Couples Therapy

I help couples really see each other by overcoming barriers to connection. I support them in guiding meaningful shifts in how they talk and listen, especially when cultural or neurotype differences exist between them.

Being in an intimate relationship with another person can be an incredible growth opportunity, but often challenges that come up can be overwhelming. Coming to therapy can ensure that you are communicating effectively and meeting each others needs. My approach to couples work is informed by EFT, which helps couples get to the root of their issues. I specialize in working with partners who are parenting, especially new parents and LGBTQ+ couples.

  • The transition into parenthood

  • Frequent conflict
