Couples Therapy

Few things are more stressful than difficulties with your partner, and few more rewarding than having a relationship that you feel good about. In couples therapy, we slow down together and listen for what is difficult, to move out of the process of pain and into one of healing.

Couples have always been at least half of my practice, equaling hundreds and hundreds of hours working with people in relationship. I’ve seen some people for nearly a decade, through all phases of their relationship together. And some for just a time or two, to get clear on what they are wanting or not in their relationship anymore.

I support you both, whether you stay together or break up. Therapy can be a good way to figure out the best path forward. And couples therapy can be an especially fruitful format to explore yourself and heal your suffering, while strengthening both your bond and sense of freedom with each other.

My approach draws from extensive training in PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy, and Relational Gestalt Therapy, supported by a long engagement with psychoanalytic and contemplative traditions. Body and mind.

We will explore not just what has gone wrong, but also what you long to bring into your reality.

You might find couples therapy supportive if you are:
•    Caught in painful cycles of distance or conflict
•    Struggling to trust again after rupture
•    Yearning for more intimacy, safety, or aliveness
•    Navigating growth, change, or transition together
•    Wanting not just to repair — but to reimagine your relationship

Through our work, you may:
•    See each other more clearly, beyond old patterns
•    Strengthen your nervous system’s capacity to stay present together
•    Repair moments of rupture with more care and flexibility
•    Rekindle the creative, alive connection that brought you together

A relationship is not a fixed thing, although it can feel sedimented. If you’re interested in feeling something new, I invite you to reach out.

How I Work

Before we move into change, we first create space to truly see what is happening — not just in words, but in body, breath, and feeling.

Our work together won’t be about blame or quick fixes. It’s a collaborative process that supports you to:

1. Slow down the cycle.
Notice and interrupt painful patterns in real time, creating space for something new.

2. Listen beneath the surface.
Tune into the subtle signals — body language, emotions, nervous system cues — that shape your connection.

3. Build new relational habits.
Through presence, repair, and practice, you develop a more flexible, resilient bond that can grow over time.

 

I work with couples of all kinds. All are welcome.
