Couples Therapy
Therapy to Help You Both Feel Heard Again
It’s not really about who didn’t do the dishes. It’s about the tension underneath — the patterns you’re stuck in, the things that go unsaid, the ways you each feel alone even when you’re together.
Couples therapy can help you break that cycle. This work isn’t about blaming one person or tallying wins — it’s about getting honest, getting real, and rebuilding something stronger together.
Couples Therapy — For When Things Feel Harder Than They Used To
You care about each other, but something’s off. The spark, the ease, the feeling that you're on the same side — it’s harder to find lately. Conversations get tense. Distance creeps in. And you're not sure how to shift it without making things worse.
Couples therapy can help you get out of that loop. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship, newly committed, or somewhere in between — this work is about rebuilding connection, clarity, and trust.
It’s not about who didn’t do the dishes.
So many couples come in with surface fights — over chores, texting habits, parenting styles — but underneath all of it is usually something deeper:
A longing to be understood. Resentments that never got voiced. Stories about not feeling like a priority, not being chosen, not being seen.
Relationship counseling gives you space to uncover those patterns — and break them.
Together, we’ll look at:
How you each show up in conflict (and why)
What hurts haven’t healed — even if you thought you moved on
The unspoken rules you’ve both been following that are no longer working
How to repair without defensiveness, blame, or scorekeeping
How to reconnect with clarity, respect, and openness
And yes, we’ll talk about resentments — the obvious ones, and the unconscious ones too. Therapy gives those things a place to land, so they don’t keep showing up in sideways ways.
My approach: Real, direct, relational.
I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT) — a model that gets under the surface, fast. We don’t just swap out communication tools. We get into the real dynamic between you: how each of you protects yourselves, how those defenses clash, and what it takes to create real change in the relationship.
I also integrate parts work (IFS) — helping you understand the inner systems that flare up when things feel unsafe. Maybe a part of you gets loud and critical. Or a part of you disappears altogether. Therapy can help you unblend from those reactions and show up more clearly with your partner.
This isn’t passive therapy — and it’s not conflict bootcamp either. I work best with thoughtful, emotionally invested couples who want honest feedback, and who are ready to take ownership of their side of the dynamic. If things have gotten explosive or emotionally unsafe, this may not be the right fit. But if you still care about each other — and you’re both ready to do something different — this work can be deeply transformative.
Let’s get to the heart of it.
If you’re tired of walking on eggshells, having the same argument again and again, or drifting further apart — couples therapy can help you change the story.
Not by forcing agreement, but by helping you listen differently, speak more clearly, and rebuild safety together.
If that’s what you’re looking for, reach out. Let’s talk and see if this work is the right fit for your relationship.
