Couples Therapy
Whether married, unmarried, or in an alternate relationship structure, in therapy with committed partners we work together to:
Improve communication and resolve ongoing conflicts
Rebuild trust and intimacy after difficult periods
Develop deeper understanding of each other's experiences
Navigate major life transitions as a team
Strengthen your connection while honoring individual growth
Sessions are a nonjudgmental space where both partners can feel heard and understood. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be creating distance and develop practical strategies to foster a more fulfilling relationship.
I work with partners in the early stages of commitment, planning marriage, and at every age and stage of life.
Our work together could take the form of weekly or biweekly sessions, a weekend intensive, or a mini intensive. We would decide together what format would make the most sense for you.
The Process
Step 1: Consultation
The first step is a phone consultation, which you can book here if you’re ready. No cost or obligation — it’s a chance for us to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and begin to get a sense if we’d be a good fit.
Step 2: Assessment
This stage has two parts. The first is the intake package, which includes history and background, assessments, and questions for reflection. The second part is a 90-minute therapy session.
Step 3: Recommendations
After that 90-minute session, I will make recommendations for a treatment track.
Treatment Tracks
-
Weekly or biweekly sessions
Couples who qualify for this track both want to improve their relationship and are ready to engage in the process together
-
Intensives can last from 4 hours to three days
This can be a good option for couples who have time limitations, or are wanting to make rapid progress

-
Short-term structured approach (1-5 sessions) for couples where one or both partners are considering ending the relationship
Focused on gaining clarity about the direction of the relationship before committing to therapy
Helps couples make a thoughtful decision about whether to work on the relationship, maintain the status quo, or move toward separation
-
Recommended when one or both partners have significant individual issues that are interfering with relationship progress
Creates a foundation for more effective couples work later
-
When specific issues like addiction, severe mental health concerns, or domestic violence require specialized treatment before or alongside couples therapy
Is This the Right Fit?
My approach is particularly helpful for those experiencing:
Communication difficulties with loved ones
Feelings of disconnection or emotional distance
Trust issues or healing from relationship wounds
Life transitions that are impacting your relationships
Recurring relationship patterns that leave you feeling stuck
I might be the right therapist for you if:
You're looking for a collaborative approach where your experiences and insights are valued
You're ready to explore relationship patterns with curiosity rather than judgment
You believe growth happens in connection and want to deepen your relational capacities
You're seeking meaningful, lasting change
You value both emotional understanding and practical skill-building
I will not be the right therapist for you if:
you’re looking for quick solutions or for me to fix your partner
you’re not willing to look at yourself and your contributions to the relational system
you’re not willing to change or explore your own personal growth
