If you start talking about chores and end up questioning your entire marriage or relationship, leave conversations with each other feeling more alone than when you started, or struggle with a sense of chronically walking on eggshells, you’re not alone and it doesn't have to stay this way. I work exclusively with intimate relationships and have helped many couples stuck in cycles of conflict or disconnection to rebuild emotional safety and closeness. In our work together, we identify the patterns that keep pulling you out of connection and learn new ways to respond to each other with greater understanding, clarity, and care.
My approach with couples therapy is to collaboratively explore what keeps happening in the relationship, slow down conflict enough to hold the pain underneath the anger, and create more secure, supportive ways of relating. Many couples come to therapy feeling discouraged or unsure and leave with a stronger sense of connection, trust, and emotional intimacy.
I have specialized experience in helping couples who want to shift relational patterns, so you can be sure you're getting expert care. I value authenticity, presence, and collaboration. Schedule an initial session or free consultation call via my website or send me a message, and let’s work together toward a greater sense of security and connection!
