Relationship Therapy

We’re Wired for Connection—But That Doesn’t Mean It’s Easy.

Whether you’re coming to therapy alone or with a partner, relationships are central to our well-being—and also where we often experience the most pain, confusion, and disconnection. Maybe you're tired of repeating the same patterns. Maybe your partnership is stuck in conflict or distance. Maybe you’re longing for deeper intimacy but unsure how to ask for it.

In therapy, we can slow down, listen to what your relationships are showing you, and build more intentional, connected ways of relating.

Therapy for Individuals & Couples

I work with individuals who want to understand their relationship patterns, heal attachment wounds, and explore what’s getting in the way of fulfilling partnerships. I also work with couples who are navigating communication breakdowns, mismatched needs, or relational ruptures they can’t quite repair on their own.

Whether you’re partnered, single, questioning, or somewhere in between—this work is about connection, clarity, and choice.

Cultural Shifts Impacting Relationships

In today’s world, many couples and individuals are navigating new challenges that previous generations didn’t face in the same way:

  • Technology & Distraction: Screens and devices interrupt presence and connection

  • Attachment to Work/Productivity: Career often takes priority over relational needs

  • Dating App Culture: Can create both expanded choice and emotional burnout

  • Loss of Community: Fewer support systems for couples, parents, and singles

  • Evolving Relationship Models: Growing openness to nontraditional partnerships, which require thoughtful boundaries and communication

These modern dynamics make relational clarity, self-awareness, and skillful communication more important than ever.

How I Can Help

In our work together, you’ll build the capacity to relate from a more authentic, grounded place. We’ll explore both what’s happening in the moment and what’s happening underneath.

My approach includes:

  • Psychodynamic Exploration to uncover the unconscious patterns, attachment styles, and early relational dynamics that shape how you connect

  • Somatic Therapy to notice what happens in your body during conflict or intimacy, and build capacity for emotional presence

  • Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to practice honesty and empathy in the way you express needs, set boundaries, and truly listen

  • Emotionally Focused Techniques to help couples move from blame and reactivity to vulnerability and connection

  • Relational and Systems Lens that includes culture, identity, gender roles, and family histories in the work
