Couples Psychotherapy

Service Description

Relationships can hold love, connection, frustration, history, desire, hurt, culture, identity, and change—all at the same time. Couples counseling offers a space to slow down, look beneath recurring conflicts, and better understand the patterns shaping how you relate to one another. My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and sex-positive. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, we explore what is happening between you—the unmet needs, protective responses, communication patterns, relational wounds, expectations, and experiences that may be making connection difficult. Together, we may work on strengthening communication, rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy, navigating differences in sexual desire, repairing trust, setting healthier boundaries, deepening friendship, managing life transitions, or creating a relationship that feels more intentional and aligned with who you are becoming. I also recognize that relationships do not exist in a vacuum. Culture, race, gender, sexuality, family histories, spirituality, trauma, social expectations, and systems of power can all influence how partners experience themselves and one another. These realities are welcomed into the therapeutic space rather than treated as peripheral to the relationship. The goal is not to create a “perfect” relationship. It is to help you develop greater awareness, honesty, safety, connection, and choice in how you move forward—together or individually.
