Reconnect Through Compassionate Communication

Couples counseling helps partners slow down, rebuild trust, and find their way back to connection. Whether you’re navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, or emotional distance, therapy offers a space to be heard without blame or judgment.

My approach draws on the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), both rooted in attachment and empathy. These frameworks help you understand underlying needs and patterns so you can move beyond surface-level arguments toward genuine connection.

In our sessions, we’ll identify what’s keeping you apart and practice new ways of relating that feel safe, honest, and supportive. I provide a neutral, affirming space for all couples, including LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and non-traditional relationships, to explore intimacy, boundaries, and shared growth.

How This Helps You:

  • Improve communication and emotional safety
  • Rebuild trust after conflict/rupture, betrayal trauma, or distance/withdrawal
  • Understand recurring patterns and triggers
  • Deepen empathy and understanding for one another
  • Strengthen intimacy and connection
  • Navigate transitions, separations, or new dynamics with care

What to Expect in Sessions

Collaborative, steady, and supportive care

Couples counseling begins with learning about your relationship, what’s working, where you feel stuck, and what you both hope to change. Together, we’ll slow the pace of conversations so you can actually hear each other, not just react.

I help each partner express their needs clearly and listen with openness. Over time, you’ll develop tools to manage conflict, communicate more effectively, and approach challenges with empathy instead of defensiveness.

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s connection. Couples counseling offers a steady, supportive environment where both partners can feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and real. From that place, healing and growth naturally follow.
