(Online Only)
Are you tired of having the same argument over and over again, with no resolution? Maybe conversations quickly turn into conflict quickly, one of you shuts down, or you both walk away feeling unheard, misunderstood, and disconnected. And the same fights seem to surface over and over again, like clock work. You may love each other deeply, but feel stuck in patterns that leave you both feeling lonely, frustrated, or emotionally distant. I specialize in helping couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a deeper emotional bond. Together, we’ll identify the negative patterns and behaviors keeping you stuck in cycles of conflict. In sessions I teach practical tools for managing strong emotional responses, and create a safe space where both partners can express themselves openly, honestly, and safely.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: I help couples learn how to fight fair and repair after conflicts. Together we come up with a process that works specifically for you that helps to come turn towards each other after conflict so that you can address and resolve the issue effectively. This type of repair helps you resolve the root of the conflicts so that they stop coming up over and over again.
