Couples Therapy

People come to couples therapy for a plethora of reasons. Perhaps communication has become challenging, intimacy has grown stale, trust has been broken, outside stressors have come between you, or you’ve simply lost your way to each other. For some, couples therapy is a place of discernment – is it best to stay together or part ways? Regardless of the circumstances, couples therapy provides a safe, neutral, supportive space for people to speak up for themselves, explore habits, challenge assumptions, and renegotiate their relationship contract.

When we learn to express our needs and desires with honesty, clarity and confidence we allow our relationships to deepen, enrich, and for trust to build. For many, however, this kind of freedom of expression feels daunting, even impossible. Many folks have not had healthy examples to follow and do not want to repeat dynamics seen in their families, relationships, and cultures. Couples therapy allows partners to explore the root causes of conflicts within the relationship to heal and grow, while fostering a deeper connection within the relationship built on mutual respect, honesty and trust.

I offer couples therapy sessions for clients in all types of relationships, and provide effective strategies and tools tailored to each couple’s unique needs. I work with partners in both traditional and non-traditional relationships, including non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.

Areas of Expertise in Couples Therapy:

I offer couples therapy sessions for clients in all types of relationships, and provide effective strategies and tools tailored to each couple’s unique needs. I work with partners in both traditional and non-traditional relationships, including non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.

Additionally, I offer specialized discernment sessions. Over the course of approximately five sessions, I help couples navigate important conversations about whether they want to work on or end the relationship. Sometimes the healthiest path is one in which couples free each other from each other. Through open, courageous communication clients can learn how to untangle the knots, find clarity and empowerment. For couples who decide to separate, I offer guidance in navigating co-parenting, finances, living situations, and how to move forward with care and respect for each other.
