Relationship Psychotherapy

Many couples come to therapy because something has reached a breaking point.

Others arrive because the relationship no longer feels alive, generous, or safe — even though, from the outside, everything appears functional.
 

I work with couples who want more than surface-level solutions.

They are not looking for scripts, techniques, or someone to referee their arguments.

They want to understand what is actually happening between them — and whether it can change.

My work is depth-oriented, relational, and emotionally engaged. We focus on the relationship itself: how it operates, how conflict is organized, and what each partner brings — consciously and unconsciously — into the dynamic. Our work is done carefully and collaboratively.

​

Most couples already know what they fight about. What’s harder to see is why the same moments keep replaying, even when both people are thoughtful, capable, and trying.

​

In sessions, we slow things down and pay close attention to what happens in real time: how tension emerges, where each partner moves emotionally, and what gets defended, avoided & demanded. 
 

Rather than assigning blame, we treat the relationship as a shared emotional system — shaped by history, attachment, desire, fear. Patterns are not pathologized; they are understood. This kind of therapy can be uncomfortable at times. It is also often clarifying, enlivening, and deeply relieving.

Individual Psychotherapy

I also work individually with teens and adults who want psychotherapy that goes beyond symptom management. 

Individual work may be helpful if you are:

• Repeating relational patterns you don’t fully understand

• Navigating identity shifts, loss, or major transitions

• Highly functional externally while feeling unsettled internally

• Interested in understanding your emotional life with more depth and nuance
