Couples Counseling

Every relationship has a story. Let’s write the next chapter with clarity, compassion, and intention.

You love each other, but lately it feels like you’re on different teams. Maybe the arguments never end. Maybe the silence feels heavier than the words. Maybe you’re questioning whether this relationship has a future, or you’re considering how to separate without destroying everything you’ve built. Wherever you are, you don’t have to face it alone.

Couples come to me for many different reasons. Some want to feel close again, some need clarity about the future, and some are navigating separation and co-parenting. Whatever stage you’re in, therapy offers a safe, supportive space to slow down, hear each other, and begin moving forward with intention.

Couples often seek therapy for:

Communication & Conflict: Recurring arguments, misunderstandings, or difficulty feeling heard

Life Transitions: Adjusting to parenthood, career changes, relocation, or chronic illness

Intimacy & Trust: Rebuilding after betrayal, navigating mismatched needs, or reconnecting emotionally and physically

Family Stressors: Parenting differences, blended family dynamics, extended family pressures

Other Concerns: Addiction and recovery, co-parenting after separation, deciding whether to commit, balancing family, career, and personal fulfillment


Traditional Couples Therapy

Many couples reach out because they feel more like roommates than partners, or because every conversation ends in conflict. Traditional couples therapy helps repair disconnection, improve communication, and rebuild trust and intimacy. Using approaches like the Gottman Method and Imago Therapy, I help couples break free from cycles that keep them stuck and create new patterns of closeness and support.

This work is especially meaningful if you want to improve communication, strengthen your bond, rebuild after infidelity, or find balance between parenting, career, and partnership. Conflict can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of connection. With the right support, it can become the doorway to deeper understanding.

Client Story: “We’ve been married for 10 years, and lately it feels like we’re just passing each other in the kitchen. Every little thing turns into an argument, and neither of us feels heard. We don’t want to keep living like this, but we’re not sure how to change it.”

In couples therapy, many partners start in this exact place. Together, we slow down the arguments, uncover the patterns keeping you stuck, and rebuild trust and intimacy.


Discernment Counseling

Sometimes one or both partners feel uncertain about whether to stay in the relationship. Discernment counseling is a short-term, focused process that creates space to slow down, explore options, and gain clarity about the future. It’s not about forcing a decision. It’s about helping you both understand what repair would require, and whether you are willing to try, or whether separation is the healthier path forward.

For many couples, simply having a structured space to ask, “Should we stay or should we go?” brings relief. Clarity itself can be healing, even before a decision is made.

Client Story: “I’m torn. Part of me wants to keep trying, but part of me wonders if we’re just too different. My partner feels ready to give up, and I don’t even know if counseling will help us. I just want clarity about whether we should keep going or end things.”

Discernment counseling offers structure when you’re on the fence. Sometimes couples find a renewed sense of hope, and sometimes they discover that separating is healthier. Either way, the process gives you clarity and peace of mind.


Divorce, Conscious Uncoupling, & Couples Care

For couples who decide to part ways, therapy can make the process less painful and more intentional. Conscious uncoupling supports couples in separating with dignity, reducing conflict, and avoiding unnecessary legal battles. Divorce counseling also helps both partners work through the emotions of loss while learning how to collaborate in new ways, especially when children are involved.

Together we can work on emotional closure, co-parenting plans, setting boundaries, and creating a respectful path forward. Even in endings, there is the possibility of healing, dignity, and growth.

Client Story: “We’ve decided to separate, but we don’t want the divorce to turn ugly. We have kids, and we don’t want them caught in the middle. We just don’t know how to manage our emotions while trying to be respectful co-parents.”

Conscious uncoupling and divorce counseling create a space to process emotions, reduce conflict, and focus on what matters most — your well-being and your family’s future.
