Couples therapy
Exciting, messy, and full of surprises — relationships, that is.
What brings couples in
Whether you're managing conflict, recovering from betrayal, negotiating differences in lifestyle or values, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, therapy can help you move from reactive patterns to more intentional connection.
My approach is relational, collaborative, and humorous — you'll leave feeling heard, seen, and more equipped to navigate your partnership with empathy and clarity!
What our sessions focus on
- Communication strategies that actually work without feeling overly scripted
- Repairing ruptures and rebuilding trust
- Balancing individuality with togetherness
- Recognizing patterns that keep you stuck and creating new, sustainable ways of relating
A soft spot for mental health & chronic illness
I especially love working with couples navigating the impact of mental health or chronic illness in their relationship. When one or both partners are already doing their own work, a shared space can make all the difference. Together, we can make sense of how this shows up between you and find ways to stay connected through it.
The same goes for partners supporting someone with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or a lot of emotional intensity — relationships can be messy, complicated, and full of love, all at once.
Good questions
Things people often wonder
- Do we have to be in crisis to start couples therapy?
Not at all! Plenty of couples come in during a rough patch, and plenty come in because things are good and they'd like to keep it that way. Both are a great reason to start — and honestly, it's a lot easier to build new habits before things boil over.
- Is the goal to figure out who's “wrong”?
Nope. Couples therapy isn't about “fixing” one person — it's about creating a space where both partners can grow, understand each other more deeply, and find ways to thrive together. You'll both leave feeling heard, seen, and a little more equipped.
- One of us lives with a mental health condition or chronic illness. Is that something you work with?
Yes — I have a real soft spot for it. When one or both partners are already doing their own individual work, it can be really helpful to have a shared space where those experiences are understood, without judgment, stigma, or things getting oversimplified.
- Does insurance cover couples therapy?
I don't bill insurance directly, but I can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage depends on your plan, so I can't guarantee it — it's worth a quick call to your insurer to ask.
