Are you and your partner feeling distant, stuck in the same arguments, or struggling to communicate without things escalating or simply going nowhere? Many couples come to therapy feeling confused about why they love each other, yet struggle to be with one another. I help guide couples in understanding the patterns that create distance between them and have them learn the ways to connect, feel more secure, and be more supportive towards one another. My specialty focuses on improving communication, rebuilding emotional closeness, and creating lasting change so your relationship can continue grow stronger over time. Foundational Work.

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, an approach that helps partners better understand each other’s needs, repair after conflict, and build a more secure and loving bond. Together, we will identify the cycles that keep repeating in your relationship working against you two and instead work toward healthier ways of coming together.

If you’re ready to strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and feel closer to your partner, I invite you to reach out to me for a free 15–20 minute consultation. In addition, I also offer Individual relationship therapy for those wanting to work individually on their relationship patterns, attachment wounds, and emotional healing. Reach to book!
