my relationship to self and family in so many ways.

COUPLES SESSIONS

I offer relational, trauma-informed, and emotionally-focused support for couples and families seeking to repair their bonds and rebuild trust. In our sessions, we will look beneath surface-level conflicts to understand each person’s attachment needs and the protective patterns that surface when connection feels threatened. By establishing compassionate boundaries, balancing power dynamics, and resolving misunderstandings, I can guide you toward the vulnerable, authentic communication needed to restore deep connection.​

No matter the specific challenges you are currently navigating, whether you are facing communication breakdowns, power imbalances, blocks to intimacy, boundary violations, or the heavy stresses of financial strain, life transitions, or addiction challenges, there is a pathway through the distress. If you are each sincerely committed to growing together and working toward mutual understanding, I can help you move through the disconnection to transform reactive cycles, heal old wounds, and discover a resilient new way forward together.

Sessions are typically 2 hours long and may take place virtually or in-person. I operate a sliding scale and am sometimes able to provide pro bono sessions to those with severely limited resources. I offer an initial 15-20 minute consultation to answer any questions you might have, and to see if we feel like a good fit. Please reach out if you would like to connect, and we can set something up.
