Couples therapy is a space where partners can slow down, get honest, and begin to understand what’s really happening underneath the conflict, distance, or stuckness. I help couples uncover the deeper patterns driving their disconnection—often rooted in attachment wounds, unmet needs, or miscommunication—and guide them toward more secure, supportive ways of relating.  I offer an initial 4-session couples package because I’ve found that it creates a solid foundation for change. The first session focuses on your relationship story—what brings you in and what you both hope to get out of therapy. In sessions two and three, I meet with each partner individually to understand your personal histories and perspectives. Then in session four, we come back together with a clearer picture of what’s going on systemically, and we begin mapping out a path forward.  This structure gives us the groundwork we need to dive into meaningful work and helps both partners feel heard, understood, and invested in the process from the very beginning. Couples therapy isn’t about fixing each other—it’s about learning how to move through challenges as a team, with empathy, clarity, and connection.

When I work with clients navigating trauma or PTSD, my first priority is creating a sense of emotional safety. Trauma often lives in the body and nervous system, not just in memory—so we move slowly, with care, and always at your pace. I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens to help you feel more grounded in the present while gently exploring what’s been overwhelming or unresolved in the past. One of the primary tools I use is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a research-backed method that helps your brain reprocess traumatic experiences so they no longer feel as raw, triggering, or intrusive. EMDR doesn’t require you to retell every detail—instead, it allows your brain and body to do the healing work in a structured, contained way. I may also integrate parts work (like Internal Family Systems), somatic awareness, and relational processing depending on your needs. My goal is never to push you into the trauma, but to walk with you through it—helping you make sense of what happened, reconnect with your inner strength, and reclaim a sense of safety and wholeness.
