Couples Therapy
Feeling alone, hurt, and tired of the same old fights?
You and your partner might be caught in a painful cycle right now. Maybe every conversation turns into an argument or ends with one of you shutting down.
Perhaps you feel lonely even when you’re sitting right next to each other, or like you’ve become roommates instead of lovers. It’s heartbreaking to feel so distant from the person you love, and it makes sense that you’re both feeling hurt and frustrated. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone – many couples go through periods of disconnection and doubt.
Even the strongest relationships face hard times. Whether you’re dating, married, or have been together for decades, it’s natural to hit rough patches.
You might wonder if things can change or worry nothing will improve. Take heart: there is hope. With proper support, you can learn to break out of this stuck pattern and find your way back to each other. This is where couples therapy can help.
Couples therapy with me is a warm, collaborative process.
In this space, you will feel heard, seen, and valued. It takes courage to open up about your relationship struggles, so I start by creating an atmosphere of trust and safety. In our virtual sessions (held online for your comfort and convenience), you can speak freely without fear of judgment. I’m not here to take sides or declare one of you “right” and the other “wrong.” Instead, I’m here to guide you as a couple – helping you express what’s in your heart and learn to listen to each other attentively.
My style is grounded, gentle, and trauma-informed. That means I pay attention to the words you say and the emotions and subtle body cues behind them. When things get heated or tense, we’ll intentionally slow down.
By easing the pace, we give room for the deeper feelings to emerge – the hurt, fear, or longing that might be hiding beneath anger or silence. I approach these tender moments with compassion and curiosity, helping you both feel safe to share.
Together, we work to untangle the underlying issues at a speed that feels comfortable for you so neither of you feels rushed or overwhelmed.
My approach depends on YOUR needs.
I draw from various approaches in an integrative way rather than sticking to a single method. This means I tailor our sessions to fit your unique relationship while introducing techniques to improve your communication. I will guide you through exercises to build empathy, using mindfulness and body-awareness practices to help calm both of your nervous systems when you’re in conflict.
No matter the style of your relationship, my focus is on helping you both more deeply understand each other, helping you find compassion for the parts of the other that have been creating conflict.
In this space, both partners’ perspectives matter. Over time, this consistent experience of being heard and respected by each other (and supported by me as your therapist) lays the groundwork for real healing and change, creating the conditions where both people feel safe enough to take responsibility for their impact.
Find your way back to each other.
In couples therapy, you’ll start to notice shifts that bring a sense of relief and hope. As you practice new ways of communicating in our sessions, you’ll learn how to express your feelings and needs without every discussion blowing up or shutting down. Instead of talking past each other or walking on eggshells, you’ll begin to truly hear what your partner is saying – and they’ll listen to you, too.
I’ll help you both recognize the unhelpful patterns you’ve been stuck in and, more importantly, discover new ways to respond to each other. For example, if one of you tends to withdraw when upset and the other pushes harder to talk, we’ll gently explore what’s happening underneath those reactions. Maybe one of you fears rejection, and the other is unheard and desperate for connection. By bringing those vulnerable feelings into the open, you can start reaching for each other with understanding instead of pulling away in fear or frustration.
With time and effort, therapy helps you rebuild the emotional connection that’s been lost. You might find yourselves having honest conversations, being kind, feeling cared for, even when disagreeing. Many couples I work with tell me they begin to feel like a team again. The same old conflicts start to fade as you replace them with new habits of empathy and collaboration. You’ll create a shared sense of safety – knowing that even if challenging moments arise, you’ll have the tools to get through them together.
Gradually, the distance between you will close. In its place will grow a renewed trust, affection, and closeness. You’ll remember what drew you to each other in the first place, and you’ll begin to see a path forward, hand in hand, with more hope and warmth than ever before.
Take the next step together.
Reaching out for help is a brave step, and it can be the start of healing for your relationship. You don’t have to stay stuck in painful patterns or wonder if things could be different.
Couples therapy offers a chance to reconnect, understand each other on a deeper level, and strengthen your bond. If you and your partner are ready to break the cycle of disconnection and conflict, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I welcome couples of all backgrounds and identities on this journey.
I invite you to text me to learn how we might work together. Let’s discuss what’s happening for you and see if this approach fits your expectations. No matter how discouraged you may feel right now, change is possible.
Your relationship deserves the chance to heal, and you both deserve to feel loved, heard, and hopeful again. You don’t have to navigate this alone – let’s begin the journey of finding your way back to each other together.
