Helping heal attachment wounds in relationship
You Don’t Have to Navigate Relationships Alone
Whether you're a neurodivergent, queer, or otherwise eclectic couple, relationships can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even lonely, especially when your communication styles don’t seem to land the way you intend.
Have you been told you’re too direct, too sensitive, too much?
Communication with your friends, family, and partner may feel like you are walking through an unknown minefield. Things don't quite go the way you imagined they would, or tensions rise quickly, and it's hard to return to a calm place.
There's conflict or disconnection, and it’s hard to know what’s yours and what’s a reaction to being misunderstood again and again.
Feral Therapy can be a place where we shift that narrative.


Being in a relationship where you process the world differently from your partner can bring up tension, misattunement, and a lot of emotional noise.
You might feel like you’re trying, but it’s still not working.
You might find yourselves stuck in the same loop, unsure how to interrupt it.
Some Common Things I see with Couples:
Communication Breakdowns
Executive Function Differences
Emotional Regulation and Shutdowns
Differing Social Needs or Interests
Expression of Love and Care that looks different for each person
Masking Stress
Feeling Misunderstood
Together, we’ll practice communicating in ways that feel more supportive and sustainable.
