If you feel stuck in a pattern of conflict in your relationship and your fights never truly feel resolved, we can try something new together. Maybe you’ve been experiencing more frustration and hurt when all you want is to feel safe and secure again. Or things used to feel easier in your relationship, but your usual approaches aren’t working anymore. I want you to know that these struggles are not the end of the line for your relationship. If you’re thinking about starting couples therapy, you're already taking a step to care for your relationship and yourselves.
In couples therapy, we will practice new ways of interacting in real time—new ways of showing vulnerability, of listening and responding to each other, of demonstrating affection and care, and of strengthening your sense of security in your relationship. We can find our way together toward authentic, secure, and fulfilling connection.
I care deeply about neurodiversity-affirming practice, and finding ways to communicate and connect that are right for your relationship—without blaming a partner’s neurodivergence. I am also someone who continues to take COVID precautions due to an awareness of how COVID infections and long COVID can impact our psychological well-being.
