Relationship Counseling

Having the same argument on repeat?

Has trust taken a hit — and you’re not sure how to rebuild it?

Are you feeling more like roommates than soulmates these days?

You’re not alone — and, change is possible. A love relationship is one of the most challenging endeavors we can undertake, and that’s precisely why it’s a choice. Love is a verb. Both partners must cultivate the ability to acknowledge their part in the relational dance and actively work toward connection.

To love someone means confronting both their reactive parts and your own. It means tolerating judgment, frustration, and discomfort from both sides. You may have tried to be vulnerable by expressing your needs, only to feel dismissed or shut down.

All humans have defenses—quick to deny wrongdoing and protect themselves from feeling embarrassed or in the wrong. We often lead with criticism, blame, or shame to shield against rejection.

But to truly feel loved, seen, and heard, we must cultivate our Wise Adult response. The part of us that chooses to step back from defensive statements or tactics. Together, you can acknowledge these patterns, take corrective action, and rebuild connection even when tensions rise or misunderstandings occur.

Relationship therapy offers a supportive space to break old cycles, rebuild trust, and rediscover the partnership you both deserve.

Ready for the next step?

Fights, disagreements, and silences often stem from misunderstandings, missed cues, and vulnerabilities being triggered.

Both of you will benefit from learning new skills—and bringing an open mind—so I can help you recognize where you can personally grow.

My job is to gently point out what you might not see in your own behaviors, tones, or words. It’s hard to see ourselves clearly, and that’s where I come in.

Together, we’ll work to prevent conflicts from escalating, rebuild trust, and repair the connection so your partnership can grow stronger and more loving.

I'm your relationship champion

I specialize in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a powerful approach developed by Terry Real that combines honest, direct feedback with deep compassion and practical relational skill-building.

RLT helps couples break free from stuck patterns, take healthy accountability, and build deeper emotional intimacy grounded in mutual respect and connection.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I incorporate parts work and neurobiological grounding tools to help couples better understand their internal responses, regulate their nervous systems, and create more safety and compassion in the relationship.

Alongside regular weekly or biweekly sessions, I also offer weekend Couple Intensives—focused, immersive support designed for couples facing crisis or high-conflict challenges. These intensives create a unique opportunity to dive deeply, gain clarity, and begin meaningful repair when your relationship needs urgent care.

Whether you’re working to rebuild trust, improve communication, or rediscover joy in your connection, I provide a safe, supportive, and direct space where real, lasting change happens—and where both partners are truly heard.
