Couples Therapy
When your relationship feels stuck, disconnected, or tense, it can affect everything else in life. You might be caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or silence — wanting to reconnect but unsure how. When you’re “in it,” it’s hard to see the way out. That’s where Couples Therapy can help.
In our work together, I help you and your partner slow things down, understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and learn how to communicate in ways that bring understanding instead of defensiveness. The goal isn’t just to stop fighting - it’s to help you both feel heard, valued, and emotionally safe again.
This process takes courage, but it can lead to real closeness, empathy, and teamwork. You’ll develop practical tools and deeper awareness to navigate conflict, repair after hurt, and build a foundation of trust and connection that lasts.
I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) to help couples understand and respond to the deeper emotional needs that drive their patterns. I also draw from the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, an evidence-based approach that focuses on communication, repair, and strengthening friendship and intimacy.
Through this work, you can rebuild a sense of partnership, rediscover intimacy, and feel more confident that you’re both working toward the same future.
The current rate for Couples Therapy is $180 per 50-minute session after the 75-minute intake session ($270). I also offer extended sessions - 75 minutes at $270 and 100 minutes at $360 - for couples who prefer longer or less frequent appointments.

Couples Therapy Structure
The beginning of Couples Therapy follows a thoughtful and structured process designed to help both of you feel understood and supported from the start.
We’ll begin with a 75-minute intake session, where I’ll get to know each of you and your relationship - what brought you together, what challenges you’re facing, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy.
After this initial session, I’ll meet with each of you individually for one session. These conversations help me understand your unique perspectives, personal histories, and experiences that may be shaping your current relationship dynamics.
Following the individual sessions, we come together for our next joint session to review what we’ve learned and collaboratively create a plan for therapy - identifying key areas to focus on and the changes you’d both like to see.
Ongoing therapy continues at a frequency that makes sense for your relationship and schedule. Most couples begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. If less frequent sessions (such as tri-weekly or monthly) are needed, I strongly recommend longer sessions to maintain momentum.
