Constant criticism, walking on eggshells and emotional exhaustion deplete both your relationship, self-esteem and well-being.
Imagine breaking this cycle to foster communication that encourages understanding and respect.
Conflict Resolution: Breaking the Cycle of Endless Fighting
Are you fighting all the time, with no ability to regulate emotions or resolve anything? Does chronic fighting leave you drained, unable to focus, and disconnected? Being trapped in a loop of blame, contempt, defensiveness, and constant criticism isn’t what life is supposed to be.

Boundaries in Relationships: Reclaiming What Has Been Given Away
In marriage, it often feels like your needs and desires are pushed aside while your spouse gets their way. You’re left feeling like a rag doll, unable to stand up for yourself or set healthy boundaries.
When you try, your efforts are ignored or dismissed, leaving you frustrated and powerless.
But what if you could regain control of your voice and space? Imagine confidently setting boundaries that are respected and honored, creating a healthier, more balanced relationship for both of you.
Navigating Unrealistic Expectations & Fantasy in Relationships
When our expectations for love and marriage don’t match reality, disappointment can set in. If your relationship doesn’t reflect the fairytale you envisioned or promises have been unfulfilled, you’re not alone. Many struggle with unmet expectations, feeling like the person you married isn’t who you thought.
But it’s not too late. Honest communication, and a willingness to explore alternative realities may bridge the gap between fantasy and reality. Together, you can create a relationship rooted in mutual understanding, respect, and love.
Financial Issues: Talking About Money Without the Stress
Financial stress creates significant tension in a marriage, especially when communication and understanding are lacking. Couples often feel like they are living separate lives regarding money—one partner spending freely while the other struggles to make ends meet.
This disconnect can foster resentment and feelings of being unsupported. Financial strain can also hinder the ability to achieve shared dreams, such as travel. Open discussions about money, savings, and future goals are essential to ensure couples move forward together and strengthen their bond.

Family dynamics play a crucial role in shaping relationships and interactions within a household. Understanding these dynamics is essential for fostering healthy connections among family members.
From parenting styles to navigating relationships with in-laws and blended families, addressing challenges head-on can lead to a more harmonious life.
Recognizing unhealthy patterns and promoting open communication will create a more supportive environment for both adults and children.
Parents can feel overwhelmed when you’re not aligned with your partner. It becomes more challenging when children are exposed to chronic anger and unhealthy patterns in your relationship. You may worry they are learning this behavior and thinking it’s normal.
Struggling alone, feeling undermined or disrespected, creates an environment where your emotional needs go unmet. The pressures of raising children, especially with technology like phones and tablets, further complicate the situation, leaving you unsure of how to move forward.
In-laws can be a source of immense stress, especially when there is a lack of respect or recognition. Triangulation and generational behaviors continue to cause friction in families.
When they create chaos or enforce their agendas, it can seem like you’re stuck in a toxic dynamic with no way to find peace.
However, addressing these issues through open communication and setting healthy boundaries can help foster mutual respect and strengthen relationships.
Blended families often face unique challenges that can heighten stress levels. Disrespect or a lack of recognition from stepchildren or spouse can lead to feelings of isolation. Triangulation in relationships, Lack of structure, organization and direction, can create havoc.
When your partner doesn’t support you in setting boundaries or enforcing rules, it deepens the divide and makes it harder to build a cohesive family unit. By prioritizing open dialogue and cooperation, you can create a supportive and harmonious family environment.
Sexual issues can shatter the foundations of a relationship, leaving partners feeling disconnected, frustrated, and unfulfilled. Conflicting sex drives create a breeding ground for rejection, while the weight of emotional disconnection can make intimacy feel like an impossible dream.
Desperation creeps in as you struggle to communicate your needs and desires, wondering if you will ever feel desired again.
But there is hope—by confronting these challenges head-on and fostering trust and honesty, you can reignite the passion that once brought you together and build a deeper, more satisfying connection.
Different Sex Drives
Navigating two different sex drives can create significant tension. One partner may desire intimacy while the other feels overwhelmed or disinterested. This discrepancy can lead to feelings of rejection and frustration.
Open communication is critical; discussing needs and desires can help partners find common ground, fostering understanding and intimacy. Acknowledging and respecting each other’s sexual needs can strengthen the relationship.
