Relationships can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives, but they're not always easy to navigate. Sometimes couples come to therapy because they're struggling to communicate, feeling disconnected, or finding themselves having the same arguments despite their best efforts to work through them.

On the surface, it may seem like the issue is the dishes, the finances, intimacy, or how often someone texts back. Underneath those conversations is often a desire to feel understood, valued, connected, and secure in the relationship. When those needs go unmet, couples can find themselves caught in patterns that leave both partners feeling frustrated, hurt, or alone.

Couples therapy provides a space to slow down, better understand what's happening beneath the surface, and learn how to approach one another differently. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help both partners feel heard, understood, and better equipped to navigate challenges together.

Common questions

Do we have to be in crisis to start couples therapy?
No. Many couples come precisely because they are not in crisis. They have noticed something they would rather understand now than wait for it to get worse. Starting before things feel urgent often makes the work easier, not less worthwhile.
What if one of us is more reluctant about coming?
That is common, and it is workable. It is normal for one partner to feel more ready than the other. You do not both need to arrive certain that this is the answer. What matters is a willingness to be in the room and look honestly at what is happening between you. Often the hesitation itself is worth understanding, and we can make room for it rather than pushing past it.
Can we each be in our own individual therapy at the same time?
Yes, and for many couples the two support each other. If you are already seeing your own therapist, that is welcome. Our couples work stays focused on what happens between the two of you, while your individual work stays your own.
How does telehealth work for couples?
Couples sessions are held over secure video. I ask that both partners join together from the same space when possible, since much of the work happens in how you relate to each other in the moment. If that is not workable for a given session, we can talk through options.
What happens during the free consultation?
The consultation is a free 15-minute phone call where we can discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we're a good fit. There is no pressure or obligation to move forward.
