Relationship Challenges
Relationship difficulties are part of being human—and they often reflect unmet needs, unspoken pain, or the complex challenges of emotional intimacy. In a therapeutic space grounded in compassion and presence, we untangle communication patterns, build emotional literacy, and clarify what truly matters to you in connection with others. We work not only on repairing harm, but also on cultivating deeper intimacy. Every relationship challenge is an opportunity for personal growth and for creating relationships that are both authentic and resilient.
At our practice, we provide specialized support for relationships where autism, ADHD, anxiety, or OCD are part of the picture. These mental health challenges can create unique stress points around communication, emotional regulation, and sensory needs. Our approach is grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, evidence-based care that recognizes and respects each individual’s experience. Whether working with couples, families, polyamorous relationships, or individuals, we help clarify needs, reduce miscommunication, and strengthen connection.
