Couples Therapy

For navigating distance, tension, and conversations that feel stuck

Couples therapy is a space to talk about what’s been hard between you - especially if communication has become tense, repetitive, or easier to avoid than actually deal with.

Many couples reach out because they care deeply about each other, but communication has become strained, they feel more distant than they used to, or struggle to talk about difficult things without it turning into conflict or shutdown.

You don’t have to be on the brink of separation to come to therapy. Often, couples seek support beacuses they want to understand each other better, change how you communicate, and rebuild a sense of closeness before frustration or resentment deepens.

When you might reach out

You might recognize yourselves here if:

  • nothing ever gets resolved and it feels hard to really hear one another

  • tension builds quickly, even around small or familiar topics

  • one or both of you feel misunderstood, unseen, or emotionally alone in the relationship

  • old family or relational patterns show up when things feel stressful

  • you’re navigating change, illness, burnout, or life transitions that are affecting how you connect

  • you want to strengthen your relationship, not just “fix” arguments

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Wanting the relationship to feel more supportive and grounded is enough to begin.

How couples therapy with me works

Our work is thoughtful, steady, and collaborative.

We move at a pace that respects both of you, your histories, and the ways you’ve learned to protect yourselves in relationships.

Therapy isn’t about assigning blame or deciding who’s right - it’s about understanding what’s happening between you, and how each of you is affected.

Together, we focus on:

  • understanding what keeps happening between you, rather than who’s at fault

  • noticing how stress, past experiences, or family dynamics shape how you respond to each other

  • building more emotional safety, clarity, and mutual understanding

  • supporting each partner to stay connected to themselves while staying engaged with the relationship

This isn’t about pushing, forcing insight, or escalating emotion. Sessions create space to slow down, reflect, and begin relating to one another in a more grounded and intentional way.

There is room for seriousness - and moments of lightness - often right when it helps things soften.

A good fit - and when it may not be


This work tends to be a good fit if you:

  • want to understand your relationship more deeply, not just resolve surface-level issues

  • are open to reflecting on how both of you contribute to relational patterns

  • value steadiness, curiosity, and long-term change over urgency

  • want support strengthening the relationship rather than proving a point

This work may not be the right fit if:

  • you’re looking for a space primarily to vent, release anger, or focus on what your partner is doing wrong

  • there is ongoing hostility, intimidation, or unmanaged anger in the relationship

  • one partner is unwilling to participate in a reflective or collaborative process

  • you’re seeking high-conflict, confrontation-driven, or crisis-focused work

If you’re unsure about fit, that’s something we can explore together during a consultation.
