Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is collaborative work focused on helping you and your partner understand what happens between you when communication becomes difficult, conflict repeats, or emotional distance begins to grow. We start by identifying the patterns that leave one or both of you feeling unheard, defensive, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward.

From there, I help you slow these interactions down and examine the emotions, expectations, and past experiences that may be shaping them. Sessions provide space for each partner to speak openly while also learning to listen with greater clarity and less reactivity. The goal is not to assign blame, but to understand the relationship as a shared dynamic.

Our work may include practicing more constructive communication, preparing for difficult conversations, setting appropriate boundaries, and developing healthier ways to respond during moments of tension. We focus on practical changes that feel realistic for your relationship rather than relying on rigid formulas.

Between sessions, you may be encouraged to notice recurring patterns or practice a specific way of communicating. We then review what happened and adjust our approach together. My aim is to help you create a relationship that feels more respectful, honest, emotionally secure, and aligned with what both of you want to build.
