Couples Therapy

Creating a safe and supportive space for your relationship to

address concerns with curiousity, compassion, and hope.

Relationships are complex. They often activate our deepest

vulnerabilities. We all long to be loved and to love,

and enter relationships despite the inherent risks;

and in spite of any formal training for how to navigate the issues that inevitably arise.

You are not alone. Challenges in your relationship do not mean it's an inadequate relationship, nor that it necessarily needs to end. Couples Therapy offers support and accountability through individualized feedback and experiential learning. 

Couples seek therapy for a wide range of reasons. More often than not, couples arrive with deep concern for where their relationship is at. Sadness, confusion, anger, or despair are common. We will address how you are both feeling and collaboratively make a plan and set goals for how to get your relationship back on track.

"Behind every great relationship are difficult and uncomfortable conversations we rarely get to see.
Great relationships don't just fall into our laps.
They require people to move through their fears and insecurities and do the hard work to move wounds into healing" 

Vienna Pharaon, LMFT

What I expect of you...

I expect a serious commitment from you in our work together.
An openness to learning and receiving feedback about your role in the relationship is required.
Couples who show up in this way and commit to the process together, increase the likelihood
that their relationship will end up stronger than before.

What you can expect...

While the first few sessions are focused on assessment to understand your relationship and it's strengths and challenges, feedback is also provided. Many couples have reported the process of simply showing up together and being seen and heard by a third party to be invaluable. 

The needs of your relationship will be unique to you and I will be direct and transparent, while also kind, curious, and compassionate to what has brought you to where you are.

Let's Work Together

I look forward to hearing from you!
