Couples do not end up in crisis overnight.

If you are considering couples therapy, it is likely that something feels as if it’s not working between you and a partner(s), family member, or friend.

Just as individuals experience symptoms of underlying suffering, so do relationships. This might look like: chronic disconnection and avoidance, cyclical arguments, infidelity, intimacy issues, struggles over parenting decisions, loneliness after losses, etc.

I work with couples to address these concerns and to grow their capacity to creatively think about their needs as a couple, together, so that they might find greater connection.

Specializations

  • It can be painful to feel stuck in repetitive arguments or conflicts that never quite feel resolved. Perhaps you are struggling to express needs or wants, avoiding big conversations, or chronically feeling misunderstood or unseen. Perhaps conflicts often escalate into bigger and bigger fights. Working to understand the underlying dynamics of your relationship can create room for you and your partner(s) think through issues together.

  • Infidelity is like an injury: your relationship can heal, but the process takes times and energy. It is possible to work through broken trust and feelings of guilt or resentment to find renewed trust and build deeper a deeper connection.

  • All couples face choices throughout life: to get married, to have children or not, to move, to leave a job, to separate, etc. It can be tricky to know how to navigate potential differences in desires. Maybe you feel ambivalent and your partner feels strongly; or, maybe you both feel strongly about different options. Couples therapy can be a space to discuss with depth and to increase curiosity and empathy for each other.

  • Often, partners experiencing grief and infertility can cope differently, leading to disconnection and avoidance. Couples therapy can help open up space to process losses, hear each other, and connect through pain.
