For Couples
How I Can Help You
Repairing After Betrayal or Rupture
Whether you’re healing from infidelity or emotional distance, I help couples move through pain with honesty, empathy, and a structured path toward rebuilding trust and safety.
Communication That Connects
If you’re stuck in the same arguments or just not feeling heard, you may be caught in a negative cycle. I help couples get underneath the surface fights and learn how to talk in ways that truly reach one another.
Feeling Unseen, Unknown, or Alone in Your Relationship
Many couples feel like roommates—present, but emotionally distant. Therapy helps you reconnect on a deeper level so you both feel more secure, valued, and emotionally understood.
Longing for More Emotional Closeness
Whether you’ve been together for years or are in a newer relationship facing stress or disconnect, I guide couples back to intimacy—emotionally, physically, and relationally—by creating a space where both partners feel safe showing up fully.
