Couples Counseling

You want peace, but it feels out of reach.
You’re caught in the same cycle of arguments, misunderstandings, and disconnect. You’re tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like roommates instead of partners. You want things to change, but you’re not sure how, or where to even start.

Couples Therapy That Gets to the Heart of the Issue

Most couples I work with aren’t just looking to “vent.” They want real change, and fast. That’s why in our very first session, you’ll walk away with practical tools to help you shift out of the stuck dynamics you’re in.

We won’t just talk about the problem. We’ll:

  • Identify the patterns that keep you stuck

  • Introduce tools to use between sessions

  • Review what worked and what didn’t

  • Adjust and build on your progress week by week

Whether your goal is to reconnect, improve communication, or peacefully separate, couples counseling provides a structured space to help you move forward with clarity.

When You’re Caught in the Cycle

You may feel:

  • Resentment building with no release

  • Stuck in a pattern of fighting that never really resolves anything

  • Confused about why your partner has such a big reaction to something that seems small to you

  • Like you’re talking, but not really hearing each other

  • Disconnected emotionally or physically

  • Like you’re living parallel lives instead of sharing one

This “new normal” doesn’t feel good. You want to feel like a team again. You want peace. But instead, you’re exhausted from the tension and unsure how to repair what’s been lost.

How Couples Counseling Can Help

In our work together, you’ll learn how to:

  • Break out of the cycles of blame, defensiveness, or withdrawal

  • Understand and respond to each other’s triggers more compassionately

  • Repair emotional ruptures in a way that builds trust

  • Talk about hard things without spiraling into conflict

  • Rebuild connection, emotionally, physically, and relationally

Sessions are structured, practical, and grounded in tools you can use right away.

Supporting All Types of Couples

I work with couples in a wide range of situations:

Relationship Repair

You still care about each other, but the arguments, resentment, or silence are driving a wedge between you. We’ll uncover what’s fueling the disconnect, and work toward healing the relationship through healthier communication, deeper understanding, and mutual respect.

Peaceful Separation

Sometimes, the healthiest next step is to go your separate ways, but that doesn’t mean it has to be chaotic or combative. I support couples who’ve decided to end their relationship and want to do so peacefully, especially when children are involved. Therapy provides a space to process, plan, and part with intention.

Premarital Counseling

You’re ready to take the next step, and you want to make sure you’re truly aligned. Premarital counseling helps you explore communication styles, values, roles, expectations, and how you handle stress and conflict. It’s not about uncovering flaws, it’s about building a solid foundation for a successful future together.

Growth-Oriented Couples

Not every couple comes to therapy in crisis. Some just want to feel closer, communicate more openly, or become more intentional in their relationship. If you’re looking to go from “fine” to deeply connected, couples counseling can help you create a more fulfilling dynamic.

What to Expect

  • Actionable tools from the first session

  • Collaborative approach where both partners feel heard and understood

  • Clear structure and consistent check-ins to track what’s working

  • Inclusive care for all relationship structures and identities (including LGBTQ+ couples)

All sessions are offered online, making it easy to attend from wherever you are.

Ready to Create Real Change in Your Relationship?

Whether you're fighting to stay together, choosing to part ways, or preparing for the next chapter, couples counseling can give you the clarity and tools you need.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.
