Couples Therapy

Couples therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface of your relationship. When conflict or repeated patterns take hold, it’s often not a lack of love or effort, but unmet needs, old wounds, and nervous systems trying to stay safe. I work with couples from a trauma-informed lens, honoring the reality that our past experiences shape how we show up with one another, especially in moments of stress or disconnection.

My approach is grounded in attachment theory, helping couples identify unhelpful interaction patterns while also building practical skills for communication, repair, and emotional attunement. We explore how each partner’s attachment needs, expectations, and protective strategies interact, often unintentionally fueling cycles of conflict or withdrawal. Together, we work to strengthen trust and increase emotional safety.

I also integrate elements of inner child work, recognizing that many relational triggers are tied to younger parts of ourselves that learned how to survive long before the relationship began. By gently bringing awareness and compassion to these parts, couples can move away from blame and toward curiosity about themselves and each other. This work allows space for deeper empathy, making room for more authentic connection.

Relationships are complex, and loving someone does not make them easy. Couples therapy is not about assigning fault or forcing harmony, it’s about understanding the emotional logic behind your patterns and learning how to navigate conflict. Whether you’re facing ongoing tension, navigating a transition, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, therapy can help you create a relationship that feels more connected and secure.