Communication in Sex
Effective communication about sexual needs is essential in any relationship, especially when facing a sexless marriage. Partners must feel comfortable discussing their desires, desires, and feelings without fear of judgment.
Open and honest conversations can help uncover underlying issues, allowing couples to identify obstacles to intimacy. By fostering an environment of trust and openness, partners can work together to rekindle the romance and connection that enhances their sexual relationship.
Emotional Intimacy & Foreplay
It’s disheartening when affection feels conditional, given only during sexual advances.
This pattern can lead to feelings of being used rather than valued, eroding emotional intimacy. Emotional connection serves as a vital form of foreplay, enhancing the physical experience and making intimacy more fulfilling.
Couples should communicate their needs for genuine affection outside of sexual contexts, nurturing emotional bonds through meaningful conversations and shared experiences. Prioritizing this connection fosters deeper intimacy, ensuring both partners feel appreciated and fulfilled in their relationship
Guilt and Passive-Aggression
Dealing with guilt or passive-aggressive tactics to initiate intimacy can be damaging.
Often people don’t even realize they are doing this. These behaviors undermine trust and create resentment within the relationship. It’s important to confront these dynamics openly and establish healthier communication patterns.
Partners should feel safe expressing their needs and boundaries, fostering a relationship built on mutual respect and understanding, leading to a more fulfilling and genuine sexual connection.
Pornography & Sexual Addiction
The prevalence of pornography can significantly affect relationships, as it may lead to sexual addiction for some individuals. This addiction can create unrealistic expectations and diminish emotional intimacy, leaving one partner feeling undervalued.
Prioritizing pornography over genuine connections can result in feelings of isolation and inadequacy.
Open communication about its impact is essential, and seeking professional help can provide valuable tools to navigate sexual addiction and rebuild connection in the relationship.
Reigniting Passion
Reigniting passion takes intentional effort and creativity.
Couples should prioritize dedicated time for each other with regular date nights and engaging activities. Trying new experiences or hobbies can spark excitement and intimacy, while incorporating physical touch outside the bedroom strengthens bonds.
Crucially, open communication about desires and fantasies revives attraction, allowing partners to rediscover their chemistry and enhance their sexual connection in an engaged and meaningful way.
Do you feel trapped in resentment, bitterness, and anger? Forgiveness may seem impossible, as it often reopens old wounds, and the fear of being hurt again makes it hard to move forward.
Forgiveness is not about excusing the behavior; it’s about protecting your heart from the devastation of holding on to past hurts.
It’s about releasing the anger that has taken hold of your body and mind, allowing room for healing and reconciliation. You can break the cycle of vengeance and reclaim your emotional well-being.
Trust can be one of the hardest things to rebuild once it’s broken, especially when infidelity is involved. Many experience deep pain when their partner cheats, flirts with others, breaks promises, or engages in betrayal.
Lingering bitterness and anger make it hard to heal, as the past hurts resurface.
If you’ve been lied to or taken advantage of, you may feel unworthy of a relationship built on trust. Rebuilding trust takes time and effort from both partners, but it’s possible with open communication and a willingness to learn and heal.
Loneliness in a marriage can stem from a lack of appreciation and emotional connection. If you feel like you’re always doing everything for others without recognition, it creates an overwhelming sense of isolation.
When your spouse prioritizes other things over you, it feels like you are constantly put last. This emotional distance can leave you exhausted and unfulfilled, making it hard to imagine improvement when time together is scarce and your spouse is distant or too busy to engage.
Navigating separation and divorce can evoke intense emotions, including fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt. Separation may offer a chance for reflection and the possibility of reconciliation, while divorce often brings feelings of betrayal and isolation.
Both experiences raise questions about identity, the future, and the impact on loved ones.
Understanding these challenges is essential, as the journey toward reclaiming self-worth can ultimately lead to strengthen connections, whether through reunification or personal growth.
Separation: Heartbreak and Uncertainty
Experiencing separation brings overwhelming feelings of fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt. Constant worry about your partner’s actions and the hope of reconciliation can intensify distress during this difficult transition
Although painful, sometimes breaking apart is the key to rebuilding a stronger bond.
Unfortunately, sometimes separation is the wake up call/or slap needed for your spouse to see your seriousness about change in the relationship. Separation can serve as a moment of clarity, creating an opportunity for growth and understanding.
Divorce: Healing and Moving Forward
Facing divorce introduces painful questions about your identity, future, and the impact on your children.
