Relationships can be our greatest sources of connection, care, and belonging. They can also be complex, painful, and hard to navigate, especially when we are carrying histories of hurt or trying to stay connected in a world that often makes it hard just to survive.
Whether you come as a couple, a partnership, a polycule, or a chosen family, therapy offers a space where your relationships can breathe. A space where each voice matters, where conflict can be unpacked without blame, and where we can explore together how to move toward more understanding, care, and emotional safety.

This work is not about assigning fault. It is about helping you better understand one another’s needs, boundaries, values, and fears, including the things that may not have felt possible to say out loud until now.

Who is this for?

You might be:

  • Feeling stuck in recurring arguments or communication breakdowns

  • Struggling with trust, emotional distance, or feeling unseen

  • Exploring non-monogamy or navigating transitions in relationship structure

  • Working through a betrayal, rupture, or shift in sexual or emotional connection

  • Holding grief, trauma, or systemic pressures that are impacting how you show up together

  • Part of a chosen family trying to strengthen the ways you support and care for one another

    No matter what has brought you here, you are welcome. 

How we work together

 

Therapy with multiple people can feel daunting at first, especially if things feel tense or fragile. My job is to hold the space with care and steadiness so that you can begin to hear and feel heard again. We will slow things down, get curious together, and create space for each person’s truth and experience to be honoured.

I will not take sides, but I will challenge dynamics that feel unsafe or harmful. I bring training in relational, trauma-informed, and queer-affirming practices. My role is to support the relationship or relationships, not to impose a fixed idea of what those should look like.

Some people come for a handful of sessions to work through something specific. Others stay longer to explore deeper patterns. There is no one way to do this. We will shape it together.

What makes this space different

 

So many relationship models are built on assumptions about gender, sexuality, power, and whose needs should matter most. That is not the space we will be working in.I welcome all configurations of love and care: monogamous, polyamorous, queer, kinky, disabled, racialised, neurodivergent.You will not need to translate yourself or your values. This is a space where you can show up exactly as you are. We will work from there.

Whether you are hoping to reconnect, repair, grow, or find a gentler way to part, I am here to help you move through it with more clarity and compassion.
