It’s time to feel more secure and grounded in your relationship.

Couples Therapy that reconnects.

Guidance and accountability, so you can create lasting change- not repeat the same patterns.

Do you find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, even though you both care deeply and want things to feel better?

Maybe there’s been a specific rupture—a betrayal, a major transition, or a moment that changed how safe the relationship feels. Or perhaps nothing dramatic has happened, but over time you’ve noticed more distance, tension, or miscommunication creeping in.

You may be exhausted from trying to “fix” things on your own, or frustrated that conversations quickly turn into conflict or shutdown. Perhaps you’re feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or quietly worried about what will happen if something doesn’t change.

Whatever you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact in every area of your life:

Struggling to stay present and focused at work
Feeling on edge, resentful, or emotionally drained at home
Carrying relationship stress into other friendships or family relationships

Couples therapy can help you do three essential things:

Understand the patterns and emotional dynamics that keep you stuck

Couples therapy helps you understand the emotional cycles that pull you apart, especially in moments of stress or vulnerability. These patterns often develop as attempts to protect the relationship or yourself, even when they no longer work. By seeing the cycle as the problem—not each other—you can begin to respond with more empathy, clarity, and care.

01

Learn how to communicate needs, boundaries, and emotions more effectively

Therapy supports you in learning how to express needs, feelings, and limits in ways that foster closeness rather than conflict. You’ll practice communicating from a place of openness and self-awareness, while also learning how to hear and respond to your partner more fully. Over time, conversations feel safer, more connected, and less driven by fear of rejection or loss.

02

Develop tools to navigate conflict and rebuild trust and connection

It is normal to feel the full range of emotions in our most intimate relationships. Couples therapy offers tools that help you stay emotionally engaged during difficult moments and find your way back to one another after disconnection. With support, you can learn how to repair ruptures, rebuild trust, and strengthen your sense of emotional safety. As trust grows, conflict becomes less threatening and connection more resilient.

03

It may feel impossible right now, but you can reconnect with your partner.
You can communicate more clearly and calmly.

My approach:

I’ll guide you through this process with care, structure, and intention—tailoring each step to your unique relationship and circumstances. My approach to couples therapy comes from a place of curiosity and compassion: believing that neither partner is “the problem,” but that the cycle between you is what needs attention.
I don’t keep secrets. We might meet separately when it’s identified as helpful by all parties, but that content will be shared back with the other partner(s).
I can help “translate” at least at first. Sometimes wounds are so deep that we speak without care or hear only the worst version of what our partner is trying to say. I help bridge communication divides while rebuilding the foundation for you to do this without me.

Build Shared Understanding

Couples therapy begins with a careful assessment of your relationship, including your history, strengths, and the recurring patterns that create distress. We work to develop a shared understanding of how differences, stressors, and emotional sensitivities interact to fuel conflict. This phase helps shift the focus from blame toward curiosity and insight.

01 Build Acceptance and Emotional Flexibility

As patterns become clearer, therapy focuses on increasing understanding and acceptance of each other’s experiences, vulnerabilities, and differences. This doesn’t mean tolerating harm or giving up on change; rather, it creates emotional safety and flexibility. From this foundation, couples often find it easier to respond with empathy instead of defensiveness.

02 Strengthen Connection

With greater awareness and acceptance in place, therapy supports meaningful behavioral change that aligns with each partner’s values and needs. Couples practice new ways of communicating, navigating conflict, and staying emotionally engaged during difficult moments. Over time, these changes help strengthen trust, connection, and resilience in the relationship.

FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS

Sessions are collaborative, structured, and focused on real change—not just talking in circles. We’ll explore the patterns you’re caught in, practice new ways of communicating, and work with emotions as they show up in the room. I often integrate experiential exercises alongside conversation, helping sessions feel both productive and grounded.
The length of therapy depends on your goals and the complexity of what you’re working through. Some couples come for focused, short-term work around a specific issue, while others choose longer-term therapy to address deeper relational patterns. We’ll check in regularly to make sure our work stays intentional and aligned with your needs. I’ve worked with couples for a few months to several years. There is no “normal.”
Couples who benefit most from my approach are motivated, reflective, and willing to look at their own role in the relationship dynamic—even when that feels uncomfortable. With extensive experience in trauma-informed couples work, I help partners move beyond blame and toward understanding and change.
Couples therapy is not about deciding who is right or wrong, but about understanding the patterns that keep you disconnected and supporting the emotional needs of both partners. I work to remain neutral and balanced so each person feels heard and understood. However, neutrality does not apply in situations involving abuse, coercion, or ongoing harm. Safety and accountability always come first, and I will be clear and direct if a relationship dynamic is unsafe.
Uncertainty or hesitation is very common, and it doesn’t mean therapy can’t be helpful. Couples therapy can provide a structured, supportive space to explore concerns, clarify goals, and understand each other more deeply. You don’t have to be equally motivated or certain at the start for the process to be meaningful. That being said, couples therapy isn’t the best way to “get your partner into therapy.”
Couples therapy can be helpful even when the future of the relationship feels unclear. Rather than pushing toward a specific outcome, I help you focus on increasing understanding, emotional honesty, and clarity. Many couples find that this process helps them make thoughtful, grounded decisions—whether that means strengthening the relationship or navigating change with care and respect.
This is a very painful situation that can take many forms (sexual, financial, emotional). It doesn’t have to mean the end of the relationship. I’ve helped couples work through infidelity to rebuild trust and connection.
