Who This Is For
Couples who:
- Feel emotionally distant, misunderstood, or in conflict
- Struggle with communication, trust, or emotional intimacy
- Are navigating life transitions such as parenting, loss, or betrayal
- Want to deepen connection, improve emotional attunement, and co-create a more conscious relationship
How I Can Help
Through a trauma-informed and emotionally-focused approach, I support couples in:
Rebuilding emotional safety and trust
Creating a foundation where vulnerability, honesty, and security can return.
Understanding patterns and emotional cycles
Identifying the "dance" each partner gets stuck in—so you can shift together rather than blame.
Improving communication and conflict repair
Learning to listen with empathy, speak without defensiveness, and reconnect after rupture.
Reigniting intimacy and closeness
Exploring emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of the relationship that may have been lost or silenced.
Navigating betrayal, disappointment, or past wounds
Supporting repair and healing where harm has been caused—if both are willing.
Integrative tools
Sessions may include techniques from the Gottman Method, IFS, attachment-based therapy, and mindfulness.
