Couples therapy
you can have the relationship you want
It's scary enough to open up to therapy. It's even more vulnerable to lay out the hardest parts of your relationship in front of a stranger. Some people come in wondering: Will the therapist take sides? What if I find out I'm the problem? Maybe you've even been burned before by someone who did just that.
As a couples therapist, I'm here to support both of you. That means making sure each person gets real space to be heard, and that it stays safe to disagree, with each other and with me. You'll likely come in with different histories, temperaments, and ideas about what you each want. My work is to help you find your way back to the safety, intimacy, care, and hope you lost somewhere along the way.
how therapy can help
For couples stuck in conflict
The same fight, over and over, no matter what it started about. Whether you push or shut down, you end up further apart than when you began. You know things need to change, but you’re at a loss. In therapy we’ll explore the patterns beneath the fights and get to the root of your triggers, while also equipping you with effective tools for conflict resolution, communication, and increasing intimacy.
For couples who’ve grown distant
Somewhere amidst the careers, the kids, and the endless logistics, you drifted, and now you're running a great household but barely finding each other inside it. After a while, it feels easier to leave things as they are. If you’re ready to stop feeling like roommates or co-parents, there’s a way forward here. We’ll look at what’s stopping you from reaching for each other like you used to and help you find the intimacy you’ve been quietly missing.
For couples who want to grow
Not every couple comes in struggling. Some come because they want to address potential challenges early, strengthen their bonds, or are simply curious about what therapy can do for their relationship. We’ll build on your strengths and deepen how you understand each other, creating positive patterns of communication and closeness that can hold up when life gets heavy. These couples may also benefit from premarital counseling.
For couples bridging cultures
Maybe you come from different cultures, or you’re navigating between the one you were raised in and the one you live in now. Where you come from shapes what you expect from love, family, money, conflict, even what closeness is supposed to look like, often in ways neither of you can fully put into words. We’ll explore how these dynamics unfold in your relationship, and how you can build something that feels true for both of you.
