Couples Therapy

For the parts of your relationship that feel unseen, stuck, or longing for something more.

I work exclusively with couples who want to move beyond surface-level solutions. Many of the couples I see are seeking meaningful change and come in feeling caught in recurring conflict, are emotionally disconnected, navigating trust ruptures, or unsure how to move forward together. My work is focused on helping relationships heal, deepen, and grow in practical, lasting ways.

I am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, and this provides a strong foundation for my work with couples—especially in helping partners understand their patterns, communicate more safely, and reconnect emotionally. I also draw from emotionally focused and attachment-based approaches, along with an understanding of how stress and the nervous system shape our reactions in relationships. I bring both clinical training and life experience into the room, recognizing that real relationships are shaped by lived experience, transition, and pressure—not just theory. This allows me to tailor the work to what your relationship truly needs.

Couples often come to me feeling stuck in cycles they don’t fully understand, wanting things to feel better but unsure how to change them. Together, we slow things down, clarify what’s happening beneath the surface, and build emotional safety and skills that support real progress—whether you’re early in your relationship or many years in.
