Couples / Relational Therapy

When communication and connection feel “off” in our relationships, it can affect us deeply. This often leads to feeling more isolated than we expect, even when we’re together. Common challenges I support couples and relational groups with are recurring conflicts, feeling disconnected, and adjusting to life transitions.

In couples and relational therapy, I help bring awareness to your relationship patterns by exploring each person’s internal emotional experience. This creates space for practicing new ways of relating, both to yourselves and to each other. I work collaboratively with you, adapting to your unique dynamics and goals. I offer guidance and support to process conflict and heal emotional wounds, inviting mutual vulnerability that strengthens attachment, love, and support within your relationship.

Many clients find this work leads to clearer communication, deeper understanding, and a stronger sense of emotional safety, helping relationships become a source of comfort and resilience. I also work with other relational groups seeking to improve their connections, such as siblings, business partners, friends, co-parents, and parent-and-adult-child relationships.

If you have questions or want to explore therapy together, feel free to reach out.
