Navigate ethical non-monogamy, boundary design, and multi-partner care with absolute clarity.
Whether opening up a partnership, balancing multiple partners, managing jealousy, or navigating complex polycule dynamics (triads, networks, or open arrangements), we offer knowledgeable, non-judgmental guidance built specifically for non-monogamous love.

Dismantle burnout, process minority stress, and unburden perfectionism.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and somatic integration, we help tech founders, venture capitalists, engineering leaders, and creatives navigate intense work expectations, impostor syndrome, and relational health.

Break out of conflict loops and cultivate emotional, structural, and erotic safety.
Utilizing adapted Gottman Method strategies and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we tailor relationship counseling specifically to queer partnerships—addressing desire mismatches, communication breakdowns, and attachment security without heteronormative assumptions.

Heal deep relational wounds and body-held stress with specialized trauma modalities.
From past family-of-origin rejection and religious trauma to high-visibility executive stress, our trauma-informed approach provides a safe, grounded space for deep healing and long-term resilience.
