No one teaches you how to be in a relationship. We each arrive with our own history, our own assumptions about what love and relationships are supposed to look like, what a partner is supposed to do, what we bring, and what we expect in return. Most of these assumptions are never spoken — often never even examined. We live by them and assume the other person shares them, until we discover that they might not.

That's where a lot of couples get stuck. Not because they don't love each other, but because they're living two different stories about the same relationship and can't understand why the other person isn't reading from the same page.

I work with couples navigating conflict, disconnection, loss of trust, or the slow drift that happens when life gets busy, and something quietly goes missing. Some come in crisis. Others reach out because something feels off and they'd rather address it now than wait until things get worse. Some are simply drawn to therapy because they want to build an intentional relationship — learning about themselves and how they show up as a partner. You don't have to be on the edge of ending things to come — and you don't have to already know what you want.

The work isn't about deciding who's right. It's about understanding the stories each of you is living inside — and shaping a new one together: one that fits who you are now, and the relationship you want to build going forward.

My work with couples draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, the Gottman Method, and Narrative Therapy.
