LGBTQ+ Couples Therapy
Affirming online therapy for queer and trans partners in Texas, Colorado, and Michigan
Every couple hits rough patches. Queer and trans couples often carry some extra weight on top of the usual stuff: families who don't fully accept you, being out in some places and not others, or one partner's identity shifting in ways neither of you saw coming.
In couples therapy with me, you won't have to explain your relationship or defend it. As a queer therapist, I get the context. That means we can spend our time on what's actually happening between the two of you.
What couples bring to therapy
Feeling disconnected. You love each other, but you've started to feel more like roommates.
The same fight on repeat. Different topic, same painful pattern.
Coming out or transition. One partner coming out, questioning, or transitioning, and figuring out what that means for both of you.
Family and outness. Different comfort levels with being out, or family tension that follows you home.
Intimacy and desire. Mismatched needs, changes in your sex life, or exploring kink together.
Big decisions. Moving in, marriage, kids, opening up, or deciding whether to stay together.
How couples therapy works
We start with a session together to understand your story, what's working, and where you feel stuck. From there, we slow the conversation down so each of you can actually hear the other, especially in the moments that usually go sideways.
I draw from AEDP, Family Systems, and ACT. I don't take sides, and I'll gently name patterns when I see them. Expect warmth, honesty, and some humor along the way. Sessions are online, and both partners need to be located in Texas, Colorado, or Michigan during our sessions.
I also offer premarital sessions for couples who want to build strong habits before the wedding, not after the first big crisis.
Let’s Talk
Reaching out together can feel like a big step, especially if one of you is more ready than the other. That's normal. Let's start with a free consultation, just a quick, no pressure chat to see if we're a good fit.
