couples therapy

I help partners who are ready to move from disconnection, resentment, and shutdown to deeper understanding, emotional safety, and real intimacy. Together, we’ll move past surface-level solutions towards real healing.

Using a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I support couples in getting honest, staying soft, and rebuilding trust — even after years of conflict or distance. Whether you’re stuck in reactive cycles, struggling to communicate, or healing after betrayal, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I am also committed to creating a deeply affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and relationship constellations. I am committed to social justice, inclusive care, and creating a therapeutic home for those who have been marginalized or misunderstood. I have completed specialized training in Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) through the Empowering Pathways Continuing Education Program, and I am trained to support polyamorous, open, and non-traditional relationship structures with nuance, respect, and clinical competence.

I am here to hold space for the hard stuff, challenge the stuck stuff, and celebrate the courageous work of real love — in all the ways love can look.

In our work, you’ll learn more about:

  • Communication and conflict patterns: misunderstandings, reactive cycles, shutdown/withdrawal, criticism, defensiveness, blame, and pursue–withdraw dynamics.

  • Emotional disconnection: feeling like roommates, long-term distance, or struggles with intimacy—emotional or physical.

  • Trust, betrayal, and vulnerability: infidelity recovery, rebuilding safety, jealousy, insecurity, and attachment wounds that show up between partners.

  • Unresolved resentment and unmet needs: repeated conflicts, past hurts, and patterns that keep partners stuck.

  • Life transitions and external stressors: moves, parenthood, grief, illness, job changes, or blending families and co-parenting.

  • Substance use and its impact on the relationship: navigating repair, boundaries, and reconnection.

  • Support for ENM relationships: communication agreements, boundary negotiation, jealousy work, and strengthening connection across diverse relationship structures.
