Strengthening Connection, Restoring Trust

Every relationship faces challenges, but when conflict, distance, or betrayal take hold, it can feel overwhelming. Maybe you and your partner are stuck in constant arguments, struggling to rebuild trust after infidelity, or feeling more like roommates than lovers. Parenthood, demanding careers, and the daily stress of managing a household can slowly erode connection, leaving couples feeling disconnected. Over time, unresolved tension, lack of intimacy, or simply drifting apart can create a sense of loneliness—even in the presence of the person you love.

Breaking Negative Cycles: Communication and Boundaries

Relationships aren’t just built on love—they’re built on communication, emotional safety, and mutual respect. Many couples fall into negative patterns of blame, avoidance, or emotional withdrawal, making it difficult to repair and reconnect. But just as conflict can create distance, intentional, skillful communication can restore closeness.

Using research-based approaches like Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help couples:

• Break toxic communication cycles and replace them with healthier dialogue.
• Express needs and concerns without blame or defensiveness.
• Develop emotional regulation skills to manage conflict constructively.
• Strengthen intimacy and connection by fostering deeper emotional safety.
• Set clear, respectful boundaries to protect the relationship from unnecessary stress.

Many relationship struggles stem from unresolved patterns from family of origin. We often communicate, manage stress, and show love the way we were taught—especially under pressure. If past wounds aren’t healed, they repeat. In therapy, we’ll explore these influences and develop healthier, more intentional ways of relating.

Finding Clarity: Rebuilding or Moving Forward

For some couples, therapy is about finding a way back to each other. For others, it’s about understanding whether the relationship should continue. If separation is the best path forward, therapy can provide guidance on how to navigate this transition with mutual respect and care. Either way, our work together is about helping you make intentional, thoughtful choices—not just reacting to emotions in the moment.

Relationships Thrive When Both People Feel Seen and Valued

Couples counseling isn’t about picking sides or deciding who’s “right.” It’s about helping both partners feel heard, understood, and empowered to create a more fulfilling dynamic.
