Couples Therapy

Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill or stuck in limbo? 

Do you and your partner have the same argument over and over again? 

Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting apart?

Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner?

If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then it might be time to seek professional guidance. The goal of couples therapy is to equip you with tools for healthy and effective communication outside of sessions, along with a stronger ability to resolve conflict, deepen intimacy, and feel more aligned with your partner.

When couples reach out, it is often because communication feels strained. Conversations may feel circular and unproductive, leaving each person feeling unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. You may feel like small disagreements spiral into painful conflicts that end up in tears, frustration, or silence.

In couples therapy, we take the time to:

  • Identify the patterns that lead to emotional disconnection

  • Repair ruptures or betrayals

  • Re-build and strengthen trust 

  • Practice effective communication and listening tools using the Gottman Method

  • Strengthen emotional safety and deepen intimacy

  • Understand how early relationships might shape the way you connect with your partner today


Common issues couples bring to therapy:

  • Communication struggles

  • Infidelity or betrayal

  • Rupture of trust

  • Intimacy issues

  • Mental health struggles

  • Conflicts with extended or blended families

  • Difficulty balancing work, life, and relationship needs

  • Disagreements around sex or pornography

  • Pre-marital concerns or readiness for commitment

  • Divorce or separation

  • Addiction or partner addiction support

  • Chronic illness or caretaking strain

Whether you’ve been together for years or are just beginning to build a life together, couples therapy can help you reconnect and create the relationship you desire. If any of the above feels familiar, reach out today for a free consultation.


Pre-Marital Counseling

Do you see a future with your partner and want to make sure you’re aligned on the important things? 

Are you planning a wedding and feeling overwhelmed by stress, family expectations, or communication challenges?

Pre-marital counseling can support you during this transitional time by helping you lay a strong foundation before entering marriage.

This work is especially useful for couples who:

  • Want to get ahead of future challenges by addressing concerns or potential conflict early

  • Are unsure how to navigate tough conversations around family, finances, or values

  • Want to strengthen their bond or confidence before making a lifelong commitment

  • Are dealing with wedding-related stress or conflict with family

  • Want to ensure they’re on the same page emotionally, spiritually, and practically

Pre-marital counseling is a space to explore everything openly so that there are no surprises down the road. It can also be a helpful place to talk through past relationships, family-of-origin wounds, or fears that come up when planning the future.

Life can get more complicated, which makes this the perfect time to learn how to create a secure base together.


Relationship Counseling

Not all relationships look the same, and not all people seek therapy in a romantic context. Relationship counseling is for romantic partners, friendships, partnerships, family, and more. Relationship counseling can be a supportive space for anyone who is navigating relational struggles, regardless of the type of connection.

You might benefit from relationship counseling if:

  • You’re in a new relationship and want to avoid repeating patterns from the past

  • You’ve experienced betrayal or unhealthy dynamics in past relationships

  • You struggle with trust, jealousy, or feeling emotionally reactive

  • You desire a stronger, more secure relationship with improved communication 

  • You fear that your emotions are “too much” or will drive others away

  • You feel suspicious or fearful of other people's motives

Relationship counseling can also be helpful for those who are in a relationship and want to protect, improve, or maintain what they’ve built. 

Our relationships are the backbone of our lives, and it’s important to nurture and strengthen them. This space can offer support as you unpack fears, regulate your emotions, and strengthen your ability to trust. 


Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches 

In my work with couples, I use evidence-based modalities that support deeper connection, clear communication, and emotional safety. I tailor my approach to fit the specific needs and dynamics of each relationship.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):  I use EFT to help couples identify the emotional experiences driving conflict and create a more secure bond through vulnerability, emotional attunement, and repair.

The Gottman Method: I use this method to incorporate practical tools that help couples improve communication and  manage conflict more effectively. 

PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy): Using PACT, I support couples in understanding how their nervous systems and early attachment histories influence the way they relate and respond to each other.

Solution-Focused Therapy: When couples feel stuck, I use a solution-focused lens to highlight what’s already working well and build momentum toward the relationship they want to create.

Attachment Theory I use an attachment lens to help couples understand how early experiences shape current patterns of connection, including the ways insecurity can lead to disconnection or escalation. By bringing awareness to these dynamics, we work toward developing a more secure attachment that fosters stability, emotional safety, and healthier communication in the relationship.
