Relationship & Couples Counseling

Inclusive Couples Therapy for Relationships

You’re not alone in navigating relationship challenges. If you and your partner find yourselves stuck in painful patterns—arguing over the same issues, feeling emotionally disconnected, or struggling to communicate—it doesn’t mean your relationship is broken beyond repair. There is a way forward.

I’m here to help you work with each other, not against each other.

Relationship counseling offers a space to slow down, communicate, untangle stuck dynamics, and learn how to show up for each other in new ways. Whether you’re working through conflict, recovering from a rupture, wanting to feel close again, or just seeking communication tools to help you both listen and share better, therapy can help you rebuild trust and intimacy, one conversation at a time.

I Work With Many Kinds of Relationships

Love doesn’t look one way. If you’re navigating complex dynamics, intersectional identities, or nontraditional structures, you’ll be met with respect and understanding.

I work with:

  • Straight, queer, LGBTQIA+ couples
  • Allistic and neurodivergent couples 
  • Interracial and multicultural partnerships
  • Polyamorous, open, and/or ethically non-monogamous relationships
  • Partners at any stage—newly dating, long-term, married, separated, or uncoupling with care

Common Areas I Support With:

In our work together, we’ll explore the unique challenges and strengths within your relationship. I provide support on a wide range of concerns that often bring people to relationship therapy—from emotional disconnection and conflict to intimacy struggles and negotiating relationship expectations.

Here are some examples of areas we might work on together:

  • Communication and listening skills
  • Learning how to fight “productively” and “compassionately”
  • Conflict repair and rupture recovery
  • Boundaries and codependency
  • Goal setting and discussions of the future
  • Cultivating understanding and empathy for diverse processing experiences
  • Anxious and avoidant dynamic patterns
  • Navigating differences in identity, values, and/or culture
  • Rebuilding after broken trust
  • Emotional disconnection and physical intimacy
  • Establishing clear relationship agreements
  • Navigating jealousy in non-monogamy
  • Premarital or pre-commitment support
  • Conscious separation and closure

My Approach to Relationship & Couples Counseling

My approach to couples counseling is integrative, drawing from evidenced-based methods that help create lasting, meaningful change. Depending on the clients, I may incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to identify and shift the emotional patterns that keep couples stuck, the Gottman Method to build effective communication and conflict-resolution skills, and Family Systems Theory to explore how early experiences and relational roles impact the present. Attachment theory is the foundation of much of this work—it helps us understand how each partner seeks safety, closeness, and connection, especially in moments of conflict.

In sessions, we combine insight with action: through structured dialogue, roleplay, and skill-building, you’ll learn how to show up for each other in ways that foster trust, empathy, and connection.
