Couples Therapy
When love is still present, but the path forward feels unclear.
Together, we make space for honesty, repair, and new ways of relating.
Therapy services for Washington residents are expected to open July 2026.
If you're interested in working together, you're welcome to reach out to begin the conversation.
What Brings Couples to Therapy
Many couples come to therapy not because they’ve stopped loving each other, but because the same painful patterns keep repeating.
Conversations turn into arguments. One partner withdraws while the other pushes harder. Misunderstandings build, and over time it can start to feel like you are speaking completely different emotional languages.
Often, both partners are trying to protect something vulnerable inside themselves — but the way those protections show up can leave each person feeling alone, hurt, or misunderstood.
You might notice:
the same arguments repeating again and again
one partner pursuing while the other withdraws
feeling misunderstood or emotionally alone in the relationship
difficulty repairing after conflict
intimacy or erotic connection fading over time
loving each other but feeling stuck in painful dynamics
Couples therapy helps slow these patterns down so each partner can begin to understand what is happening underneath them — and learn new ways of responding to each other.
My Approach
Couples therapy with me is relational, depth-oriented, and grounded in the body.
Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, we pay attention to the patterns that emerge between you — the moments where nervous systems react, attachment fears surface, and each partner begins protecting themselves in ways that unintentionally push the other away.
Together, we slow these moments down. By understanding what is happening underneath the conflict, couples can begin to respond to each other differently — with more clarity, honesty, and care.
Over time, this creates space for repair, deeper understanding, and renewed connection.
How We Work Together
In our work together we will slow down the moments where conflict escalates and begin to understand what is happening underneath those reactions.
Sessions often include:
• identifying the patterns that repeat between you
• understanding each partner’s emotional triggers and attachment needs
• learning how to pause and repair when conflict escalates
• practicing new ways of communicating that create safety rather than defensiveness
• rebuilding emotional and physical connection over time
Couples therapy is not about deciding who is right.
It is about helping both partners understand each other more clearly and respond differently in moments that previously felt impossible to navigate.
Who This Is For
Couples often reach out when they care deeply about their relationship but feel stuck in patterns they don’t know how to change.
you love each other but feel stuck in the same painful arguments
one partner tends to pursue while the other withdraws
conversations quickly escalate or shut down
misunderstandings leave each of you feeling alone or unheard
trust or emotional safety has been shaken and you want to repair it
intimacy or erotic connection has faded over time
you want to understand each other more deeply and build a stronger relationship
one of you may feel more ready for therapy than the other, but both of you are willing to explore what is happening in the relationship
If some of this feels familiar, couples therapy can help you slow these dynamics down and begin building new ways of relating.

A Gentle Next Step
If you’ve been feeling stuck in the same patterns, you’re not alone. Many couples reach out at a moment when they still care deeply about each other but no longer know how to find their way back to connection.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow down these patterns, understand what is happening beneath them, and begin building new ways of relating to each other.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable. The consultation is simply a chance for us to see whether we feel like a good fit.
