Relationship Workshops
Strong relationships don’t fall apart because people don’t care. They struggle because, for many, we were never taught how to stay connected when emotions run high, stress builds, or old patterns get triggered.
In Salt Lake City, my relationship workshops are designed for couples who want to reconnect, learn practical tools, and deepen their emotional bond.
These workshops provide a safe, supportive space to gain insight into your relationship while learning practical tools you can immediately use to make real changes.

Couples Workshops
Learn the skills. Practice together.
What these workshops are
Couples workshops in Salt Lake City, Utah are 4-hour, skills-based, psychoeducational experiences with guided partner exercises. They are designed to help couples strengthen communication, increase emotional safety, and practice new ways of relating in a structured and supportive group setting.
Workshops are intentionally kept small (maximum 8 couples) to support safety, connection, and meaningful practice.
Workshops are educational and experiential, not couples therapy. You’ll be learning alongside other couples, which often helps normalize common struggles and reduce shame while practicing new skills in real time.

LGBTQ+ Workshops
Queer-Centered Relationship Support
These LGBTQ+ workshops in Salt Lake City, Utah are designed specifically for queer, trans, and gender-diverse couples who want practical relationship skills in a space that truly understands their lived reality. This is not standard couples therapy with inclusive language layered on — the structure, assumptions, and pace of the work are built around LGBTQ+ experience from the ground up.
We recognize that many LGBTQ+ relationships develop without clear cultural templates, and that minority stress, visibility concerns, family rejection or conditional acceptance, and internalized shame can deeply affect communication, emotional regulation, and conflict.
WHAT MAKES THIS LGBTQ-AFFIRMATIVE
Not Based on Heteronormative Relationship Models
Your relationship is not measured against straight, cisgender, or traditional norms.
We do not assume fixed roles, linear relationship paths, monogamy as default, or a single “right” way to be a couple.
This work meets your relationship where it actually is.
Minority Stress Is Explicitly Addressed
We actively account for how minority stress shows up in relationships — including hypervigilance, conflict escalation, shutdown, people-pleasing, fear of being “too much,” or fear of being harmful.
You don’t have to educate your therapist or justify why these dynamics matter.
Affirming of Queer, Trans, and Non-Traditional Relationships
These workshops are designed to support:
- queer, trans, and gender-diverse couples
- couples outside traditional relationship scripts
- partners navigating identity, visibility, safety, or family dynamics
Your relationship gets to define itself — not conform to external expectations.
Facilitated by a Queer Therapist
This work is facilitated by a therapist who identifies as a lesbian / queer person. You are not being translated, corrected, or subtly evaluated through a heteronormative lens. This allows the work to go deeper, faster, and with less guarding.
