You talk, apologize, take space, move on, and try again — but nothing really changes.
You want to feel close again, but keep getting pulled into conflict, distance, or shutdown.

Couples Therapy Should Change What Happens Between You
I combine the structure of the Gottman Method with a deep understanding of trauma, attachment, emotional regulation, and the personal, family, and cultural histories that shape how you respond to each other.
I won’t sit quietly while you repeat the same fight you have at home. I step in, slow things down, and help you see what is really happening between you.
We do not just talk about what keeps going wrong between you. We practise new ways of responding right there in the room, so change does not stay theoretical.
Some couples benefit from steady weekly work. Others need a more immersive or higher-support format, especially when conflict is frequent, trust has been seriously damaged, or stability is difficult to regain between appointments. The assessment process helps confirm the right level of support.
Steady, ongoing therapy for couples

For couples facing long-standing conflict, disconnection, or broken trust who need more time than weekly sessions allow.

Higher-touch couples therapy
12-WEEK MINIMUM | WEEKLY OR MARATHON-BASED CUSTOM QUOTE
This service combines a planned schedule of weekly or marathon-based couples therapy with reserved appointment capacity, individualized treatment planning, and limited clinical support between sessions. The structure and fee are tailored to the frequency and format of treatment included.
Best For:
Not sure which format fits?
The assessment process helps confirm the right format and level of support for your needs.
Knowing what to say is not the same as being able to say it when it matters.
We’ll work on:
Slowing down conflict before it takes over
Repairing more quickly after difficult moments
Having hard conversations with more honesty and less defensiveness
Feeling understood, supported, and on the same team again
Rebuilding trust, emotional safety, and connection
Creating a clearer path forward for the relationship
It makes sense to want to know whether the fit feels right. Couples therapy, however, is not typically a one-session consultation. It works best when there is enough consistency to complete the assessment and begin the work.
Because my schedule may be booked several weeks ahead, I recommend reserving 4 subsequent appointments in advance to avoid gaps in the work.
Relationship patterns that have developed over years are unlikely to change in just a few sessions. While every couple is different, meaningful change often involves 12–24 weekly sessions or 3–4 marathon treatment days.
Couples with more focused concerns may notice progress sooner. Longer histories of conflict, betrayal, repeated injuries, or disconnection often require more time, consistency, and opportunities for repair.
This is common. Couples therapy can still be helpful when one partner feels more ready, as long as both are willing to participate.
It may not be the right fit when one or both partners have already decided to separate or are unable to engage in the process. In these situations, individual or discernment therapy may be more appropriate. I do not provide discernment therapy.
Yes. This work requires care, structure, honesty, and accountability. The goal is not to rush forgiveness or pressure either partner to move on, but to understand what happened, support meaningful conversations, and determine what the relationship needs to move forward.
Couples therapy may not be appropriate when there is ongoing violence, coercive control, or concern that participating could place either partner at risk; when one partner has already definitively decided to end the relationship and is participating only to appease the other; when information affecting the relationship is being actively concealed; or when the goal is primarily to have the therapist determine who is right or convince one partner to change.
Ambivalence, significant conflict, betrayal, and difficult relationship patterns do not automatically mean couples therapy is not appropriate. Part of the assessment process is determining whether we can work together safely and productively.
