“The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships.”
Welcome to Relational & Sexual Health Initiative!
Our philosophy is centered on the importance of connection. At R & S Health Initiative, we help people work towards improved connection within themselves, their relationships, and their sexuality. We are passionate about helping people create change in their lives that transcends the individual and results in systemic change for yourself and your relationships. We celebrate diverse perspectives and experiences, and work with you to identify your values. Therapy sessions are always customized to your therapy goals, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We are committed to exploring what makes you and your relationships unique, and to meeting your needs and desires for positive change.
Our approach to therapy utilizes the biopsychosocial model of mental health and wellbeing to understand how we show up in our lives and our relationships. Clients will work collaboratively with their therapist through evidence-based approaches to increase insight and understanding of how your mind, body, and attachment styles influence your quality of life and relationships. You will begin to develop new skills and resources to grow and develop increased relationship and life satisfaction, meeting you where you are every step of the way.

Couples
Relationships are one of the most important and influential parts of our lives. They can bring us support, joy, excitement, connection, and even pain. When couples find themselves struggling, it is often related to themes of closeness/connection, respect/recognition, or even power/control.

Trauma
Most people will experience a stressful, distressing, or traumatic event in their lifetime. When distressing life events occur, it can change how our minds and bodies relate and respond to the world around us. Trauma is painful and can impact many areas of life, such as relationships, work, family, hobbies, school, and our overall feeling of safety.
