Rebuild Connection, Deepen Intimacy, Communicate Better
Even the strongest relationships can lose their footing. Maybe you’re feeling like roommates instead of partners. Maybe you’re stuck in the same arguments, over and over. Or maybe there’s been a rupture—like an affair or other betrayal—and you’re wondering if it’s even possible to find your way back to each other.
If your relationship feels disconnected, strained, or just not what it used to be, couples therapy can help you slow down, tune in, and begin to reconnect—with clarity, compassion, and intention.
I work with couples in all stages of life and love: married, dating, cohabiting, separated, remarried, LGBTQ+, and more. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or simply wanting more intimacy, you don’t have to do it alone.
Issues Couples Therapy Can Help With:
-
Communication breakdowns
-
Emotional or physical disconnection
-
Conflict that escalates or goes unresolved
-
Infidelity and affair recovery
-
Loss of intimacy and desire
-
Life transitions (parenthood, infertility, relocation, illness, retirement)
-
Trauma—individual or shared—impacting the relationship
-
Differences in parenting, values, or future vision
Evidence-Based & Emotionally Grounded Support
My approach blends proven techniques with deep emotional insight. Drawing from my training in The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Esther Perel, Tammy Nelson (sex informed therapy), EFFT, trauma-informed care, and attachment-based models, I help couples not only manage conflict but understand the core needs and fears that often drive it.
We’ll work on building concrete skills—like how to truly listen, de-escalate arguments, and speak to be heard. But we’ll also go deeper, to explore patterns of disconnection, unmet needs, and the vulnerable places that often go unspoken.
This isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about understanding your relationship as a dynamic system—and learning how to shift it together.
Why Work With Me?
In addition to years of clinical experience, I bring a strong foundation in relationship science and emotional theory, plus a real-world understanding of how complex and layered love can be. My work is trauma-aware, attachment-oriented, and rooted in both research and lived experience.
Whether you’re healing from infidelity, feeling stuck in cycles of criticism and withdrawal, or trying to reconnect after a major life change—there is a path forward. And we’ll walk it at your pace, together.
You Don’t Have to Settle for Disconnection
You deserve a relationship that feels alive, supportive, and resilient. Even if things feel far off-track, there is hope. Couples therapy is not about “fixing” you or your partner—it’s about helping the relationship itself become a source of strength again.
