Relationships & Non-Monogamy
Relationships can bring up some of our deepest fears and insecurities. You may be questioning whether you want to stay in a relationship, struggling with jealousy or comparison, or unsure whether your needs are compatible with your partner's. Maybe you have opened your relationship and are finding it harder than expected, or you are considering non-monogamy and wondering whether it is genuinely right for you.
I work with individuals and couples navigating open relationships, polyamory, and other non-traditional partnerships. We can explore what you want, what gets in the way of communicating it, and the patterns that shape how you connect with others.
Intimacy, Sex & Attachment
You may want more closeness while also finding yourself pulling away, becoming anxious, or struggling to trust your partner. Sex, desire, attachment, and vulnerability can bring up complicated feelings, especially when you are trying to understand what you want and how to communicate it.
Therapy can help you explore your patterns around intimacy, sex, desire, attachment, and emotional connection. We can look at how earlier relationships and experiences may continue to influence the way you connect with people today.
Anxiety, Self-Esteem & Identity
Maybe you spend a lot of time in your head, analyzing conversations, questioning your decisions, or wondering whether something is wrong with you or your relationship. Anxiety, shame, and low self-esteem can make it difficult to trust yourself and feel secure in your relationships.
We can explore the deeper experiences and patterns contributing to these feelings while also making space for questions around sexuality, identity, belonging, and self-expression. As a gay Jewish man, I understand that identity can be deeply connected to relationships, family, culture, and community.
Family-of-Origin
The way you learned to relate to yourself and others often begins in your earliest relationships. Family dynamics can shape how you handle conflict, intimacy, boundaries, rejection, and emotional vulnerability long after you have left home.
Together, we can explore how those experiences may be showing up in your relationships today and whether old patterns are still influencing the choices you make.
