For Couples

I work with couples to strengthen emotional safety, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Whether you're in crisis or just craving deeper connection, you're in the right place.

Your relationship isn’t broken. But it may be stuck in patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, unheard, or overwhelmed.

Couples therapy is a space where both of you get to be seen, supported, and guided toward something better, together.

I often work with couples who love each other deeply but feel stuck in cycles of miscommunication, emotional distance, or unresolved tension. Many of the couples I support are high-functioning in every area of life, yet struggling to feel seen and understood in their relationship.

Some come in the aftermath of betrayal while others arrive simply wanting to protect the bond they’ve built. Whether you’re navigating parenting, trust issues, or the weight of generational patterns, this space is for couples who are ready to grow, not give up.

I work with couples in the following ways:

I’m Not Just A Therapist…

It’s important to me that the couples I work with, don’t just see me as an expert, they see me as human. I bring both my professional training and my lived experience into the room. I know what it’s like to do deep, uncomfortable, life-changing inner work. I know what it feels like to question everything and still choose to keep going.

So when you show up unsure, scared, tired, or ready to break cycles, I’m not looking at you through a clinical lens alone. I’m walking beside you, holding space for your growth, your mess, your breakthroughs, and your softness.

This work can stretch you. But I’ll be there every step of the way—guiding, challenging, affirming, and reminding you: you’re not doing this alone.

 What To Expect Working With Me

  • We’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and how you got to where you are now. I’ll get to know each of you and the dynamic you’re experiencing.

  • We’ll begin to identify your conflict pattern and emotional triggers—and how each partner’s experience is shaping the relationship.

  • We’ll clarify what you both want out of and map a plan for moving forward together.

I use evidence-based methods like:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): To address attachment wounds and help couples move from conflict to closeness

  • The Gottman Method: To strengthen communication, repair ruptures, and build shared meaning

  • Narrative Therapy & Attachment Work: To unpack generational patterns and shift how you show up in love

  • Somatic & Mindfulness Practices: To help regulate emotions in the moment and reduce reactivity

Couples therapy isn’t about blame, it’s about creating a space where both people feel safe enough to be honest, heard, and open to change.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
