Are you having the same arguments with your partner repeatedly? Maybe you feel resentful or like you’re walking on eggshells, with small interactions leading to big conflicts. You may start to wonder, “Do they care about me?” or “Do they understand how I feel?” At times, avoiding conversations to prevent arguments may feel like the only option. As a military couple, you face unique challenges like deployments, long separations, relocations, trust issues, and balancing family and military life. Yet you long to reconnect, have open conversations without fear, and restore closeness and intimacy.
I work with military couples—whether dating, engaged, or married—to break free from old communication patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Together, we build new ways of connecting that reignite the spark, deepen love, and foster a strong sense of unity. I aim to help couples rediscover the feeling of being a team, fully supported by one another.
By overcoming communication barriers, my couples feel safe expressing their true feelings. By identifying where they get stuck, couples learn to be more vulnerable and share emotions without fear of upsetting their partner. As a result, conflicts decrease, and feelings of hope and trust grow.

In our first session, I create a safe and neutral space for both partners to share their perspectives on the conflict. I aim to understand where communication may break down and help identify the underlying issues. Many of my couples leave the first session feeling relieved and hopeful, reassured by their partner's willingness to work on the relationship.

Couples who work with me often experience a renewed sense of hope and clarity about what they need from one another. They find their partner more engaged, report fewer arguments, and feel a deeper connection. They can talk openly, feeling truly heard for the first time without worrying about triggering conflicts.
