Couples Therapy

Understand & be understood. Connect on a deeper level.

Right now, it feels like you and your partner are moving through life on two entirely different wavelengths.

Maybe you’re in a long-term relationship that has fallen into less-than-ideal patterns. You have the same petty arguments over and over again. You cancel date nights and have mundane sex—if you have sex at all. You both end your days so stressed and exhausted that you don’t even have the energy to have a conversation with one another. It feels like your partner has changed from when you first got together, and you’re not sure you understand this version of them.

Or, you might be engaged or recently married, and wanting to work out the kinks in your relationship. You want to look forward to the forever that lies ahead—not live with the sinking feeling you currently have.

Maybe you find yourself thinking…

“I’ve read all the books and listened to the podcasts and we’re still stuck—I don’t know what else to do.”

“We’re like roommates these days, we only talk about logistics and the kids.”

“I feel unappreciated and insecure, but I’m too afraid to say anything.”

It’s time to make your relationship a priority in your daily lives. Let’s make room for connection.

How we’ll work together

Helping you climb out of the rut you’ve been stuck in.

The goal of this deep, intentional couples work is to help you both understand the cycle that’s been on repeat between you. Not just the symptoms, but the emotional undercurrent driving them. We’ll focus on building emotional connection, creating space for you both to speak honestly, and teaching you how to really hear each other without getting defensive or shutting down.

We won’t just look at one side of the story or the latest argument about chores—we’ll look at the full system between you. I’ll help you slow down, tune into what’s happening in real time, and develop a new way of communicating that feels safe, real, and productive. Once we’ve explored and identified your patterns, we can get clearer on both of your emotional needs and start building a new kind of connection based on empathy, trust, and mutual effort.

  • Rebuild emotional connection so you stop feeling like roommates and start feeling like loving partners again.

  • Learn how to show up for each other in the hard moments instead of pulling away or blowing up.

FAQs

  • I use an emotionally focused approach, which basically means we get beneath the arguments and talk about what’s really going on—like feeling unseen, alone, or overwhelmed. We won’t point fingers or keep score. We’ll work to understand what you’re both really needing but haven’t known how to say. To learn more about my overall approach, visit the about page.

  • Yes—sometimes I meet with each partner individually, but to prevent fostering any kind of bias, we’ll only do this one time each. It can be especially helpful if there are things you need space to process on your own, to bring clarity and make your time together in couples sessions more productive. But our focus will always come back to the relationship.

  • Absolutely. Infidelity can shake your sense of safety and trust to the core, but it doesn’t have to destroy what you’ve built. If both of you are willing to show up, be honest, and do the work, healing is possible. I help couples unpack the pain, rebuild emotional connection, and figure out what the future looks like—together or apart—with clarity and care. Learn more on the infidelity and betrayal page.

  • Nope, just show up willing to be honest, open, and ready to look at things a little differently. The only “prep” I really care about is that you're both committed to the process and willing to lean into some discomfort together. We’ll take it step by step, and I’ll help guide the conversation so neither of you feels lost. Through this slow, steady process, you can begin to reconnect in ways that feel meaningful.
