Dissolution & Discernment Counseling

Taking the step to explore the future of your relationship takes immense courage, especially when you find yourselves at a crossroads. Whether you are seeking Discernment Counseling to decide if your relationship can be repaired, or looking for support through a conscious Relationship Dissolution, my goal is to provide a dedicated, confidential space. Together, we will process the heavy emotions of uncertainty, honor both of your unique perspectives, and help you find a clear, respectful path forward—whatever that looks like for your future.

Fees & Insurance: Discernment & Dissolution

I believe in absolute transparency and removing the financial guesswork from this delicate crossroads, allowing both of you to focus your energy entirely on finding clarity.

💳 A Note on Insurance

Please be aware that health insurance plans do not cover discernment counseling or relationship dissolution work. Insurance requires a diagnosed, medically necessary mental health condition to fund treatment, whereas this specialized service focuses on relationship evaluation and structural transitions. Because of this, these sessions are strictly private pay.

⏱️ A Short-Term Container

Unlike traditional, ongoing couples therapy, discernment counseling is designed to be a highly focused, short-term process. We will work together for a maximum of up to 10 sessions to help you gain the clarity and confidence you need to make a definitive decision about your future path.

🔒 Private Pay Structure

I reserve a dedicated number of weekly openings for couples navigating relationship transitions. Fees are scaled to reflect regional market standards and are billed per session based on your state of residence:

My Approach

My approach is anchored in a simple, relieving truth: uncertainty, endings, and structural changes do not mean your relationship is a failure.

When a partnership reaches a painful crossroads, the patterns or defensive walls you are both experiencing are often just deep-seated attempts to find safety amidst immense stress. In our work together, we don’t shame the confusion or the desire to walk away. We look at your individual and collective realities with profound compassion, normalize the pain of being stuck, and help you gain the clarity needed to make the right choice for your future.

Simple ideas

Feeling completely torn between wanting to fix the relationship and wanting to leave is a deeply human experience. We don’t rush you out of your confusion; we create a safe, judgment-free space to look at both options honestly.

Lasting impact

Whether you choose to commit to deep relationship repair or move forward with a conscious dissolution, the lasting impact is the same: you will both step into your next chapter with the clarity and confidence to move forward without regret, blame, or unresolved trauma.

Our Sessions

I bring a unique lens to this delicate crossroads, combining deep, compassionate empathy with the ability to hold both of your perspectives simultaneously—even when you are pulling in completely different directions. In our sessions, there is no judgment for wanting to leave or wanting to stay. There is only room for the raw reality of your human experience as you navigate the heavy space between holding on and letting go.

I honor the high stakes of this process, intuitively knowing when you need a gentle push to strip away defensive walls and face the core truths of your relationship, and when you simply need me to sit with you in quiet, supportive silence as you process the weight of a decision, grieve an ending, or find the clarity to move forward.
