Relationships at their core, are a vessel for life-changing growth and extraordinary connection. When our relationships are in disarray, we struggle to show up as the best version of ourselves, and can often feel we are providing unrequited effort. It may even feel as though we are over-promising with partners who under-deliver. It is this pulling and tugging at our relationships that cause ruptures, which may feel beyond repair. My goal is to help couples heal beyond the rupture.
I am passionate about helping couples feel whole again. Relational harm can lead to feelings of isolation and distance, but couples in repair don't have to abide by the notion that "the damage is done". Damage itself does not mean done, but "done" comes from not doing. I am committed and ready to walk this journey with you and begin to do the work. I believe humans have a deep desire to not only be seen, but also heard. It is in this seeing and hearing that we begin to deepen our connections with one another and enter into more fulfilling relationships. It is my hope that throughout our work together, with opened eyes and ears, you will begin to reconnect and transform what was once broken. The spark from the infancy of your relationship may feel dimmed, but together, we will find the light again. In couples therapy, my primary goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for partners to explore and navigate the challenges within their relationship. I work collaboratively with both individuals to facilitate open and honest communication, deepen their understanding of each other's perspectives, and develop effective problem-solving strategies. By addressing underlying issues and patterns of interaction, I aim to help couples improve their connection, rebuild trust, and strengthen their bond. Through empathetic listening and evidence-based interventions, my role is to guide couples on a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and ultimately, healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity for couples to re-imagine their relationship through a new lens. Within our therapeutic journey, you will develop tools and techniques that will carry you into the next stage of your relationship. Through strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered lenses, I will support your journey toward healing in a holistic and evidence-based approach. Thank you for taking your first step with me.
