I'm deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families on their journey towards growth and healing using embodied and experiential techniques. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating relationship challenges, exploring non-monogamous dynamics, and seeking to deepen their self-awareness. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, partnership, or family.
Specialties
I work with couples who are deeply invested in their relationship but find themselves caught in seemingly intractable conflict cycles. I support these couples to reconnect to their relationship purpose, build awareness of their triggers and how to de-escalate in moments of activation, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and realign towards a greater sense of unity as a couple.
I use nonviolent communication (NVC) as a tool for helping those who are new to awareness-based communication methods, sharing their emotions and needs, or as a first step in beginning to build one's capacity for more authentic communication. I see NVC as a stepping stone for many looking to deepen their communication with partners, friends, and others.
I am trained in Process Work, which uses somatic awareness practices to work with body symptoms, nighttime dreams, relational difficulties, vision for the world, and more. Through embodiment of that which attracts or disturbs us, we can often gain insights that can bring new ways of being and living our lives more fully. Embodiment can allow for a more rapid integration of these learnings.
Specialties
I specialize in supporting individuals and couples exploring polyamory, non-monogamy, and relationship anarchy, as well as those considering these relationship structures. Together, we deepen awareness, communication, and autonomy, fostering intentional decision-making and deeper relatedness. As someone from these identities, I offer unique insight and understanding to navigate the challenges along the way
With over a decade of experience in social movement work, I specialize in transformative justice and healing within relationships. As someone from privileged identities, I've undergone significant personal growth to understand and dismantle how these identities shape my perspective and further social injustice, and I'm dedicated to supporting others in building this awareness too.

Stepping into personal growth work initially through men's work, I specialize in supporting men on their journey of self-discovery, emotional exploration, and nurturing healthy relationships. With a perspective rooted in advocating for gender equality and understanding the diverse experiences of all genders, I offer compassionate guidance to men seeking personal growth and authentic connections.
I specialize in working with families facing conflict, aiming to build resilience and transform challenges into opportunities for growth. With an unbiased perspective, I guide families in navigating conflict, fostering unity, and recognizing when temporary separation may be necessary for intentional healing and transformation.
