Do you feel like you and your partner are on different wavelengths, even though you're both invested in making it work?
(Like you're reaching for connection but keep missing the mark.)
Sometimes it feels like you're having the same conversation over and over, yet somehow the message doesn’t land. What you're saying and what your partner hears seem worlds apart, leaving both of you feeling frustrated and misunderstood.
You want to feel loved in the way you truly need, but it feels like your love languages don’t always match up. The affection you crave might not always show up in the way you expect, leaving you feeling unseen or unappreciated—even though you know the love is there.
It’s not that you don’t care it’s that your needs and desires aren’t always aligned. And that misalignment can make you feel like you’re not fully connecting, even when you're together. It’s exhausting when you're both trying, but still feeling disconnected.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Couples therapy is for all relationships, regardless of the stage of the partnership. The media often fails to portray couples therapy as an accessible option with minimal "requirements." If you feel your partnership could benefit from a neutral party to help translate each partner’s feelings, desires, and needs, therapy can provide that support.

In couples therapy, I do find that homework can be a helpful tool. Since we only have a limited amount of time together typically only 50 minutes each week it's important to take what we explore in our sessions and bring it into your daily life. Homework might not look like traditional “assignments,” but rather practical exercises and reflections that can support the work we're doing in therapy.
Consistency is key to making long-lasting changes, and incorporating these practices at home helps strengthen the tools we’re building together. Couples therapy often requires self-reflection, accountability, and a willingness to grow because we each play a unique role in the dynamic. The more you can actively engage with the process outside of sessions, the more deeply you can transform your relationship.
-
While it’s not mandatory, I highly encourage individual therapy alongside couples therapy. The reason for this is that in couples therapy, we often explore many layers that may not have enough time or space to fully unpack within our 50-minute sessions, especially when there are two or more people present.
Having a dedicated individual therapist allows each of you to process personal feelings, triggers, or past experiences in a space that’s just for you. This support outside of our sessions can help you dive deeper into individual healing and bring more clarity to our work together.
Without individual therapy, I’ve noticed that the progress in couples therapy can sometimes feel slower, as there may not be enough time to fully explore everything that comes up. Individual therapy helps ensure that you’re getting the support you need to process and heal at your own pace, which in turn enhances our couples work.
-
Absolutely! I’m always happy to support couples in navigating polyamory, open relationships, or any relationship structure that feels authentic to you. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore and address the unique challenges and opportunities that come with non-monogamous dynamics. Whether it’s communication, boundaries, jealousy, or emotional connection, I’m here to help you both understand and support each other’s needs in your evolving relationship.
We’ll work together to ensure that both of you feel heard, respected, and aligned with the goals and values that matter most to you in your relationship.
-
In our first session, we’ll dive into a thorough in-person intake to get a clear understanding of your relationship and what brings you to therapy. This helps me tailor our work together in the most meaningful way. For the following session, I typically meet with each partner individually to explore two foundational activities that I believe are key to setting a strong base for our work together.
We’ll chat more about the specifics of this process during our consult, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect moving forward!
