Relationships are hard.
I’m here to help.
Compassionate couples therapy for complex moments. Whether you’re rebuilding after betrayal, stuck in painful cycles, growing apart or navigating new identities, desires, or relationship structures, I help couples slow down, make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward.

It’s time to have the relationship you desire.
I’ll help you change the rules, beliefs, or patterns that have gotten your relationship stuck.
When you find what you’re doing now just isn’t sustainable, I’ll help you make real progress towards authentic growth.
Traditional “talk” therapy teaches you surface-level adjustments that might feel good temporarily, but they don’t create lasting change. A change that your relationship might need right now in order to thrive for years to come.
At People Not Problems, I work with couples as a whole. We dig into root causes and rewrite the rules and roles of the entire system, not just one individual.
See if this deep change is what your relationship needs,
I offer a variety of weekly and intensive style therapy sessions for couples:
-
My work with couples is grounded in Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and family systems approaches.
Rather than focusing only on behaviors or communication skills, we look at the relational system you’re part of — the rules, roles, and protective patterns that shape how you relate.
This isn’t about fixing one person. It’s about creating conditions where both partners can feel seen, heard, and more connected to themselves and each other.
Together, we work to:
Understand recurring relational patterns
Explore emotional and attachment dynamics
Create space for honest, safer conversations
Support changes that feel authentic and sustainable
-
Where change happens in days, not years. Transform your relationship through a 30-day couples therapy intensive designed for real, lasting change, not surface fixes or false promises. This work is for couples and families who already understand their patterns… and know that understanding alone isn’t changing them.
-
Rebuild trust, repair connection, and create a new relational structure that actually works, even after betrayal. This is intensive couples therapy for relationships impacted by infidelity, secrecy, emotional betrayal, or profound disconnection offered in weekly or 30-day formats for couples who need focused, expert support now.
-
Thoughtful, kink-affirming therapy for individuals, couples, and relationships navigating desire, power, intimacy, and connection, without shame or explanation required. If you’re looking for a therapist in Boulder who can meet you where you are, without pathologizing your sexuality or asking you to educate them, you’re in the right place.
-
If you’re exploring opening your relationship, CNM, polyamory, and want a therapist who can hold complexity without judgment or pathology — you’re in the right place. I offer poly-affirming therapy in Boulder for couples, individuals, and polycules navigating relational possibilities.
Is this for you?
This work tends to resonate if you’re in a relationship where:
You feel unheard or your partner tells you they feel unheard
You desire intimacy, but it plays hide and seek
You have ‘things’, but trouble connecting with your actual desires
You feel stuck in patterns that once protected you, but your relationship now feels suffocating
You may be navigating:
The aftermath of betrayal, unsure whether trust can be rebuilt
Conversations you’ve avoided for years about desire, identity, or opening your relationship
A growing distance — no amount of date nights can bridge
One partner who thinks therapy is bullshit, but knows something has to change
