Meet the Therapist

You don’t need to fit a traditional mold to deserve meaningful support. I offer therapy that honors the many ways people love, live, and stay connected; as partners, as family, or as chosen community. Whether your relationships are monogamous, polyamorous, kinky, queer, platonic, blended, or uniquely beautiful, our work together creates space for the full complexity of who you are and how you relate. 

Therapy at The Relational Hour is about:

• Understanding the deeper patterns in your relationships, whether you’re navigating tension with a partner, feeling stuck in old communication dynamics, or healing relational wounds.
• Building a new kind of connection, where you feel seen, understood, and supported, no matter your relationship style or structure.
• Exploring and healing the "language" of your relational patterns, and rewriting the narrative where needed.

Together, we’ll work through conflict, repair connection, and move toward relationships that feel more aligned with your true self.

Relationships can bring deep joy and deep pain. I specialize in supporting couples and individuals through pre-marital counseling, affair recovery, and betrayal trauma. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s happened, repair trust, and build a stronger, more secure bond moving forward. 

I specialize in supporting adult individuals, partners, and families as they navigate love, intimacy, identity, and the many ways relationships take shape. This includes mother-daughter dynamics, blended families, chosen family systems, and connections that extend beyond traditional definitions. Whether your experiences are monogamous, non-monogamous, queer, kinky, questioning, or rooted in a desire to communicate with more honesty, there is room for you here. Intersectionality isn’t just a value for me; it’s part of how I move through the world. My lived experience allows me to show up with cultural humility, curiosity, and care. You don’t have to explain yourself here. You can arrive exactly as you are.

Whether you’re seeking a deeper connection, facing a rupture, or exploring who you want to be in a relationship, I welcome you without judgment and with deep respect for your truth. 

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Designed for deepening connection and intimacy in couples.
• Gottman Method Couples Therapy: A research-based approach that helps partners strengthen friendship, improve communication, and manage conflict while building trust, intimacy, and shared meaning in their relationship. 
• Narrative Therapy: Helping you reshape your story to reflect the changes you wish to make in your relationships.
• Trauma-Informed Care: I recognize how past relational wounds can shape current dynamics.
• Queer-Affirming, Kink-Aware, CNM-Literate Care: Fully supportive of all identities, dynamics, and consensual non-monogamous and kink-affirming relationships. 

I center Black love because I believe it is both resilient and restorative. In all its forms, romantic, familial, and communal Black love holds the power to heal, reimagine, and restore connection. My work is rooted in the belief that when Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ people are given spaces to be fully seen and affirmed, healing ripples outward to strengthen entire communities.

As racial and sexual minorities, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients often carry the weight of being unseen, misunderstood, or fragmented in spaces that overlook their complexity. I know how vital it is to find a therapist who honors every intersection of who you are. In our work together, I hold space for all parts of your identity, race, culture, gender, sexuality, and lived experience because each part deserves to belong. Whether you come alone, as partners, or as a family, my hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel witnessed, connected, and free to love in all the ways that are true to you.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help us determine if we’re a good fit. This is not a therapy session, but a space to ask questions, share what you’re seeking, and get a feel for my approach before beginning our work together.
