Couples Therapy
Relationships are both one of the most meaningful and challenging aspects of our lives, worthy of the work of healing and repair.
Beyond the ordinary
This is where our journey begins. My unique personality and approach as a couple's therapist contributes to getting a full understanding of you and your relationship dynamics. From there, we work toward addressing and processing the aspects that need tender loving care, compassion and attention.
Experience Clarity & Relationship Repair
Many couples who engage in the therapeutic process gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their partner, and the patterns within their relationship. This increased awareness often leads to meaningful shifts in the way they communicate, resolve conflict, and connect with one another.
Couples therapy provides a safe, supportive environment to explore relationship challenges, strengthen emotional bonds, and develop healthier ways of interacting. Together, we work to move beyond cycles of blame, criticism, and defensiveness toward greater emotional availability, empathy, and mutual understanding.
My approach is client-centered and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), integrating practical coaching and evidence-based strategies that help couples build effective communication skills and create lasting, positive change. Whether you are navigating ongoing conflict, rebuilding trust, adjusting to life transitions, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, therapy can help you develop a more secure, connected, and fulfilling partnership.
High Conflict Couples, Court-Related Therapy & Co-Parenting
Going through divorce, custody changes and family distress can be one of the most traumatic times in a person's life. Having personal experience in custody matters and divorce, I have hands-on knowledge and insight that helps families going through the family law court system. I work with families on co-parenting, with teens on working through changes in their family unit, and individuals struggling with the circumstances. I can help you with court-ordered therapy and support you along the way.
