Couples Therapy

Couples often seek therapy when they find themselves caught in repetitive patterns—having the same arguments, feeling emotionally distant, or struggling to feel like partners rather than roommates or co-parents. Over time, stress, unmet needs, and unspoken resentments can erode connection, intimacy, and trust. For some couples, the discovery of an affair or the impact of substance misuse fundamentally disrupts the sense of safety in the relationship, leaving both partners unsure how to move forward.

I work with couples across many stages of relationship—from dating and contemplating commitment, to long-term partnerships navigating intimacy, parenting, or major life transitions. Our work focuses on understanding the relational dynamics beneath the surface: how each partner responds to stress, conflict, vulnerability, and closeness, and how these patterns developed over time.

Couples therapy offers a structured, confidential setting to slow things down, speak honestly, and better understand one another. Together, we work to interrupt cycles that keep you stuck, strengthen communication, repair trust where it has been broken, and create a relationship that feels more connected, intentional, and alive.

I have particular expertise in working with couples impacted by infidelity, betrayal, and substance misuse, helping partners navigate the complex emotional terrain of rupture, accountability, and repair. Some couples come in hoping to rebuild and reconnect; others are seeking clarity about the future of the relationship. Both paths deserve care, thoughtfulness, and support.

This work is especially important for couples who are parents—or who hope to become parents. Research consistently shows that unresolved conflict, emotional disengagement, substance misuse, and unhealthy relational dynamics do not stay contained within the couple; they shape the emotional environment in which children grow and develop. Strengthening the couple relationship often becomes a critical foundation for healthier family dynamics, which naturally extends into the work I do with families and adolescent or adult children.

Individual Therapy

Many adults seek therapy during moments when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of alignment. This may present as anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or a sense of feeling stuck—despite effort, intelligence, and external success. Whether you are navigating early adulthood, building a career, managing family life, or carrying significant personal and professional responsibility, these challenges can feel isolating and difficult to untangle alone.

I work with adults across a wide range of life stages who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Our work takes place in a confidential, thoughtful setting where you can speak openly and reflect honestly—including aspects of your life that may feel confusing or hard to talk about.

While we will focus on helping you feel more grounded and effective in the present, we will also explore how past experiences, family dynamics, and internal expectations continue to influence you today. Developing insight into these patterns allows for greater flexibility, more intentional decision-making, and meaningful, lasting change.

I invite you to approach this process with curiosity. Over time, many people find increased clarity, emotional resilience, and the ability to build a life and relationships that feel meaningful, rewarding, and connected. My practice is private and out-of-network, which allows the work to proceed with depth, discretion, and a pace tailored to your needs.

Families

In my work with couples over the past decade, a consistent theme has emerged—one strongly supported by clinical and behavioral research: children do not develop in isolation. They are deeply shaped by the emotional climate of their family and by the relationship patterns modeled by the adults around them.

When tension, disconnection, unresolved conflict, or instability exists within the parental relationship, children often express this distress in their own way. This may appear as anxiety, depression, substance use, emotional withdrawal, or acting-out behaviors. While these symptoms are often viewed as individual problems, they are frequently signals of broader relational and emotional dynamics within the family system.

I work with children (12+) and their parents to better understand how family relationships, communication patterns, and unspoken emotional stressors may be impacting a child’s well-being. The goal is not to assign blame, but to create insight—helping parents and children recognize patterns, strengthen emotional connection, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.

This work often builds directly on the couples therapy process. As parents gain greater awareness of their own relational dynamics, children benefit from increased emotional stability, consistency, and attunement. When parents are more aligned and emotionally available, children are better able to regulate their emotions, express themselves, and feel secure within the family.

My family work is offered on a private, out-of-network basis, allowing the flexibility, discretion, and depth necessary to address complex family dynamics thoughtfully and collaboratively.
