Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy for Real Change and Deeper Connection

Most couples don’t come to therapy because they don’t love each other.They come because they’ve lost their way in the patterns.

I’m a Level 3 trained Gottman Method couples therapist with advanced training in trauma and affair recovery. I have also completed the Externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and am working toward certification—integrating two of the most respected, research-based approaches to helping couples heal and reconnect. I work with both heterosexual and queer couples, and I approach each relationship with care, respect, and an awareness that no two partnerships are the same.

Why this work feels different

We don’t stay on the surface—we gently get to what’s really happening underneath
You’ll begin to understand the “why” behind your reactions and your partner’s
We slow things down so both of you can feel seen, heard, and understood
I guide the process with intention, clarity, and deep respect for both of you
This is thoughtful, specialized care—not one-size-fits-all therapy

What begins to shift

The same arguments start to lose their grip
Communication feels less reactive and more meaningful
Emotional walls soften, and connection becomes more accessible
You begin to feel like you’re on the same team again

Whether you are feeling distant, stuck in painful cycles, or trying to rebuild after a rupture, I will meet you with warmth, honesty, and a steady path forward.

Many queer couples have had the experience of feeling misunderstood in traditional, heteronormative couples therapy—where assumptions about roles, conflict, and connection don’t quite fit. As someone who is both highly trained in couples therapy and in a queer relationship myself, I bring not only clinical expertise but lived understanding into the room. I understand that queer relationships often move outside of traditional frameworks, and that difference matters. This combination allows me to support queer couples in a way that feels more accurate, nuanced, and deeply attuned to the realities of their relationship.
