Couples Therapy: Because ‘I’m Fine’ Is Never Actually Fine

Rebuilding connection strengthening your foundation

Relationships can be deeply fulfilling—and incredibly challenging. Whether you're facing ongoing conflict, feeling emotionally distant, or struggling to stay connected through life’s transitions, couples therapy can help.

I use research-based techniques from the Gottman Method to help couples identify core issues, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Together, we’ll work to better understand your patterns, strengthen your emotional bond, and develop tools to manage conflict in healthier, more productive ways.

Couples come to therapy with a variety of concerns, including:

• Feeling disconnected or misunderstood

• Communication breakdowns

• Stress from new parenthood or major life changes

• Co-parenting difficulties

• Lingering resentment or emotional distance

When communication breaks down, partners stop feeling safe, valued, or understood. Misunderstandings snowball into distance; small frustrations turn into deep hurt. You may love each other deeply, yet still feel miles apart.

I proudly work with all types of couples—married, dating, LGBTQ+, blended families, and everything in between. As an ally, I provide a safe, affirming space where your relationship is respected and supported, no matter how it’s defined.

You don’t have to stay stuck in the same cycle. Whether you’re looking to reconnect, repair, or deepen your partnership, I’ll guide you with compassion, clarity, and a commitment to your growth—both as individuals and as a couple.

Couples therapy isn’t about deciding who’s right or wrong; it’s about learning to communicate in a way that heals instead of harms. When both of you feel truly heard, understood, and respected, you can transform conflict into collaboration—and rediscover the closeness that brought you together in the first place.

Co-Parenting Support: Working Together for What Matters Most—Your Child

Building healthier communication-for the kids and for yourselves

Co-parenting isn’t always easy, especially when emotions are high or past hurts are unresolved. Whether you're co-parenting after a separation, divorce, or within a strained relationship, learning to communicate more effectively can make a meaningful difference for everyone involved—especially your children.

In therapy, I help co-parents:

• Improve communication and reduce conflict

• Set clear, respectful boundaries

• Stay child-focused while managing strong emotions

• Navigate differences in parenting styles

• Build a more stable, cooperative foundation

You don’t have to agree on everything to parent well together—but you do need the tools to communicate clearly and respectfully. I’m here to help you shift the dynamic, reduce stress, and create a more peaceful co-parenting relationship.

How We’ll Work Together

A collaborative journey toward clarity, healing, and lasting change

• Create a safe, neutral space using skills and teachings from the Gottman Method, where both voices matter. No interruptions, no scoring points—just genuine listening.

• Identify the hidden patterns. Psychodynamic exploration helps us uncover the unspoken expectations and past experiences (family dynamics, attachment styles, old hurts) that shape how you show up with one another today.

• Practice new communication skills in real time. We’ll use evidence-based techniques—reflective listening, emotion labeling, and gentle start-ups—so you can say the hard things without causing harm.

• Repair and rebuild. You’ll learn how to apologize effectively, offer (and receive) empathy, and create rituals of connection that make your relationship feel safe again.

• Move from “me vs. you” to “us vs. the problem.” Together, you’ll develop a shared roadmap for handling conflict and nurturing intimacy going forward
