Collaborative couple therapy is a therapeutic technique that helps couples understand how they communicate when struggling with an issue or argument. The focus of collaborative couple therapy is teaching partners how to turn those fights into intimate conversations, and in turn, strengthen the relationship. In collaborative couple therapy, the therapist will sit in between the couple and speak as if they were one of the partners talking to the other. If one of the partners is 'fighting' by using stinging words, the therapist will attempt to translate those comments into confiding thoughts. If a partner is ‘withdrawing,’ the therapist will guess at what the individual is feeling, and ask if the guesses are correct. A successful outcome of collaborative couple therapy is experiencing intimacy in times of struggle, rather than fighting or withdrawing. Think this approach might be right for you?

You feel like you and your partner are disconnected from each other due to trauma, family, past relationships, communication breakdowns, and/or misunderstandings filling the space between you. You have become so lost in your disconnection that you are struggling to find a way back to the relationship. You want to be able to re-connect on a deeper, more intimate level and help silence the ghosts from the past that continue to separate you. You want to be able to feel love, trust, and safe again.

I enjoy clients from all backgrounds. I seem to have strong connections with those who identify as kinky, polyamorous, LGBTQ+, or formerly religious and who are wanting to navigate those spaces in a more fulfilling way. Belonging to all four of these communities, I have experienced many of the complex feelings that come with living in a way that is not always understood or recognized. I like helping people find new stories to tell about their lives and new ways to live. Be seen. Be heard.
