Couples Therapy: Strengthening Communication and Deepening Connection

I love working with couples on their relationship. Relationship therapy is for couples, family members, or friends who want to improve communication, navigate conflict, and deepen their connection. Whether you're facing ongoing challenges, a specific crisis, major life transitions, or external stressors, therapy offers a structured, supportive space to work through it together.

In our work, I will help you understand your relationship as a dynamic and what your individual roles are within it. Most of the time, both partners have a lot to work on and I will help you understand this dynamic that co-creates the challenges you are facing. Often, both people are contributing—consciously and unconsciously—to the patterns that keep you stuck. Together, we’ll explore the mutual responsibility of your dynamic, and begin shifting it in a more intentional, connected direction. We’ll also address any resentment that has built up over time, as this is often a key driver of disconnection and conflict.

I take a direct, mindful approach using a 4-depth system to explore the surface-level concerns as well as the deeper, unconscious patterns influencing your relationship. This includes:

1. Improving communication by identifying and breaking negative cycles.

2. Understanding external stressors on the relationship such as career shifts, parenting, finances, infidelity, long distance, or major life changes.

3. Exploring attachment styles and past trauma that is undoubtedly shaping your dynamic.

4. Assessing compatibility in values, lifestyle, visions, and long-term goals.

I provide inclusive relationship counseling for heterosexual, queer, polyamorous, or interracial couples. No matter your background or relationship structure, I offer a safe and supportive space to help you build a stronger, more fulfilling connection.
