Do you and your partner keep having the same fight over and over again? Or are you starting to feel more like roommates than lovers? If so, you’re not alone. Often the more one partner pushes, the more the other pulls away—and before long, you’re both stuck in a cycle of conflict and disconnection. The good news is, this is something we can actually work through. There is a clear, proven path back to one another—one that can help you feel close again and communicate in ways that actually work. I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath these patterns so you can reconnect and feel close again.
Did you know emotional and physical connection are closely linked—when one is strained, it often impacts the other. Touch that used to feel natural can start to feel like pressure which leads to resistance then rejection. I work with couples to understand what’s getting in the way of intimacy—so it can feel safe, mutually fulfilling and connected again.
If by chance distance has grown to the point where trust has been broken, it shatters our sense of security. It changes how we see ourselves, our partner and our relationship. And often the person who caused the hurt is the one you most long to feel safe with again. I work with couples to rebuild trust in a way that feels secure, and lasting.

I am Level II EMDR trained and supervised. EMDR is a trauma therapy technique which allows the brain to reprogram painful events. I might also utilize art, music, mindfulness, and some Somatic Experiencing (SE) methods to address trauma and the stories we tell ourselves about life's challenging experiences.
