Couples therapy sessions

Every couple has a cycle.

The arguments. The shutdowns. The misunderstandings.

The moments where you wonder if this is fixable or if you’re drifting too far apart.

It’s not that you don’t care about each other.

It’s that your attachment wounds collide in painful ways.

I help couples repair emotional injuries, rebuild trust, and create a relationship that feels safe and alive again.

Common Challenges Couples Bring to Therapy

  • Recurring conflict or communication breakdowns

  • Emotional disconnection or loneliness inside the relationship

  • Betrayal wounds or trust rupture

  • High-stress dynamics, burnout, or mismatched needs

  • Sexual disconnection

  • One partner shutting down, the other pursuing

  • Difficulty navigating transitions (parenthood, careers, moves)

My Approach to Couples Therapy

I integrate:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Gottman Method (Level 1)

  • Attachment & trauma-informed couples work

  • Somatic, nervous-system-focused interventions

  • Communication + conflict repair skills

I don’t take sides. I take the side of the relationship—and help you both feel seen, safe, and understood.

These patterns are not personal failures. They’re protective strategies shaped by your histories.

Together, we uncover what’s underneath the cycle so you can finally shift it.
