Reconnect, repair, and rediscover your relationship
What to expect in Couples Therapy
Most couples come to therapy unaware of the emotional patterns, assumptions, and reenactments that shape their dynamic. Often, these patterns operate beneath the surface, creating distance without either partner fully realizing it. Together, we’ll track those dynamics in real time so you can begin creating new pathways toward connection, empathy, and mutual support.
You can expect:
• A nonjudgmental space
• Clear structure and guidance
• A focus on emotional patterns, not just surface-level conflict
Who is this for?
Couples therapy can feel like a daunting step. My priority is to create a space where both partners feel equally heard, understood, and respected. I don’t treat each individual—I treat the relationship. That means we don’t assign blame. Instead, we examine how behaviors (both subtle and overt) impact connection, trust, and emotional intimacy.
Common reasons for Couples Therapy
Frequent arguments or communication struggles
Rebuilding trust after infidelity
Financial disagreements
Navigating parenting stress
Feeling like “roommates” instead of partners
Preparing for marriage (premarital counseling)
Processing life transitions together
Understanding Reenactments & Patterns
In therapy, we explore how each of you learned to express emotion, seek support, and show presence in past relationships. This helps reveal why your current patterns exist—and how to shift them. Many couples come in feeling stuck and defeated, but hope begins when you start recognizing these emotional loops.
You may notice:
• Attempts to connect are misunderstood or rejected
• Emotional needs go unspoken until they erupt
• One or both partners feel like they’re carrying the emotional load
Through curiosity and compassion, we uncover the emotional logic behind these patterns—and begin creating something new.
Is this for YOU?
Couples therapy is for anyone navigating the complexities of partnership. Whether you’re in crisis or simply wanting to deepen your connection, therapy can offer new insight and a shared path forward.
You might relate to these common thoughts:
• “My partner doesn’t hear me.” → Feeling unheard
• “They only tell me what I’m doing wrong.” → Feeling criticized
• “I often feel unsupported and blamed.” → Feeling alone
• “I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this.” → Feeling overwhelmed and scared
If you’re looking for deeper momentum, I offer extended couples therapy intensives as an optional starting point. These sessions allow us to make significant progress in a shorter timeframe and can be especially helpful for couples in high-conflict or crisis stages.
