Couples & Relational Therapy
For partners, families, & those navigating life together: a space to work through challenges, deepen connection, and grow together
-
A space shaped around your relationship. Therapy is attuned and personalized to each couple, making room for your unique history, strengths, differences, and the patterns that shape how you connect.
Space for both of you to feel known and heard. Together, we slow down enough to understand what is happening underneath conflict, navigate differences with curiosity, and create new opportunities for connection, understanding, and emotional safety.
A pace that honors your relationship. We move at a pace that feels appropriate for you, building the capacity for each person to take up space, express what matters, and reach toward one another with greater openness, vulnerability, and care.
-
I bring warmth, empathy, curiosity, and a little humor into the room, while honoring the unique nuances of each person and each relationship. I believe there is nothing unusual or shameful about having parts of ourselves that feel tender, unresolved, or sensitive. Therapy can be a place to slow down, normalize what you are experiencing, and care for those parts with compassion rather than judgment.

You are the experts on your relationship. You know your history, your relationship, and yourselves best. My role is not to tell you what your relationship should look like, but to help you navigate the places where vulnerability and connection can feel difficult.
My approach is integrative, with specialized training and clinical experience in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), an evidence-based approach grounded in attachment research. EFCT has strong research supporting its ability to help couples improve their relationships, strengthen emotional connection, and create lasting change. I use this framework to help you slow down, better understand what is happening within you, between you, and to help find new ways to reach for and respond to one another. Our work is always shaped around your unique relationship, with the goal of helping you feel more understood, connected, and secure together.
I specialize in supporting relationships who...
• Feel stuck in the same cycle, having the same arguments without knowing how to create something different.
• Want to communicate more meaningfully and have conversations about difficult topics without becoming overwhelmed, defensive, or shut down.
• Find themselves frustrated with one another more easily and miss the closeness, playfulness, or sense of being a team that they once shared.
• Long for a deeper emotional connection and want to better understand their loved one’s inner world, needs, fears, and hopes.
• Feel like they have lost their way to one another and want to reconnect with the person behind the conflict, the day to day stress, or the grief and rediscover a sense of safety and closeness.
• Are romantic and navigating changes in intimacy, desire, or sexuality and want a more emotionally connected and fulfilling intimate life.
• Are on different pages around major life decisions, including marriage, children, parenting, career changes, or where to build their lives, and want space to understand what matters most to each of them.
• Are navigating big transitions, fertility, health, finances, parenting, or grief and want support staying connected to one another while making sense of what these experiences bring up.
• Find that daily stress, family dynamics, or outside pressures are making it harder to show up for one another and are becoming part of their conflict.
• Are navigating extended family or in law relationships and want to strengthen their partnership while finding ways to honor important family relationships.
• Are working to rebuild trust and emotional safety after hurt, rejection, or experiences that have changed how they relate to one another.
• Feel like nothing is necessarily wrong, but they want more and want to deepen their understanding of one another before patterns become harder to shift.
