Neurodivergent Relationships
Being in a neurodivergent partnership or family system can feel chaotic We help support your relationship by helping with communication, boundary setting, and attuning to your loved one.
Relationships are essential for us but they’re also messy, especially when stress, past wounds, or life transitions turn connection into conflict. In therapy, partners and families get a space to slow down, attune to each other, and learn how to navigate differences with curiosity rather than defensiveness. The problem usually isn’t that people don’t care, it’s that they’ve never been taught how to communicate, do repair work, or know how to feel safe enough to be vulnerable with each other.

How we support relationships —
-
Learn skills and tools for how to actually hear each other instead of reacting defensively or talking over feelings (such as saying “I feel abandoned” rather than blaming or shaming and saying "you never help”).
-
We will work to help you recognize the cycles and patterns that lead to resentment and turning away from your relationships, increasing tolerance for uncomfortable conversations and more empathy and understanding across the board.
-
Let’s rebuild intimacy, trust, play and fun in your relationship. Rekindling the feelings that brought you together and finding new admiration and appreciation for your partner.
-
Identify what boundary crossing has taken place that needs to be reestablished, learning language to express these limits in a gentle but clear manner so that everyone feels respected and heard.
-
LGBTQIA+
As affirming therapists, we are honored to support you and your relationship. We recognize that being queer can bring unique challenges, including navigating judgment or criticism from loved ones, the impact of the current political climate, and the ongoing exploration of identity and sexuality within a relationship. Our goal is to create a safe, validating space where all parts of you and your relationship are welcomed, respected, and understood.
-
Married + Monogamous Couples
We are thrilled to help you deepen your commitment to one another, recognizing the need to maintain connection, trust and intimacy in long term relationships. It can be powerful to explore areas of the relationship that may have become complacent or forgotten about, rediscovering the love and mutual respect that laid the foundation for you and your partner.
-
Ethical Non-Monogamy
We affirm and support a wide range of relationship structures, including polyamorous relationships, open relationships, and other forms of ethical non-monogamy. We believe there is no single right way to build connection, commitment, or family. Our work centers on helping partners cultivate the communication, honesty, and trust that are essential for healthy, sustainable relationships especially when navigating dynamics that may require additional clarity around boundaries, agreements, and emotional needs.
Reconnecting families —
-
Through an attachment lens, we can support you and your child form a more secure base to decrease acting out behaviors, separation anxiety, reactive attachment disorder, and other behavioral issues. Sessions are conducted together with attachment and attunement-based interventions that you take home to continue the work outside of session.
-
Whatever your family system looks like, whether that’s a nuclear family or involves grandparents, family-friends, we are here to support your system. Through family sessions, every member gets a voice to express their needs and improve communication, affection, respect and trust.
-
In Family Systems Theory, every member has a role or function in the family system. Family Systems Theory is based on the idea that families are like emotional ecosystems—each person’s thoughts, behaviors, and emotions affect the whole system. Instead of focusing on one "problem person," we look at how patterns, roles, and dynamics within the family contribute to stress or disconnection. In therapy, we work together to shift those patterns and strengthen relationships so the whole family can feel more connected, understood, and supported.
-
Whether you're navigating discipline, communication, or balancing your own needs with your child’s, we work to provide personalized strategies to strengthen your parenting skills and foster a healthy, supportive relationship with your child.
