COUPLES THERAPY
From Conflict & Withdrawal to Secure Connection
I help you identify the repetitive loops and unspoken injuries eroding your partnership — and transform reactive patterns into something more secure and intimate.
Proactive Relational Growth Whether you're preparing for marriage or stepping into parenthood together, we work to strengthen your foundation.
Active Coaching & Repair I take a direct, feedback-oriented role in our work — helping each partner heal their own wounds with the other present. It's a rare and powerful space for accountability, deep repair, and the kind of clarity that changes how you move through conflict together.
How I Can Help
Understand the patterns beneath the conflict — Explore the inherited patterns, attachment wounds, trauma, and protective strategies that shape how you relate, so you can consciously create something different together.
Break cycles that keep repeating — Using the evidence-based, skills-focused Gottman Method, develop practical tools for communication, conflict, repair, friendship, and connection.
Repair what has gone unspoken — Move beyond surface-level communication to understand the unmet needs, accumulated hurts, and relational injuries underneath resentment, disconnection, or withdrawal.
Create a more balanced relationship — Using Relational Life Therapy, explore power dynamics, boundaries, responsibility, and the ways each partner's history can influence the relationship.
Build safety and connection in your bodies, not just your minds — Through somatic work and co-regulation, learn to recognize patterns of activation and shutdown and create greater steadiness and connection together.
Deepen emotional and physical intimacy — Understand what gets in the way of genuine closeness and create the safety needed for intimacy that feels mutual, authentic, and alive.
Create the relationship you want to live inside — Move from simply managing conflict to building a relationship rooted in trust, mutuality, and fulfilling connection.
WHAT BRINGS COUPLES IN
Feeling more like roommates than partners
The same fight on repeat with no resolution
One partner withdrawing, the other pursuing — and neither feeling heard
Rebuilding trust after betrayal or dishonesty
Intimacy & sexual connection — differing desire, mismatched needs, or a sex life that shifted after baby and hasn't found its way back
The invisible mental load falling unevenly on one partner
Issues around money
Differing parenting philosophies and approaches
In-law dynamics
Navigating cultural or religious differences
Preparing for a major life transition and wanting to do it consciously
Repairing and reconnecting after a season of pure survival mode
Every kind of relationship is welcome here
Romantic partners, friends, family members, co-workers: if your relationship needs tending, this is a place to do that work. I work with LGBTQIA+, ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous, interfaith, and interracial relationships, and with people of all genders and orientations, in pairs or groups of three or more, using a sex-positive, judgment-free approach.
Investment
Initial Consultation (20 min) Complimentary — I offer a free 20-minute consult call for couples to explore if we’d be a good fit to work together.
Couple Therapy Sessions (75 min) $250- $300 — Choose the rate that is sustainable for you. Ongoing sessions are 75 minutes because the work is inherently more complex — we're holding two individual experiences and the relationship between them. The extra time means we're not rushing, and you're not leaving mid-process. But if you prefer a shorter session, 50 minutes is available as well. Intake sessions are 90-minutes to allow time to map your history as individuals and as a couple, clarify your goals, and lay the foundation for the work ahead, and is prorated at your same hourly rate.
Couples therapy is typically a private-pay service. Insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis, which a couple often does not qualify for. In some cases, one or both partners may meet criteria for a reimbursable diagnosis — and if that diagnosis becomes a clinical focus of the couples work, insurance billing may be possible. This will be evaluated during your intake session. You're welcome to check your potential benefits below as a first step, though whether reimbursement is possible will depend on the diagnosis determined at intake.
