When you keep having the same fight.
Most couples who seek therapy are not out of love. They are caught in a cycle that neither of them chose, where small things spark big reactions and connection feels out of reach. A relationship therapist helps you slow it down, understand what is really going on underneath, and feel like a team again.

You are not imagining it
Some of this might feel familiar.
None of these mean something is wrong with you. They are common, they make sense, and they are exactly the kind of thing therapy helps with.
The same argument on repeat
Different topics, same painful loop, and it rarely ends with either of you feeling heard.
Distance where closeness used to be
You coexist more than you connect, and the warmth feels harder to reach.
Walking on eggshells
You brace before hard conversations, or avoid them entirely to keep the peace.
Trust that needs repair
Something happened, and you want to move forward but are not sure how.

Break the cycle

- 2
Feel heard again
You learn to slow down and say what is really underneath the frustration, and to hear it in return.
- 3
Rebuild safety and closeness
Emotionally focused work restores the sense that you can turn toward each other and be met.
Relationships can grow through hard seasons. With the right therapist, many couples come out closer than before.

I help partners break the negative cycle and feel like a team again. Using emotionally focused therapy, we slow things down, name what is really going on underneath the arguments, and rebuild the safety that lets you turn toward each other.

I work with couples and individuals who want relationships that feel honest and safe. My practice is queer-affirming and open to every kind of partnership. We name the patterns getting in the way and practice new ways of showing up for each other.
Common questions
It is okay to have doubts.
What if my partner will not come?
You can start on your own. Individual work on the relationship still helps, and partners often join once they see it is a safe, fair space.
Is it too late for us?
If you both have some willingness, there is real work to be done. Many couples arrive feeling hopeless and rebuild something stronger.
Will the therapist take sides?
No. A good couples therapist is on the side of the relationship, not one partner. The goal is understanding, not blame.
You do not have to figure this out alone.
