Who is it for

Relationships can be beautiful and meaningful. They can also be confusing, frustrating, and simply exhausting. Maybe you're stuck in the same argument on repeat. Maybe things feel distant, tense, or just… off. You might be wondering: Are we okay? Can we find our way back to each other? Is this what relationships are supposed to feel like?

In couples therapy, we slow things down and take a look at the patterns between you and also the stuff each of you brings in. Because let’s be real, even the strongest couples get tangled when old wounds, nervous system freakouts, and unspoken expectations enter the chat. (And they always do. Hello assumptions and miscommunication). My approach is grounded in neuroscience, attachment, and how our brains and bodies try to protect us -often in ways that backfire in relationships. This isn’t about blame or keeping score. It’s about understanding the dynamic and teaming up to shift it. Reality is that relationships take work. Relationships take work. But the payoff? Real connection, real safety, real joy. Worth every step.

How I work
My goal is to help you feel less stuck and more understood—by each other, and by yourselves.
I help you get clearer about your emotional needs and how to express them without spiraling into blame or shutdown
I bring structure to the chaos, curiosity to the conflict, and support to the moments that feel messy or raw. We are doing the work live, not just talking about it.
We look at the automatic reactions (hello, nervous system) and deeper fears that show up when things get hard
We slow down the back-and-forth to figure out what is actually happening underneath the arguments
I support each of you in understanding your own stuff, because relationships are a two-person system and both people matter
What we'll work on
Communication that Actually Lands
Say what you mean and hear what your partner is really trying to say. Less defensiveness, more clarity, and a better chance of actually feeling understood.
Repair After Conflict
Learn how to come back together after disconnection, instead of staying stuck in silence or resentment. We work on creating safety even when things feel messy.
Trust and Emotional Safety
Whether you are rebuilding trust or learning how to build it for the first time, we focus on creating the kind of connection where both people feel secure, respected, and valued.
Understanding Each Other’s Triggers
Everyone brings their own emotional history into a relationship. We look at the "why" behind each of your reactions, so you can respond with more care and less confusion.
Feeling Close Again
Reignite emotional and physical intimacy by creating more moments of attunement, tenderness, and real connection. Even small shifts can create big change.
FAQ

What issues can we work on in couples therapy?

Couples come in for all kinds of reasons—some big, some quiet but persistent. Couples therapy can help with a wide range of relationship challenges. I work with partners who are navigating communication issues, trust repair after infidelity, recurring conflict, or a lack of emotional and physical intimacy. I also support couples going through major life transitions (like becoming parents) or feeling stuck in ambivalence about whether to stay together. Whether you’re looking to reconnect, heal after a betrayal, or gain clarity about the future of your relationship, this is a space to work through it with intention and care.

Do we need to be in crisis to start couples therapy?

Not at all. You don’t have to be on the verge of breaking up to benefit from couples therapy. Many couples come in simply to strengthen communication, deepen connection, or navigate a transition. Therapy can help you understand what’s getting in the way and build a stronger foundation before things escalate. It's not just for crisis. It's for clarity, connection, and growth.

What if one of us is unsure about therapy?

That’s more common than you might think. Sometimes one partner isn’t sure things are “bad enough” for therapy, or they worry it will turn into blame or finger pointing. I get it, sharing intimate parts of your relationship with someone you just met can feel uncomfortable. But couples therapy isn’t about blame. It’s about stepping back together and really seeing what’s playing out between you. The patterns you’re stuck in. The roles you’ve slipped into. The reactions that keep repeating. Once you both start to see the dynamic and take ownership of your part, real change becomes possible.

If one of you is unsure, let’s talk it through. A free consult call can help you both decide if this feels like the right next step.

Will you take sides?

I mean, I’m sure you’d love for me to say you’re right. But that’s a lose-lose mindset. I’m not here to play referee. I’m here to take care of your relationship. So, I'll side with what's in the best interest of the relationship. Sometimes, that means giving direct feedback to one of you or both. The goal is to help you see what's going on and help you shift it. It is always in service of helping you get unstuck and build something that actually works for both of you.

Your relationship deserves this kind of care.
