Relationships can be hard. Couples therapy can help.

Other people can be at the center of our greatest joys and deepest pains. We grow as people through relationships, but sometimes our most intimate partnerships become stuck in important places and end up repeating patterns of dysfunction that cause both parties to suffer.

Couples therapy offers an environment and a method for sorting out the stuff we all bring into relationships: tendencies that create emotional distance, repeated hurts, breakdowns in communication, and pockets of resentment and mistrust that can erode the safety, mutual enrichment, and vitality of the couple.

Often couples who come to see me are struggling with issues involving sex, money, commitment, or trust. You may be challenged by destructive patterns of conflict, or find yourselves drifting into distance and estrangement. I work with people of any gender identity, sexual orientation, or relationship structure.
