every day. From the grocery clerk we meet for a brief moment to our friends and family who we spend many years knowing, our lives are full of relationships. We tend to forget we are also in a relationship with ourselves (sometimes very unkind ones.) Exploring and understanding this relationship opens the door to understanding others. As a relational therapist, I work collaboratively with you to identify problematic interactional patterns and find more adaptive ways of meeting your needs and by extension, improving your relationships.

All relationship styles and configurations are welcome here, including polyamory, open marriage/relationships, and BDSM/kink and others. As a kink aware therapist, I understand you may not be seeking therapy with the intent of focusing on your relationship preferences or practices and it may have little or nothing to do with your present concern. We will work collaboratively to identify what areas are important to you. Of course, if you are interested in exploring your sexuality and relationship preferences, such as sharing previously undisclosed interests with your partner, we can also navigate those areas together.
