Reconnect. Repair. Grow —Together

Every relationship faces challenges. Whether you're feeling disconnected, stuck in the same arguments, or unsure how to move forward after a rupture, couples therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and begin again with intention.

Creating Space for Connection

I work with couples to help them slow down and tune into what’s really happening beneath the surface—individually and together. Using evidence-based strategies, we explore patterns that cause pain, habits that create distance, and the deeper needs and hopes each person brings to the relationship.

This work isn’t about assigning blame or keeping score. It’s about learning how to stay present with each other, especially when things get hard. It’s about having honest conversations with care, rebuilding trust where it's been shaken, and rediscovering what brings you together.

Together, we’ll work to:

    •    Recognize and shift stuck patterns

    •    Communicate with clarity, curiosity, and compassion

    •    Strengthen emotional connection

    •    Navigate conflict with less reactivity and more understanding

    •    Reconnect with the shared values that anchor your relationship

Common Challenges We Can Work Through

    •    Communication breakdowns

    •    Emotional disconnection

    •    Recurring arguments or unresolved conflict

    •    Life transitions and stress

    •    Infidelity or loss of trust

    •    Differences in needs, priorities, or expectations

You don’t have to have all the answers—you just need a willingness to show up, stay open, and take small steps toward change.

Couples therapy offers a grounded, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s working, what’s hurting, and what’s possible for your relationship.

For Couples Navigating Parenthood

Relationships go through seasons—some joyful, some challenging, many a mix of both. Whether you're adjusting to life with a new baby, blending families, facing parenting stress, or preparing for an empty nest, these transitions can test even the strongest partnerships.

Big life changes often bring up old patterns, unspoken expectations, or new disagreements. You may find yourselves feeling distant, overwhelmed, or unsure how to support each other while also trying to hold everything together.

Couples therapy offers a space to pause and reconnect. Together, we'll explore what’s working, what feels stuck, and how you can navigate this chapter as a team—with more clarity, compassion, and intention.

You don’t have to go through these changes alone—or disconnected from each other. With the right support, this can be a time of deep growth and renewed connection.

I work with clients from all walks of life, offering inclusive and nonjudgmental support for clients of all identities, backgrounds, and experiences.
