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 Therapy

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.
