Would You Like to Finally Be Seen and Heard by Your Partner?

You're here because you're wondering if your relationship can still be repaired. Once, you laughed together, shared dreams, and genuinely enjoyed each other’s company. Now, it feels like you’re living together as roommates—passing each other in the same space but feeling worlds apart. You are both miserable and burnt out. 

Every conversation seems to spiral into an argument, leaving you both feeling exhausted and unheard. 

You feel more like adversaries than partners, constantly invalidated and disconnected.

Affection is dwindling, and intimacy feels like a distant memory. “Does my partner even want me anymore?” “Will this only keep getting worse?”—these thoughts weigh on you.

You don't have to stay stuck in this painful cycle.

You Deserve More Than Just Surface-Level Fixes  

The truth is, communication skills alone won’t solve the deeper struggles in your relationship. Real transformation happens when you:

✔ Understand the core differences that keep causing conflict.
✔ Repair trust and connection in a meaningful way.
✔ Learn to honor your differences while building a stronger foundation together.

You don't just speak different languages. You live in different realities. You each filter the world based on your past, your childhood patterns, trauma, beliefs, values, experiences... Learning communications skills is helpful but I find that it is also very important to learn how your partner experiences the world. You will need to move from reacting to knowing each other more deeply and understanding the way you both see the world. 

As a therapist specializing exclusively in couples, I help partners reconnect, rebuild, and thrive—even after years of hurt and resentment. With lots of lived experience worth more than one lifetime, I am able to understand many couples' struggles. You will both feel validated by me and also held accountable at the same time. That's where the magic happens.

How I Can Help You Heal & Reconnect

Relationships are deeply personal, and so is my approach to therapy. Here’s what we’ll focus on:

Breaking Old Patterns: We’ll identify and change the repetitive cycles keeping you stuck, replacing them with healthier, more constructive dynamics.


Re-romanticizing Your Relationship: Together, we’ll rebuild emotional and physical intimacy so that closeness feels natural again.


Deep Compassion Through Understanding: By uncovering the emotional wounds and triggers beneath your conflicts, you’ll learn to see each other with greater empathy.


Building Resilience as a Team: When you shift from “me versus you” to “us versus the problem,” challenges become far more manageable.

Am I the Right Therapist for You?

The couples I work with are:

  •  Willing to actively participate—this is your relationship, and real change requires engagement. ​​​​

  • Open to new perspectives—I ask thought-provoking questions to help you think and feel through things in a new way.

  • Okay with occasional “homework”—worksheets, short readings, or small exercises between sessions help deepen your progress and make the most of our time together.

Life Is Hard. Don't Take It Out On Each Other

You don’t have to stay stuck in pain, resentment, or uncertainty. Your relationship can heal. Therapy can help you break free from this cycle and create the connection, trust, and intimacy you both deserve.

Don’t settle. Don’t let more time pass feeling miserable. Life is short. Let’s get started.

MY BEST USES AS A COUPLES THERAPIST

VALUES MISALIGNMENT

Feel like your relationship is caught in a loop of constant misunderstandings and clashes? You might find yourself wishing for more harmony and peace.

What of yourself do you see in your partner? Or, what of yourself do you need to see in your partner in order to stay in the relationship? 

 

We can unravel the complexities of values mismatch, turning points of tension into avenues of understanding. Looking deeply at your beliefs and philosophies about life is necessary for finding out if there is enough overlap between your values in a way that doesn't lead to chronic destruction of your wellbeing.

ATTACHMENT INJURIES

Are past wounds, trust issues, or emotional scars casting a shadow on your relationship? Do you notice you're stuck in a cycle of pain you just can't seem to get out of? I've witnessed that kind of deep pain many times. Your relationship might've suffered an attachment injury. 

 

I can guide you through the process of healing attachment injuries, providing a healthy haven to address and overcome the emotional hurdles standing in your way. Unpack the emotional baggage, rebuild trust, and create a relationship that's not just surviving but thriving.

NEURODIVERSE COUPLES COUNSELING

Did you just find out you or your partner are neurodivergent? Suspecting ADHD or being on the spectrum? It's natural to have a lot of questions about what this means for the future of your relationship. 

 

Neurology matters: it is important to view a mixed-neurotype partnership through this lens as opposed to focusing only on external conflicts. 

The neurodivergent person will remain neurodivergent. But that doesn't mean that the relationship is doomed.

SEX AND INTIMACY CHALLENGES

Has it been difficult to talk to each other about intimacy in a way that makes you both feel safe and heard? Has it felt impossible to express your sexual and intimacy needs? Do you struggle with knowing how to appropriately react to your partner's requests without feeling offended or turned off? 

If you're worried about passion fading or your sexual preferences being misaligned, I can help support you on the journey towards a better, more enjoyable intimate life, and come out of this experience as a united, resilient couple.
