Relationship Counseling

Where Connection Begins Again.

💞 You’re Not Broken—But Something Isn’t Working.

You’re smart, successful, and deeply committed to making this relationship work. And yet—communication feels like a minefield. The intimacy has shifted. Conflict keeps looping. Or maybe you're navigating betrayal, parenting stress, or a growing emotional distance that neither of you knows how to cross.

This is the space where real relationship change can happen.

🪷 My Approach to Relationship Therapy

I don’t offer quick fixes or cookie-cutter advice. I offer a depth-oriented, trauma-informed space to unpack your patterns, rebuild safety, and restore connection—or make empowered decisions about your next steps.

Drawing from The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing, I work with couples to repair trust, deepen intimacy, and develop communication that actually works.

💡 Common Themes I Work With:

  • Communication breakdowns & recurring conflict

  • Emotional disconnection or intimacy issues

  • Infidelity, betrayal, and rupture repair

  • Sexuality and desire discrepancies

  • Parenting & blended family challenges

  • Attachment wounds and early relational trauma

  • Power imbalances or resentment

  • Couples on the brink—stay or go clarity work

🌿 For All Relationship Structures

I affirm and support all expressions of love—monogamous, polyamorous, queer, traditional, or undefined. Whether you’re dating, partnered, married, or unsure, your relationship is welcome here.

🧠 What Makes This Work Different

You're not just learning skills—you’re healing the roots of the disconnect. Together, we’ll explore:

  • How your attachment histories are shaping your present

  • How to move from protection to vulnerability

  • How to regulate conflict and repair quickly

  • How to reconnect through presence, not performance

📆 How We Can Work Together

  • Weekly 50-minute Couples Sessions (virtual or in-person, depending on location)

  • Extended 90-minute sessions for deeper work

  • Couples Intensives – Half or full-day deep dives

  • Discernment Counseling – For couples unsure if they want to stay together
