Couples Therapy

Couples therapy provides a safe, supportive space where you and your partner can explore your relationship, including the tough topics—communication, trust, sex, and intimacy. Whether you’re facing challenges or just want to deepen your connection, therapy is a powerful tool for strengthening your bond and growing together.

In our work together, both partners will have the chance to openly express themselves without judgment. Using an integrative approach that blends Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and trauma-informed strategies, we’ll explore the patterns impacting your relationship, while also addressing sensitive issues like sex and intimacy with care and respect.

My approach is rooted in empathy, trust, and collaboration. We'll work to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild emotional and physical connection, helping you both navigate the complexities of love and intimacy in a way that fosters mutual respect and lasting change.

It’s Not About the Dishes

“If they leave one more dish in the sink, I’m gonna scream,” you think to yourself, silently sulking, convinced your partner was made just to purposely annoy you.

Sound familiar? Thankfully, you are not alone. Together, I can work with your relationship to address many common challenges. I can help empower you to have the kind of relationship you’ve always dreamed about. We’ll explore the obstacles you’re facing and uncover new ways to move through them, such as learning how to:

  • Navigate Life Changes Without Losing Each Other
    (Big moves, new jobs, parenting—your relationship should evolve with you)

  • Address the Invisible Mental Load
    (Because “just ask for help” doesn’t work when they don’t see the work to begin with)

  • Own Your Love Story
    (Whether you're monogamous, polyamorous, LGBTQIA+, or rewriting the rules, your relationship is valid)

  • Find the Fun Again
    (Relationships aren’t just about deep talks and compromise. Let’s get back to the joy)

  • Break the Cycle of the Same Dang Argument
    (You know, the one about dishes that’s definitely not just about dishes)

  • Learn to Fight Fair, Without Keeping Score
    (Because nobody wants to feel like they’re losing in their own relationship)

  • Rebuild Emotional Connection
    (Because love isn’t just about logistics and to-do lists)

  • Untangle the Mess of “We’re Just So Different”
    (Introvert vs. extrovert? Night owl vs. early bird? We’ll make it work)

  • Talk About the Hard Stuff Without a Meltdown
    (Money, kids, intimacy, boundaries—yep, we can go there)

  • Stop Communicating Like a Broken Wi-Fi Signal
    (Learn how to actually hear each other, instead of buffering mid-convo)

You aren’t broken. You deserve therapy that actually understands how your brain works.

Let’s make that happen.
