An eight-week virtual group for couples who want to move past the calendar, the to-do list, and the logistics — and back into the relationship itself. Psychoeducational with focused group discussion and weekly take-home practices. Couples in care with us and open-community pairs are both welcome.

Events I'm pulling together over the next year, mostly in Albany, mostly small, mostly outside what the local mental-health-events calendar usually covers. Sign up for the newsletter to know when registration opens.
Monthly low-cost open hour in the rented office space. Drop-in coffee, no agenda, no clinical work — just a space for queer, poly, and kink-adjacent folks to meet other people in the practice's orbit. Quiet, considered, no networking awkwardness.
A quarterly evening at a private venue. Shibari-curious adults: a short demonstration with educator credit, structured Q&A, then small-group conversation about communication, negotiation, and aftercare. Educational, not a play space.
Seasonal potluck gathering for ENM households in the Capital Region — partners, metamours, kitchen-table folks, parallel-poly people who don't usually meet each other's people. Bring a dish, bring whoever's yours, name tags optional.
Annual spring half-day at a local urban garden. Half permaculture instruction, half relational practice — turns out the way you talk to a partner about shared land mirrors the way you talk about almost everything. Hosted with a local farm partner.
Quarterly evening workshop on intentional cannabis use in intimate life — desire, sensation, communication, what works and what doesn't. Co-facilitated with a NY-licensed cannabis educator. Educational, not promotional, twenty-one plus only.
Monthly facilitated group conversation for people in the middle of separation or divorce. Not therapy, not a support group — a structured salon where people talk about the parts of separation no one else wants to hear about. Twelve-person cap.
Quarterly half-day premarital workshop specifically for queer couples preparing to marry. A version of the premarital intensive condensed into a Sunday morning, with a local queer-owned brunch spot built in. Twelve couples max.
Bi-monthly evening at a local bookstore or library. A short reading from a clinician-recommended book on intimacy or relationships, followed by structured small-group conversation. The book changes; the format doesn't. Co-hosted with the venue.
Annual two-night Hudson Valley retreat for ten couples (or ten polycule subsets, or ten individuals). Slow pace, three structured sessions, two free afternoons, one shared dinner. Limited registration; applications open in spring for fall.
Monthly virtual peer-consultation hour for other clinicians, social workers, coaches, and educators working with kink, ENM, queer, and non-traditional relationship structures. Case discussion, resource swap, mutual sanity-checking. Sliding scale.
Each of these is a turnkey virtual offering — written curriculum, fixed format, repeatable. Built to scale beyond what 1:1 caseload allows.
Two-hour virtual workshop for partners who realize they've never explicitly named what their relationship is. Worksheet included. Pairs well for newly-cohabiting, premarital, or opening couples. Cap: 20 couples.
Three-session virtual workshop over three weeks. For partnered people whose erotic life has been crowded out by the calendar. Structured sensate practice, communication tools, weekly homework. Cap: 12 couples.
Weekend virtual workshop (Saturday + Sunday, 3 hours each day) for couples or individuals considering non-monogamy. Covers structures, agreements, common pitfalls, and the readiness questions. Not a recruitment seminar. Cap: 25 attendees.
Four-week virtual workshop for partnered people bringing kink into their relationship for the first time. Negotiation, safe-words, the desire checklist, aftercare protocols. Co-taught with a kink educator. Cap: 10 couples.
Six-week virtual structured workshop. The slow, sequenced work of disclosure and repair after a breach — pace-conscious, trauma-aware, with separate-and-together work weekly. Pre-screening interview required. Cap: 6 couples.
Four-week virtual course for individuals or pairs working through separation or divorce. Not therapy — structured, practical, and explicitly oriented toward ending the partnership with as much integrity as the entry deserved. Cap: 15 attendees.
One-day virtual training for clinicians and coaches new to working with ENM, kink, and queer relationship structures. Six CEU hours pending. Repeats once yearly with updated material. Cap: 50 practitioners.
