Couples Therapy
Find a new road forward together.
Rebuild. Reconnect. Grow.
Building a life together is never simple, and some seasons are harder than others. Whether you’re blending two families, carrying wounds from the past, or just feeling more like co-managers than partners, couples therapy can help you find your way back to each other.
Who We Work With
-
Blended Families & Second Marriages
Stepfamilies and blended households bring their own distinct pressures: competing loyalties, co-parenting dynamics, grief over the “before,” and the challenge of building a shared identity out of two fully-formed lives. These pressures don’t mean your relationship is in trouble. They mean you’re navigating something genuinely complex, often without a roadmap.

Couples Navigating Past Trauma
When one or both partners carry a history of emotional or relational wounding, that history doesn’t stay in the past. A certain tone, a look, or an offhand comment can trigger hurt, anger, or shutdown, and neither of you may fully understand why. Over time, these moments build distance. You still love each other, but you’ve stopped feeling like a team.

Couples Therapy for Therapists
Mental health professionals often make reluctant clients. When your relationship is
struggling, you face a particular bind: you know enough to see the patterns clearly, but that knowledge doesn’t always make the dynamic easier to negotiate. Your partner may feel analyzed rather than heard. You may find it harder than expected to be in the vulnerable position that good couples work actually requires.
We work with therapists and their partners regularly. Your clinical background is respected here, and it won’t get in the way of doing real work.
What you’re experiencing is a pattern, and patterns can change.
Our Approach
Our work is rooted in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), a research- backed model that helps couples identify and shift the emotional patterns running beneath conflict, so old cycles stop running the show.
We approach every couple with empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for the complexity you’re each bringing to the room. Therapy here isn’t about assigning blame or teaching scripts. It’s about slowing things down, understanding what’s really happening beneath the surface, and helping you both grow, individually and as partners.
Research on EFT shows that 70–75% of couples move from distress to recovery, with approximately 90% showing significant improvement.
What to Expect
Sessions are a space for both of you to be heard. We’ll work together to:
- Identify the cycles of conflict or disconnection pulling you apart
- Understand the emotional needs and fears driving those patterns
- Build new ways of responding to each other that create safety and closeness
- Develop practical tools you can use between sessions
Most couples begin to notice a real shift within the first several sessions.
Some Concerns You May Have About Therapy
-
We understand that therapy is a financial investment, but your relationship is worth it. We are on some insurance panels, and we offer some reduced fee appointments to make therapy more accessible and affordable.

As humans in relationship, we all struggle and falter at times. Talking to an unbiased person and revealing the whole picture is the first step to getting help. All couples face challenges, and there is no shame in being brave enough to get help.
-
Therapists should not tell people what to do. A therapist’s job is to help you evaluate your relationship and discover your own needs and desires so that you can make the decisions that are right for you. As therapists trained in couples therapy, we know healthy relationships can be the key to a healthy life.
-
Come by yourself. It is not unusual for one member of a couple to refuse couples counseling. You will benefit from having a safe place to discuss your relationship which can bring healing and affect change within your relationship.
A Safe Place to Do This Work
We know it takes real courage to open up about your relationship, especially around something tender, to someone you’ve just met. Our goal is to make counseling a space where you both feel safe, supported, and never judged. Together, we’ll help you grow into your best selves, individually and as partners, so you can move from surviving each day to truly reconnecting.
Take the First Step
If any of this resonates, you don’t have to keep navigating it alone. Reaching out is often the hardest part.
We’re here to make the rest a little easier.
