Relationships are complex
You're not just choosing each other - you're choosing each other's histories.
Culture & Gender Roles
Explore how cultural expectations, family values and gender roles shape how you relate, communicate and understand one another.
Sexuality & Intimacy
Create space to explore desire, pleasure, sexual differences and the emotional dynamics shaping intimacy.
Relationship Traumas & Infidelity
Understand the impact of relational wounds, breaches of trust and infidelity while exploring possibilities for repair and reconnection.
Life Transitions
Navigate parenthood, career changes, loss and other transitions while making space for how your relationship is changing too.
A psychodynamic, trauma-sensitive approach
Relationships carry histories.
Healing can create
something new.
My work with couples is grounded in psychodynamic theory and emotionally-focused couples therapy and sex therapy, while also drawing on attachment, trauma-sensitive, and culturally aware perspectives.
Together, we explore the unconscious patterns, early
relational experiences, and cultural and gendered messages that shape how you relate to each other, including around sexuality, desire, and intimacy. This deeper understanding
can create new possibilities for connection, repair and lasting change.
Couples therapy can help if you're experiencing:
-
Recurring conflict, repeating the same arguments or feeling stuck
-
Emotional distance or disconnection
-
Push / Withdraw, or Pursue - Withdraw dynamics
-
Differences in sexual desire or intimacy
-
Relationship changes after pregnancy, postpartum and parenting
-
Infidelity or rebuilding trust
-
Challenges with communication
-
Changes after becoming parents
-
Navigating cultural, family or religious differences
-
Life transitions or career pressures
-
Patterns from past relationships showing up
-
A desire to feel closer, more understood and more aligned
