Less reactivity. More connection. Real repair.
When the relationship feels tense, everything feels harder.
Are you stuck in the same conflict—no matter how many talks you’ve had?
You argue about “small things,” but it escalates fast.
One of you wants to talk, the other shuts down—and both feel alone.
You repeat the same fight with different details.
You’re walking on eggshells, or keeping the peace to avoid another blowup.
You miss feeling like a team.
You may also be dealing with…
The Pursue–Withdraw Cycle
One partner pushes for connection or answers. The other feels overwhelmed and pulls away. The more one pursues, the more the other shuts down—until you both feel misunderstood and disconnected.
Resentment + Emotional Distance
You’re functioning—parenting, working, managing life—but the emotional closeness is gone. Little moments feel sharp. It’s harder to assume the best.
Communication That Goes Nowhere
You try to talk, but it turns into defensiveness, criticism, shutdown, or silence. You leave conversations feeling worse than when you started.
Intimacy Changes
Physical or emotional intimacy feels strained, pressured, or confusing. One or both of you feel rejected—or unsure how to reconnect without it feeling awkward or unsafe.
Life Transitions + Stress
Kids, careers, family boundaries, finances, grief, relocation, health concerns—stress changes how you relate. What used to feel easy now feels loaded.
The Conflict Isn't Always the Problem. The Cycle Matters.
When the same conflict keeps happening, it's easy to start seeing each other as the problem.
One person gets louder, the other gets quieter. One pushes for answers, the other needs space.
One feels ignored, the other feels criticized.
And before long, you're no longer talking about the original issue and you're caught in the way you've learned to respond to each other.
Underneath those reactions may be something softer: hurt, fear, loneliness, disappointment, or a longing to feel understood and connected again.
Couples therapy can help us slow that cycle down enough to understand what's happening underneath it—and practice different ways of responding to each other.
The goal isn't to decide who's right. It's to help you understand what's happening between you.
Couples therapy can help you…
interrupt conflict cycles before they escalate
communicate needs without criticism, defensiveness, or shutdown
rebuild emotional safety and trust
strengthen repair skills after conflict
navigate resentment and re-establish teamwork
improve emotional and physical intimacy
create healthier boundaries with family, work, and stress
Maybe it’s time to feel like you’re on the same side again.
What Couples Therapy With Me Can Look Like
Couples therapy with me is warm, grounded, collaborative, and practical.
We'll pay attention not only to what you're arguing about, but to what happens between you when difficult moments arise.
That may mean slowing down an interaction, identifying what each person is experiencing underneath the reaction, practicing how to communicate a need differently, or learning how to repair after disconnection.
I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)-informed work, Narrative Therapy, and practical relationship-focused strategies depending on your needs and goals.
These approaches are tools, not formulas. Our work will be shaped by the relationship sitting in front of me.
What We Can Work On
recurring conflict, arguing, or emotional shutdown
trust repair and rebuilding connection after rupture
resentment, criticism, and defensiveness
emotional distance or feeling like roommates
