Couples counseling

Helping couples heal their relationships by empowering them to better understand both their partner & themselves.

You love each other. But that doesn’t mean things are always easy.

You’re fighting more than you used to. The ease and bliss of the early days of your relationship are gone; as you’ve become more committed, it’s like the disappointment and frustration have grown, too.

There have been a few big fights here and there, but it’s the regular, smaller arguments that are starting to really add up.

As much as you love each other, you’ve begun to wonder if you’re really supposed to be together—if you’re truly right for one another. You don’t want that to be the case, but you also know these questions need to be answered and these issues addressed in order for you to move forward.

You don’t want to go into (or continue) marriage like this. Something has to change — in yourselves and in your relationship as a whole — if this is going to be successful.

You’re ready to:

  • Understand why these things are happening, so you can actually change them

  • Be able to see your partner’s perspective without giving up your own

  • Navigate differences in culture, race, religion, or upbringing that are impacting how you connect to one another

  • Feel heard and understood in your relationship

  • Create healthy boundaries that support you & your partner as a unit

  • Equip your marriage for future success

How it works

It’s possible to mend these fractures and move into the future together, all without losing your authentic selves.

We all have expectations about how our relationships should work. When those expectations aren’t met, it becomes a recipe for anger, disappointment, and resentment. In couples counseling, we start by recognizing and communicating those expectations: which are reasonable, which are negotiable, and which are unrealistic? This gives your partner and you a common understanding to work from when it comes to the way you relate to each other.

Each of you is also bringing your own past into this relationship. You’ve been programmed to think or act in certain ways — ways that may feel normal to you but can be hurtful or harmful when left unacknowledged. Using methods like Brainspotting, I can help you unpack and process these things individually, because each of your experiences is real, valid, and deserving of attention.

Then, with approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Brainspotting, I can help you create new ways of relating to one another. You’ll reduce conflict, improve communication, and rebuild that strong connection that brought you together in the first place.


My goal is that you leave each session with something tangible to apply to your day-to-day: something to think about, something to try, something to read, or another tool to begin making the small tweaks that add up to big change. If your busy schedule doesn’t allow for traditional weekly or biweekly therapy, I also offer intensives. Click here to learn more.
