Relationship Therapy
Therapy for couples in Victoria, B.C.
I am passionate about supporting queer and trans partnerships, and those in non-monogamous or polyamorous relationship structures. As a queer, trans, and non-monogamous person myself, I know the power of being joined by those we recognize as our people. Here, you won’t have to explain or educate. Instead, you can simply be met where you each need support for the connection between you to flourish.
Together, we will pay close attention to your current experience of each other and yourselves, taking time to understand current dynamics. Increasing emotional safety allows us to explore new experiences of connection as they unfold in our sessions. We will look with curiosity at the histories you each carry, and your relational history together, to find the places holding hurt and longing for change.
My Approach
My study and training in Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy guide my practice. Drawing from these modalities, our work together pays attention to several important places:
Attachment
Healing together toward secure attachment, with compassionate attention paid to what you’ve each learned in your lives and nervous systems about relational security.
Development
Exploring the course your relationship has taken from its beginning to find what nourishes the ongoing growth and development of your bond, and of each of you as individuals.
Safety and Intimacy
The art of showing up to each other with more openness, vulnerability, emotional safety, and understanding so that greater intimacy is available to you.
New Experience
Finding moments that hold the opportunity of newness, instead of expecting the dynamics of the past. I facilitate experiencing each other in new ways to leave behind the cycles of disconnection.
