Couples Therapy
- Are you feeling disconnected, alone, or misunderstood in your relationship?
- Is the constant arguing or bickering getting tiresome?
- Are you feeling emotionally distant and sexually indifferent?
- Are you and your partner not communicating well, often leaving you both feeling defensive, unseen or misunderstood?
- Has trust been compromised?
- Need support in navigating a co-parenting relationship?
- Need guidance to separate in a collaborative and peaceful way?
MY APPROACH
Couples therapy is a safe and supportive space to explore what’s working, whats not working, address challenges, and move from disconnection to create a deeper, more fulfilling connection. Together, we focus on healing, understanding, and finding clarity to help your relationship grow into the partnership you both want.
I integrate PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) techniques to guide couples toward deeper connection, understanding, and lasting intimacy. These approaches are grounded in attachment theory, neuroscience, and emotion regulation, helping you and your partner better understand yourselves and each other.
I work with couples of all orientations, including heterosexual, same-sex, and LGBTQ+ couples, creating an inclusive and judgment-free environment where every relationship is respected and supported.
Feel empowered to grow together as a couple and reconnect as a team. In therapy, you’ll explore patterns, childhood experiences, past traumas, and insecurities that may be impacting your relationship. You’ll learn practical skills to nurture mutual care, reduce conflict, heal from infidelity, communicate your needs in ways that help you feel heard, seen, and valued, and rekindle intimacy and sexual desire. By strengthening teamwork, emotional safety, and connection, you can deepen your bond and build a stronger, more secure, and lasting partnership.
Through couples therapy, you and your partner can create the secure, thriving relationship you desire.
Schedule a session today to start building the loving, resilient, and connected relationship you’ve been hoping for.
You may be coming in for counseling to help you do one of the hardest things you’ve ever done- to uncouple and separate from a person you once and possibly even still love. I will help you do this in a caring and empowering way so you both understand how you got here, minimize blame, find acknowledgment, and express anger and hurt in a safe and supportive place. Divorce is a challenging process and so many feelings arise during that process. I can help you get through it so that the outcome is better for you and for your children (if you have kids). Separations and divorce can be peaceful and collaborative. The relationship you once had is worth a good ending.
