Relationship Repair - Yep, We Go There

Therapy for rebuilding trust, deepening intimacy, and navigating emotional disconnection

When communication breaks down and emotional needs go unmet, those in relationships can start to feel lonely, misunderstood, or disconnected. As a relationship therapist specializing in affirming, inclusive care, I support individuals and partners of all kinds—monogamous, open/non-monogamous, queer, polyamorous, kinky, and more—in rebuilding trust, deepening intimacy, and navigating triggers with compassion.

Whether you're facing a major life transition or craving more connection, relationship therapy can help you feel more understood, empowered, and satisfied. Relationships don’t just happen—they’re built with intention, repair, and truth. I work with folx who are reimagining attraction, unpacking old narratives, and shaping relationships that truly feel good—for who they are, how they love, and what they value.

Relationships, Plural: Open, Poly, and More

Supportive therapy for polyamorous, open, and consensually non-monogamous relationships—providing tele-therapy in Towson, Baltimore, and across Maryland

One size fits all? Not exactly. Non-monogamy comes in a dozen flavors—polyamory, open relationships, swinging, solo poly, kitchen-table setups—and yes, sometimes it’s just about sex. Whether you're curious, committed, or somewhere in between, therapy can help you explore agreements, avoid common traps, and navigate the emotional (and logistical) terrain of loving and lusting beyond the dyad.

Because let’s be real: thriving in non-traditional relationships takes more than good intentions—it takes trust, communication, and space to get honest about what works for you. This work is rooted in nonjudgmental support, language that fits, and a therapist who understands that love can look many ways—and that all of them deserve respect. Here are some areas we could explore together.

Navigating jealousy, boundaries, and unmet needs

Building trust across multiple relationships

Understanding consensual non-monogamy and relational dynamics like polycules, nesting partners, and metamours

Working through stigma, marginalization, or internalized doubt

Curious, Common, and Deeply Valid

Polyamory isn't fringe—it's practiced by millions and increasingly reflected in research, community spaces, and everyday relationships. It shows up in lived experiences, not just theoretical conversations. Below are some stats that highlight the scope, complexity, and visibility of non-monogamy in the U.S.—so you can ground your curiosity in real data and feel seen if this path is yours.

4–5%

4–5% of Americans currently identify as polyamorous.

(This estimate comes from multiple sources,including the Gitnux Market Data Report 2025, which note that 4–5% of U.S. adults are currently participating in consensual non-monogamous relationships, including polyamory).

1 in 9

1 in 9 have been in a polyamorous relationship; 1 in 6 are interested in trying it.

(These figures are from a 2021 study published in Frontiers in Psychology by Moors, Gesselman, and Garcia. The study surveyed over 3,000 single U.S. adults and found that 10.7% had engaged in polyamory, and 16.8% expressed interest in trying it).

21%

21% of U.S. adults say they’re open to a polyamorous relationship.

(This stat appears in the Gitnux Market Data Report, which cites that 21% of Americans know someone who identifies as polyamorous and that 20–25% are open to or have experimented with polyamory).

25%

Among LGBTQ+ respondents, up to 25% have practiced polyamory.

(According to the Kinsey Institute’s national survey, up to 25% of LGBTQ+ respondents have practiced polyamory—significantly higher than the general population’s 4–5%).

Communication & Conflict-“Wait... are we even speaking the same language?”

Relationship therapy for communication breakdowns, conflict resolution, and emotional repair

Fights happen—even between loving people. But do they end in deeper understanding or lingering resentment? Therapy offers a space to untangle how you argue, what triggers escalation, and how to repair in ways that feel validating and real—We’ll dig into how you express needs, listen without defensiveness, and move from talking at each other to talking with each other. Whether it’s daily friction or a pattern that’s wearing thin, therapy gives you tools to reconnect through honest, compassionate dialogue.

When communication breaks down, everything can feel fragile. Therapy can help you slow things down, get curious about how you each show up in hard moments, and rework patterns that leave you feeling unheard, triggered, or shut out. Whether it's mismatched needs, escalating fights, or stonewalling during conflict, we’ll untangle what’s happening underneath—and explore how to reconnect through clarity, compassion, and repair.

We might work through obstacles like:

Feeling emotionally flooded or shut down in conflict

Misunderstandings about autonomy, expectations, or emotional needs

Breaking the pattern of reactivity, silence, or constant tension

Rebuilding trust after secrecy, betrayal, or broken agreements

Relearning how to fight fair—and how to come back together after

Intimacy & Desire

Relational sex therapy for navigating intimacy and sexual expression

Maybe you’re craving more closeness. Maybe you’re navigating mismatched libido, the impact of trauma, or evolving needs across time or partners. Therapy offers space to explore emotional and physical intimacy on your terms—whether that means reconnecting after a dry spell, rediscovering desire, or unpacking what intimacy even looks like for you now. We might explore the following:

Discrepancies in sexual desire or mismatched libidos

Shifts in attraction. Learn how to navigate evolving dynamics in your relationship with compassion and clarity.

Navigating intimacy after trauma or body-based triggers

Redefining closeness in long-term or non-monogamous relationships

Talking openly about sex, touch, and emotional safety

Making space for autonomy alongside connection and care

This work isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about making intimacy feel safe, intentional, and affirming in the ways that matter most to you.

Identity & Transitions

Relationships don’t exist in a vacuum. Meaningful life changes—and transitions within the relationship itself—can reshape reality into something entirely new.

Therapy offers a grounded space to explore some of the concerns and curiosities shown below, supporting transformation, integration, and the continuous process of becoming.

Navigating coming out in new or established relationships

Supporting gender exploration within relational dynamics

Rebuilding relationship structure as identity or roles evolve

Pre-commitment questions: “Are we ready?” and “How do we know?”

Big milestones: cohabitation, marriage, parenting, blended families

Grief and growth over the long term

This work honors your wholeness and complexity—its not asking you to pick between self-discovery and relational connection, but rather being willing to look at how they both can work in tandem.
