Relationship Therapy
Relationships rarely fall apart overnight.
Sometimes you're having the same argument over and over.
Sometimes you're walking on eggshells, unsure how another conversation will end.
Sometimes you miss your partner even though you live in the same home.
Or maybe you've stopped arguing altogether and simply feel more like roommates than partners.
These experiences can leave couples feeling lonely, frustrated, and unsure how they got here.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and begin creating new ways of connecting with one another.
The argument usually isn't the whole story.
Couples often come to therapy believing the problem is the conversation they keep having.
The dishes.
Money.
Parenting.
Sex.
Time together.
Those conversations matter, but they're rarely the real problem. More often, they're where deeper fears, unmet needs, and old wounds begin to surface.
Beneath recurring conflict are questions many partners quietly ask:
Do I matter to you?
Can I trust you'll be there when I need you?
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
Are we still on the same team?
My Approach
I don't believe relationships struggle because people stop loving one another.
More often, life gets complicated. Stress, parenthood, unresolved hurt, differences in desire, family dynamics, and the stories we carry about ourselves can slowly create distance between even the most loving partners.
My role isn't to decide who's right or wrong. It's to help you understand the patterns shaping your relationship and build new ways of connecting that feel authentic, intentional, and aligned with your shared values.
My work integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic and experiential interventions. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to the unique people, relationship, and goals sitting in front of me.
Couples come to therapy for many different reasons.
You don't need to wait until your relationship is in crisis to benefit from therapy.
Whether you're navigating recurring conflict, life transitions, changes in intimacy, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourselves and one another.
Some of the concerns I commonly work with include:
Recurring conflict and communication
Emotional disconnection
Differences in sexual desire or intimacy
Life transitions, including parenthood
Infidelity and rebuilding trust
Premarital counseling
Cultural differences
Consensual non-monogamy and other relationship structures
Strengthening emotional and physical intimacy
Relationships aren't meant to stay the same. As we move through different stages of life—becoming parents, changing careers, experiencing loss, or navigating shifts in intimacy—our relationships are asked to grow alongside us. Therapy offers space to understand those changes together and intentionally create the kind of relationship you want moving forward.
My hope for our work together
Therapy isn't about creating the "perfect" relationship.
Every relationship experiences moments of disconnection.
What matters is learning how to better understand one another, repair when hurt occurs, and create new patterns that foster connection over time.
My hope is that therapy becomes a place where difficult conversations become possible, where each partner feels heard, and where you leave with a deeper understanding of yourselves and each other.
Because meaningful change doesn't begin with having all the answers.
It begins with understanding.
Is Couples Therapy Right for Us?"
You don't have to be on the verge of separation to benefit from relationship therapy.
Many couples come because they want to strengthen an already solid relationship, navigate a new stage of life together, or address concerns before they become larger patterns.
Whether you're dating, engaged, married, or in another type of committed relationship, therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourselves, strengthen your connection, and approach your relationship with greater intention.
