Relationships are among the most complex, challenging, fulfilling, and dynamic parts of life. In fact, I believe it is our relationships that offer us the greatest opportunities for growth and which make life so meaningful. We are wired for connection and belonging.

That being said, relationships can be hard. They require our ongoing care and attention.

You or your partner may be feeling hurt, frustrated, betrayed, or confused by something happening within your relationship. You may even notice arguments arise more often or you’ve become disconnected from one another. These are common issues partners face.

As a couple’s therapist, I work with those of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultures as they explore individual and shared challenges.

 In couple’s therapy, we will explore how each person experiences the relationship and issues at hand, as well as what’s working between you and what brought you together. We’ll take a closer look at what is conscious and unconscious for both partners so that you may deepen your understanding of one another and connect from a place of compassion, honesty, and trust.

 If you and your partner are seeking couple’s counseling, you’ve already taken a significant step towards greater understanding and resolution.
