Your relationship is struggling, and you both know it.

Maybe the connection feels lost. Maybe you're having the same fight on repeat. Maybe you're more like roommates than partners.

Couples therapy is where we figure out what's not working and start building something different. Together.

Couples Therapy

Parenting Conflicts

  • Disagreements about parenting styles or discipline
  • Feeling like co-parents but not partners
  • Resentment about division of labor
  • Struggling to stay connected while raising kids
  • Conflict about family planning or parenting decisions
  • Loss of couple identity after becoming parents

Emotional Distance

  • Feeling more like roommates than partners
  • Loss of intimacy or connection
  • Spending less quality time together
  • Feeling alone even when you're together
  • Going through the motions without real engagement
  • Difficulty being vulnerable with each other

  • Conversations turn into arguments
  • Feeling misunderstood or unheard
  • Shutting down or stonewalling during conflict
  • Difficulty expressing needs without it escalating
  • One or both partners avoiding difficult conversations
  • Feeling like you're speaking different languages

Communication Breakdowns

Couples therapy is a good fit if you're experiencing:

Recurring Patterns

  • Having the same fight over and over
  • Feeling stuck in negative cycles
  • One person pursues, the other withdraws
  • Criticism, defensiveness, or contempt showing up regularly
  • Difficulty breaking out of old dynamics
  • Knowing something needs to change but not knowing how

Life Transitions

  • Adjusting to major changes (new job, move, health issues)
  • Navigating empty nest or retirement
  • Blending families or step-parenting dynamics
  • Financial stress or career changes
  • Grief or loss affecting the relationship
  • Different visions for the future

  • Working through infidelity or betrayal
  • Difficulty rebuilding trust
  • Insecurity or jealousy in the relationship
  • One partner questioning commitment
  • Patterns of dishonesty or secrecy
  • Struggling to move forward after a breach of trust

Trust & Betrayal

Couples therapy sessions are 50 minutes, with the option for 90-minute intensive sessions if needed. Most couples start with weekly sessions and adjust from there.

What to Expect in Sessions

We'll begin by understanding what's bringing you both here and what you're each hoping will be different. Then we'll work together to:

  • Identify the patterns and cycles that are keeping you stuck
  • Improve communication so you can actually hear each other
  • Learn how to navigate conflict without it escalating
  • Rebuild connection, trust, and intimacy
  • Address unresolved issues or past hurt
  • Practice new ways of showing up for each other

Couples therapy works when both people are willing to show up, take accountability, and be open to trying something different. If one person is checked out or dragging their feet, we'll address that directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on what you're working on and how entrenched the patterns are. Some couples come for a few months to work through a specific issue. Others stay longer to rebuild connection and work on deeper patterns. We'll check in regularly on progress and adjust as needed.

Couples therapy works best when both people want to be in the room. If one person is hesitant, we'll talk about that in the first session. Sometimes reluctance shifts once the work starts. Sometimes it doesn't, and we'll address that honestly.

No, my job isn't to decide who's right or wrong. It's to help you both understand each other, identify patterns, and work toward the relationship you both want.

That's okay. Couples therapy can help you figure out whether the relationship is worth rebuilding or whether separation is the healthiest path forward. Either way, we'll work through it with honesty and respect.

I can't promise that. What I can promise is a space where both of you are heard, where we address what's not working, and where you'll have the tools to make an informed decision about your relationship. The outcome depends on both of you.

Sometimes, yes. If there's something one person needs to process individually, or if we hit a roadblock that would benefit from individual work, I'll suggest it. But the primary work happens together.

The first step is a free consultation where we'll talk about what's happening and whether this feels like the right fit.
