Services
I provide specialized couples and relationship therapy designed to help monogamous and non-monogamous LGBTQIA+ partners deepen intimacy, build resilience, and cultivate strong teamwork. My therapy model is hands-on and collaborative, meaning we won't just analyze problems — you'll get science-backed skills and a place to practice them in real-time during our sessions.
All services are conducted virtually (telehealth), which allows us to work with your relationship dynamics in the environment where they typically occur. I serve clients located anywhere in Colorado, New Mexico, and Massachusetts.
Weekly or Bi-Weekly
Weekly Therapy
Ongoing couples therapy sessions are the foundation of my practice. Meeting weekly or bi-weekly allows us to build momentum while giving you time between sessions to integrate what you're learning into daily life.
We begin with an intake session so I can get a clear picture of your relationship — including current dynamics, patterns, life stressors, and influences from the past. From there, we meet weekly or every other week depending on your goals and capacity.
In our work together, we reshape the dynamics in your relationship into something more supportive and fulfilling for both of you. This often includes learning and practicing relational skills in session, making intentional agreements about how you operate as a couple, and experiencing more effective ways of collaborating as a team.
Sometimes couples already work well together but are seeking support navigating a transitional period or a particular stressor — in these cases, weekly or bi-weekly couples therapy can support you in moving through the changes with strong communication, an outside perspective, and a sense of connectedness.
4.5 hours - 12 hours (longer intensives are split across multiple days)
Therapy Intensives
Couples therapy intensives allow us to take a deep dive right away and make meaningful progress in a shorter period of time. Intensives range from 4.5 hours (a mini-intensive) to 12 hours (split across multiple days in a week or weekend). The length of your intensive is customizable to your situation and needs.
Intensives are especially helpful in these situations:
-
For these couples, an intensive can bring much-needed stability, quickly. It allows you to press pause on the chaos, get to the bottom of things, and find your footing together again with a roadmap forward. You can continue on with weekly therapy after the intensive depending on your needs.
-
For some folks, starting with once a week sessions can feel too gradual. It can be very beneficial to begin couples therapy with a deep dive into the issues at hand and make accelerated progress right away. From there, we have a solid foundation of work already accomplished and we can continue to build on it with weekly couples therapy.

It often doesn’t make sense to start chipping away at things in couples therapy when one or both of you is already on the fence about being in the relationship. In this case, the most supportive thing is often beginning with Discernment Counseling. Discernment Counseling is a short-term therapy that is highly structured and is designed to help couples get clear about whether to break up, commit to couples therapy, or leave things the way they are.

Betrayals cut deep. The pain and rupture they create can sometimes feel impossible to come back from – and yet, I’ve seen couples move through this work and come out stronger and more honest than before. An intensive gives you the dedicated time and guidance to slow down and understand what’s needed for trust to be rebuilt. The longer session time offers a safe space in which to take meaningful steps towards healing together and restoring your confidence that your relationship can come back from the break in trust. As with all intensives, you can continue on with couples therapy afterwards depending on your needs.
3-5 sessions or one half-day session
Couples Considering Separating
For couples in which one or both partners is considering ending the relationship, the best place to start is Discernment Counseling. This is a short-term, highly structured therapeutic process (typically 3–5 sessions or one half-day session) designed to quickly get to the heart of what’s happening in the relationship. The purpose is not to solve the relationship problems immediately, but to help each of you gain clarity about whether you are willing and able to make the changes the relationship would need to improve.
By the end of Discernment Counseling, partners typically feel grounded in one of three paths:
• Maintain the relationship as it is (for now)
• Separate
• Commit to working on the relationship in couples therapy for a set period of time
Why not just begin with couples therapy? Because couples therapy requires both partners to be invested in the work — willing to self-reflect, take emotional risks, and try new approaches. When one or both partners is unsure about staying in the relationship, it’s common to feel too ambivalent or exhausted to engage in that process. Discernment Counseling offers a way to slow down, assess the situation with support, and make a clear, confident decision about next steps.
Couples who move from Discernment Counseling into couples therapy tend to have better outcomes because they enter the therapy process with more clarity and shared intention. Couples who choose to end the relationship often report feeling more peace with the decision because of the clarity they gained in the Discernment Counseling process.
