Couples & Relational Therapy
Relationships sometimes become stagnant, gridlocked in conflict, and leave partners unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I’m a couple and family therapist by training and use a systemic approach to help couples reconnect, realign, enhance their bond, and navigate challenges and complexities in their relationships.
Issues I help with
authentic, congruent, and honest communication
life transitions
multicultural or interracial dynamics
emotional and physical intimacy
blended families
boundaries
loss and grief
infidelity and breach of trust

Couples therapy is private pay only. I don't accept insurance or provide superbills for couples sessions. Insurance is built around a medical model of treatment, which makes it hard for clients and clinicians alike to bill for relational concerns.
Insurance will typically cover a session involving both partners only when all of the following are true:
One partner is the identified patient and has a mental health diagnosis
The primary purpose of treatment is addressing that individual's diagnosed condition
The other partner is participating to support the identified patient's treatment
Couples therapy with me focuses on the relationship itself rather than one partner's diagnosis, so it doesn't meet these criteria. I understand this can be frustrating, and I wish insurance plans offered more meaningful coverage for relationship care.

I have a limited amount of sliding scale rates on a first-come, first-serve basis primarily to folks with marginalized identities (BIPOC, class, LGBTQIA+, etc.). Please enquire at hello@beingwiththerapy.co.
