Couples Therapy

The Big Picture

Relationships are beautiful, complicated ecosystems—until suddenly they’re… not. Couples therapy gives you a neutral, steady space to slow down the conflict loops, name what’s really going on underneath, and learn how to stay connected even when you’re both overwhelmed, disappointed, or speaking entirely different emotional languages. My job isn’t to take sides—it’s to help you build a relationship that feels sturdier, kinder, and more honest than the version you walked in with.

Specialties

  • If you’ve been replaying the same argument so many times you could do it as a TED Talk, good news: you’re not broken—you’re stuck in a pattern. In couples therapy, we zoom out to understand what each of you is actually trying to say beneath the snark, silence, or shutdown. You’ll learn how to communicate needs without grenades, listen without bracing for impact, and disagree without burning the whole house down.

  • Intimacy isn’t just sex—it’s closeness, safety, laughter, vulnerability, and feeling like your partner “gets” you again. When intimacy starts to fade, it can feel terrifying or even shameful. Together, we’ll explore what’s blocking connection—stress, resentment, attachment wounds, mismatched needs, or just the slow erosion of emotional closeness—and rebuild from the inside out. No awkwardness, no judgment, no “sex coach voice,” I promise.

  • Infidelity hits like an emotional earthquake—but it doesn’t make either of you a villain or a lost cause. Whether you’re the partner who was hurt or the partner who crossed a line, therapy gives you a space to slow down the panic, shame, and confusion. We’ll look at what happened with honesty—not blame—and explore what the betrayal represents, what pain was underneath it, and what each of you needs to feel safe again. Healing doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t happen—it means understanding it deeply enough to decide what comes next. Whether that’s rebuilding trust or parting with clarity, you won’t be navigating the aftermath alone.
