Couples Therapy
Therapy for couples who want deeper connection, better communication, and more honest relationships
Relationships can bring up some of our deepest vulnerabilities. Even couples who love each other deeply can find themselves stuck in painful cycles: miscommunication, defensiveness, resentment, emotional distance, conflict that is never fully resolved, or feeling disconnected from intimacy and each other.
Sometimes couples come to therapy after months or years of trying to “figure it out” on their own. Sometimes they’re navigating major transitions, rebuilding trust, exploring nontraditional relationship structures, or trying to learn how to communicate without hurting each other in the process.Couples therapy can help create a space where both people feel more heard, understood, and emotionally connected.I especially enjoy working with queer couples and nontraditional relationships, including polyamory and ENM dynamics. My work is affirming of diverse identities, sexualities, and relationship structures.
In couples work, I draw heavily from relational, psychodynamic, and emotionally focused approaches. Together, we’ll work on understanding the patterns happening underneath the conflict, not just the content of the arguments themselves. Often, couples aren’t actually fighting about dishes or texting back quickly enough; they’re struggling with feeling unseen, unsafe, disconnected, misunderstood, or emotionally alone.
Therapy can help couples:
communicate more openly
navigate conflict differently
deepen emotional intimacy
strengthen trust
understand each other’s emotional worlds
build healthier relational patterns
reconnect sexually and emotionally
I’m an active therapist in the session, and I won’t just sit back while the same conversation repeats itself. I’ll help slow things down, identify patterns, and support both partners in having more honest and productive conversations, while also making sure the space feels grounded and collaborative.
