COUPLES & CULES

Relationships, am I right!?  How do people even do this and do it well? It’s like the blind leading the blind, but there is more out there! I believe being in a relationship with others is so much more than just love. Love is great! And we also bring patterns, protective parts, old stories, and nervous systems that react when we feel threatened, sometimes in ways that leave us feeling disconnected from the people we care about most. When communication breaks down, conflict loops, and emotional distance grows, it can feel difficult to find your way back to yourself and to one another. 

In couples counseling, we will explore who we are in a relationship through evidence-based assessments, pattern discovery, and supportive practice. Drawing from Gottman-Informed approaches, I help couples and those in relationships move beyond cycles of blame and frustration toward teamwork and intimacy.
