You and your partner are struggling with communication breakdowns, codependent patterns, trust issues, or the ways childhood trauma is showing up in your relationship.
Whether you're navigating a monogamous partnership, polyamorous relationships, or ethically nonmonogamous connections, you deserve support that truly understands your unique journey.
The somatic approach to couples work recognizes something often overlooked in traditional therapy: your relationship lives in your body. From the tightness in your chest during conflict to the warmth you feel during moments of deep connection, your nervous system is constantly responding to your partnership dynamics. For neurodivergent and queer folks, this body-based awareness becomes even more crucial as we navigate relationships outside of conventional societal scripts.
It’s time for you to heal and rediscover your dependency and autonomy.
Redefining Healthy Interdependence
When we commit to partnership—whether with one person or multiple partners—there will always be some degree of interdependence. That's the nature of intimate connection. However, each relationship constellation has its own unique balance of autonomy and dependency. For polyamorous and ethically nonmonogamous folks, this balance becomes even more complex as you navigate multiple connections while maintaining your individual identity.
What matters isn't conforming to society's narrow definition of "healthy" relationships, but finding the rhythm that works for you and your partner(s). This balance will naturally shift through different seasons of your relationship, especially when facing challenges like trauma responses, neurodivergent needs, or major life transitions.
Childhood trauma and codependency create operating systems that often leave us feeling like we're always doing relationships "wrong." For queer and neurodivergent folks, this struggle is compounded by messages from society that our ways of loving and connecting are somehow flawed. These intersecting experiences can show up as:
Hyper-vigilance around your partner's moods or needs
Difficulty setting boundaries or asking for what you need
Patterns of people-pleasing that leave you feeling resentful
Shutting down or disconnecting when conflict arises
Taking responsibility for your partner's emotions
Struggling with trust, even with partners who are consistently safe
A Somatic Approach to Partnership Healing
My approach to couples work goes beyond talking about your patterns—we bring your felt sensations into the room and allow your nervous systems to guide the healing process.
This means learning to:
> Notice what's happening in your body during difficult conversations
> Develop co-regulation skills so you can support each other's nervous systems
> Practice staying present with discomfort instead of shutting down or escalating
> Build communication skills that honor both your neurodivergent needs and your relationship dynamics
I work with partnerships across the full spectrum of relationship styles, including:
Monogamous couples navigating trauma and codependency
Polyamorous partners managing multiple relationships while healing individual patterns
Ethically nonmonogamous folks building trust and communication across their relationship network
Queer couples dismantling heteronormative relationship expectations
Neurodivergent partnerships where different processing styles and sensory needs require unique approaches
I understand that polyamorous and ethically nonmonogamous relationships face additional complexities around time management, jealousy, communication across multiple partners, and navigating different relationship agreements. These dynamics require specialized support that honors your chosen relationship structure while addressing underlying trauma and codependency patterns.
Throughout my 8 years in somatic psychotherapy, I've witnessed countless couples transform their relationships by learning to have the hard conversations that lead to deeper intimacy, joy, and authentic connection. When you're no longer walking on eggshells or losing yourself in your partner's emotions, there's so much more space for play, pleasure, and genuine partnership.
