Couples Therapy

Let’s get your love back in the game.

"We’re disconnected too often, and I hate it."

"No matter what I try, my partner is always upset with me."

"Seems like our discussions end as soon as I show any emotions."

I help couples shift from the blame game to exploration so that they listen with more compassion and learn to speak with more self-responsibility and tenderness.

In Emotionally-Focused Couple therapy with me, you learn how to:

  • Understand how your partner’s reactions relate to yours

  • Shift the focus to your internal experience

  • Turn and tell your partner what’s really going on

I help couples get back on the same team.

Secure couples aren’t perfect, but as a team, they can get out of the bad weather and back into their climate of safety.

In therapy with me, we’re shooting for progress, not perfection.

We’re aiming to create a space where you can bring your needs, hurts, and fears to each other and get seen and soothed in response.

If we don’t create a shared way of coping at home where we turn toward each other, rather than on each other, our relationship will not make it.


Frequency & Duration: 50-minute, 75-minute, and 90-minute sessions, meeting weekly or biweekly.

Fees: $150, $200, and $225, respectively. I offer a sliding scale in instances where you are deeply willing to invest in your growth, and this fee would pose a financial hardship. Write to me, and let's talk. I do not accept insurance.

When we get distressed we talk at our loved ones, rather than with them.

Since emotion is the messenger of love, my job is to help you send clear emotional signals.
