Couples Therapy:
Thoughtful, Evidence-Based Support for Complex Relationships

Compassionate couples therapy for partners who want to understand what’s happening — and change how they relate — without blame, labels, or quick fixes.

If you and your partner feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in familiar patterns, couples therapy can offer a grounded space to slow down, make sense of what’s unfolding, and move forward with more clarity and care.

When Your Relationship Feels Stuck

Many couples come to therapy not because they lack insight — but because insight alone hasn’t shifted the dynamic.

You may recognize yourselves here:

  • Conversations escalate quickly or go nowhere

  • Emotional or physical intimacy feels distant or strained

  • The same conflicts repeat despite your best intentions

  • One or both of you feels misunderstood, guarded, or exhausted

  • Big questions about trust, desire, or the future feel hard to name

Couples therapy offers a space to explore how these patterns operate — not to decide who’s right or wrong, but to understand what’s happening between you.

How I Work With Couples

My work is grounded in Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and family systems approaches.

Rather than focusing only on behaviors or communication skills, we look at the relational system you’re part of — the rules, roles, and protective patterns that shape how you relate.

This isn’t about fixing one person.
It’s about creating conditions where both partners can feel seen, heard, and more connected to themselves and each other.

Together, we work to:

  • Understand recurring relational patterns

  • Explore emotional and attachment dynamics

  • Create space for honest, safer conversations

  • Support changes that feel authentic and sustainable

What Couples Therapy Can Support

Couples I work with often bring questions or challenges around:

  • Ongoing conflict or emotional distance

  • Rebuilding trust after rupture or betrayal

  • Navigating transitions, stress, or life changes

  • Exploring intimacy, desire, or identity

  • Feeling “fine” on the surface but disconnected underneath

This work is collaborative and paced to your relationship — not prescriptive or agenda-driven.

Session Format & Practical Details

Is Couples Therapy the Right Fit?

Weekly couples therapy is often a good fit if you’re looking for:

  • Gradual, steady change

  • Ongoing support during a complex period

  • Space to explore patterns without urgency or immersion

  • A therapist who can hold nuance without judgment

Some couples eventually choose to deepen the work through an intensive format; others find weekly sessions offer exactly the support they need.

We’ll figure that out together.
