The most important investment you’ll ever make is in the health of your relationship.
2:1 Couples Therapy or Coaching with Dr. RachelHONOR YOUR connection. Deepen safety. Master communication. ignite the aliveness between you.
We’re often measured by our success in work, finances, or outward achievements, but the true heartbeat of life is found in the quality of our relationships. The kind of partnership we nurture behind closed doors, the way we communicate and navigate challenges, the tenderness and care we bring to one another…this is what determines how safe, alive, and fulfilled we truly feel.
Too often, couples don’t have the tools or the space to show up for love skillfully. That’s why I’ve created a safe, supportive, and time-limited opportunity to invest in your relationship at an accessible price, so you can strengthen the foundation that matters most: the love that holds your life together.
Our work together will be
-
A Space to Slow Down & Really Listen
We create a safe and structured space where both partners can be seen and heard. You'll learn to communicate not just clearly but vulnerably, with presence, care, and accountability.
-
An invitation to heal old patterns
Using EFT and Imago-informed approaches, we explore the early attachment dynamics and childhood imprints that often shape how we relate. Instead of staying stuck in cycles of blame or withdrawal, you’ll learn how to show up from a more integrated, connected place.
-
a practice ground for real connection
Love is a living practice. In our sessions, you’ll build new relational skills like emotional attunement, repair, and nervous system regulation. These can shift your connection from reactive to resilient, from defensive to deeply intimate.
When our work together comes to a close, you and your partner may walk away feeling:
More emotionally connected and attuned to each other’s hearts
Confident in how you navigate conflict with care and clarity
Safe being vulnerable, honest, and fully yourselves
Able to repair and rebuild after rupture
Connected to a shared vision and renewed intimacy
More rooted in trust, truth, and tenderness
You deserve a relationship that feels like a soft place to land and a brave space to grow.
Couples work
Whether you're longing for deeper intimacy, struggling with repeated conflict, or feeling disconnected and unsure where to begin—you're not alone. Every relationship holds the potential for healing, growth, and reconnection when both people feel safe enough to show up honestly.
My work with couples is grounded in attachment-based and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and is deeply influenced by Imago relationship theory, nonviolent communication, somatic awareness, and T-group relational intelligence. Together, we uncover what’s happening beneath the surface—often unmet needs, early wounds, and unspoken fears—and learn to navigate these tender places with compassion, curiosity, and skill.
Join a powerful space for couples who are ready to move beyond looping conversations and rediscover the intimacy, joy, and teamwork you were meant to have.

Special Offer — For a Limited Time 〰️
If you’ve been here, you’re not alone...
You keep having the same conversations, but nothing seems to change. You love each other deeply — yet you keep missing each other. You long to feel close, but tension, exhaustion, or old hurts get in the way. You want to become better at meeting each other’s needs, reacting less immediately, and growing the emotional safety that allows real intimacy to thrive.
Most couples think they have a communication problem.
What’s really happening is a connection problem.
When safety is missing, even the best communication skills can’t land.
That’s where this work begins.

In our 2:1 sessions, we’ll go beneath the words — into the patterns, protections, and longings that shape how you connect.
You’ll learn to:
Regulate together so hard conversations become safe again
Repair conflict skillfully instead of spiraling for hours
Rebuild trust and intimacy after disconnection
Bring play, creativity, and aliveness back into your relationship
Communicate with honesty and compassion — without losing yourself
