Help for Couples

​
I help couples reconnect, overcome challenges, and communicate more effectively. Whether you're facing ongoing conflict, struggling with intimacy, or feeling emotionally distant, therapy can help you rebuild a stronger, more fulfilling relationship."

Couples I work with often experience less conflict, improved collaboration in decision-making, and a deeper sense of closeness.

Common Focus Areas in Couples Therapy:
  • Strengthening communication
  • Deepening intimacy
  • Navigating ambivalence about the relationship
  • Managing major life transitions (marriage, parenting, retirement)
  • Addressing sexual concerns and fulfillment
  • Handling parenting challenges
  • Rebuilding trust after infidelity​

While every couple’s process is different, most couples I work with notice meaningful improvement within 6-12 sessions.

I provide an individualized assessment for each couple that identifies:

Personality differences
Emotional sensitivities
External stressors
Difficult patterns of interactions

With an in-depth assessment, we can focus on changing behaviors and developing new skills.

Here are some examples of what you'll learn in therapy:

  • Express difficult emotions effectively
  • Listen in a way that makes your partner feel truly heard
  • Navigate household responsibilities and finances as a team
  • Initiate and decline physical intimacy with care and understanding

I am trained in several models of couples therapy that inform my work:

  • Gottman Therapy (Levels 1 and 2)
  • Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
  • Integrated Behavioral Couples Therapy

In all of these models there is a focus on changing patterns of interaction by bringing new attention to emotions and sensitivities that have been hidden or ignored. 

If you're wondering whether couples therapy is right for you, please reach out. I offer a free phone consultation to discuss your concerns and how I can help. Call or text today to get started. 414-502-8282.