The decision to leave can be paralyzing, especially with concerns about judgment and consequences weighing heavily on your mind.
Despite wanting to avoid divorce, staying in a toxic relationship may feel increasingly harmful.
Ultimately, the goal is to reclaim your sense of self, heal from the pain, and embrace a new chapter characterized by independence, strength, and renewed trust
Couples counseling provides a safe, neutral space for both partners to openly express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear of judgment. A trained therapist helps you identify unhealthy communication patterns, uncover underlying issues, and work together to build stronger emotional and physical connections.
Counseling can teach you practical tools to manage conflict, improve communication, and deepen your understanding of each other’s needs and perspectives. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or wanting to strengthen your bond, couples counseling offers guidance and support tailored to your relationship goals.
Couples counseling offers a supportive space to explore communication issues, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy challenges, trust concerns, and major life transitions.
Together, we’ll also look at the deeper emotional patterns and attachment dynamics that shape how you relate. Whether you’re working to heal, reconnect, or grow together with more clarity and compassion, therapy helps create more intentional and resilient relationships.
Think of couples therapy like caring for a car—sometimes it’s just an oil change for routine maintenance, and other times the whole engine needs attention. Whether you’re tuning up the connection or working through more complex issues, therapy can support your relationship at any stage. A little care now can help prevent bigger breakdowns later.
Many couples also come to deepen their connection, strengthen emotional intimacy, or navigate transitions with more support. Whether you’re feeling stuck or simply want to relate more intentionally, therapy offers tools and insight to move forward together.
Couples counseling sessions provide a structured, supportive space to explore your relationship dynamics with the help of a trained therapist. You can expect a mix of guided conversation, reflection, and practical tools to help you communicate more effectively, understand each other’s needs, and work through challenges.
Early sessions often focus on getting to know you both, understanding your history, and identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. From there, we’ll work collaboratively to build insight, foster emotional connection, and support meaningful change in how you relate.
The pace of progress in couples counseling can vary depending on your goals, the challenges you’re facing, and how willing each partner is to engage in the process. Some couples start to feel small shifts after just a few sessions—like improved communication or a better understanding of each other—while deeper, more lasting change often takes time.
Every relationship is different. What matters most is your commitment to showing up with openness, honesty, and a willingness to grow together.
Yes, individual therapy can still bring meaningful change to your relationship, even if your partner isn’t ready to attend. By exploring your own patterns, emotions, and responses, you can begin to shift the dynamic between you. Often, when one person gains clarity and starts showing up differently, it naturally influences the relationship as a whole.
Therapy can also help you process your partner’s reluctance, set healthy boundaries, and make intentional choices about how you want to engage moving forward—with or without their participation.
Conflict is a natural part of couples therapy—and it can actually be a doorway to deeper understanding when handled with care. In session, I provide a structured and supportive space where both partners can express themselves and feel heard. When tensions rise, I help slow things down, bring awareness to emotional patterns, and guide the conversation in a way that promotes safety, clarity, and connection.
If needed, I also teach emotional regulation skills to help partners stay grounded during conflict, so that difficult moments can become opportunities for repair and growth.
My approach to couples counseling is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities that support emotional connection, communication, and lasting change. I primarily incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps couples identify and shift underlying attachment patterns, as well as the Gottman Method, which offers practical tools for improving communication, managing conflict, and strengthening friendship and intimacy.
I also draw from relational psychodynamic theory, systems thinking, and mindfulness-based practices to support insight, regulation, and more intentional ways of relating. For couples who desire it, I welcome the integration of spirituality as a meaningful resource for healing and connection.
Yes—confidentiality is a core part of the therapeutic relationship. What you share in couples counseling is kept private and protected, in accordance with legal and ethical guidelines. There are a few specific exceptions required by law, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases involving child, elder, or dependent adult abuse.
Outside of those situations, your sessions are a safe and confidential space to speak openly and work through challenges without fear of judgment or exposure.
Yes, I offer couples intensives for those who want to do deeper, focused work over a shorter period of time. Intensives typically range from 3 to 6 hours in a day and can extend up to 3 consecutive days if needed. This format is ideal for couples navigating a crisis, facing significant challenges, or simply wanting to make meaningful progress more quickly.
Rates vary based on the length and structure of the intensive. Please contact me directly for current pricing and to explore whether this option is the right fit for your relationship.
