You and your partner love each other but feel stuck in painful cycles—miscommunication, recurring conflicts, emotional distance, or power struggles. Arguments escalate from 0 to 100 in seconds, or you withdraw, avoid conflict, and build resentment. Small issues turn into big fights, and you don’t know why. It’s hard to prioritize your relationship, and at times, you struggle to feel desired, safe, or emotionally connected. Maybe one or both of you are neurodiverse, making emotional regulation difficult or focus a challenge. You want to break these patterns, communicate better, and build a deeper, more secure bond—but you don’t know.
I draw from Imago Relationship Therapy, Developmental Model of Couples Relationships, Gestalt, and somatic work, blending structured tools with deep emotional exploration. My approach helps couples understand triggers, improve communication, and break negative cycles. I provide an effective, direct approach to fostering connection, safety, and lasting change
I take an active, engaged approach—this isn’t just about talking; it’s about real change. I tailor interventions, assign exercises, and provide psychoeducational tools to support growth between sessions. I integrate anti-oppression perspectives, considering systemic and environmental factors.
