Portland’s Lesbian and Queer Women’s Couples Counselor

Specializing in Couples Counseling for Lesbian and Queer Women in the PNW since 2018

Welcome!

If you’ve found yourself here it’s likely because you are a Queer Woman who is struggling in relationship. You are partnered with a wonderful person, and the two of you have established a strong connection, but you keep having the same arguments over and over again. It’s gotten to a point where you’re wary of even bringing things up knowing that talking will likely lead to a fight and you will both end up feeling even more disconnected than before. Neither of you feel seen, heard, appreciated or understood. You feel blamed and at times even attacked. And it’s impacting your quality of life. You’ve found that after an argument, it’s difficult to move on and tackle the daily tasks of living. You find yourself ruminating about what was and was not expressed. You feel physically exhausted and it’s difficult to focus. You want to repair with your partner but don’t know how to have the conversation in a way that she will hear or understand.

I’m glad that you’re here. It’s time that you and your partner try a different approach to your communication. With over a decade of experience working with Queer Couples and Families, I have cultivated a strong collection of therapeutic tools to assist you and your partner in fostering healing and creating lasting change.
