Relationship Counseling 

For optimum health and satisfaction, our relationships require care and maintenance. We often find that many things have gotten in the way of caring for our relationships and we find ourselves dissatisfied, at odds with our partners, and unable to communicate effectively.

Over time, just as individuals and circumstances change, so do relationships. People sometimes feel uncertain about how to connect with their partners during these transitions and often find that therapy can be a helpful tool.

Relationship counseling provides a nonjudgmental and healing space to understand the obstacles in your relationship as well as skilled guidance to practice healthy relationship tools.  

 

Many partners seek counseling to address the following: 

  • communicating with each other (both expressing needs and being able to listen effectively)

  • learning how to connect (emotionally, sexually, as companions, etc.)

  • dealing with transitions (parenthood, empty nest, new job)

  • facing a partner's illness together

  • sexual difficulties

  • facing infidelity, infertility, loss, etc.

  • pre-marital counseling

  • choosing to end a relationship

 

I am honored to provide services to people of all sexual orientations, and with the relationship structure of their choosing. I have assisted those in relationships who subscribe to a variety of structures including monogamy and polyamory.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. You will receive a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

*A sliding fee scale exists for a limited number of clients who demonstrate financial hardship. Please don't hesitate to inquire about this option if your current financial situation warrants it.
