Couples and Relationship Counseling

There are ups and downs in every relationship, but sometimes it feels hard to know how to get out of a pattern or rut, how to navigate new circumstances or transitions together, or how to honor your own feelings and needs while also tending to those of your partner and relationship.

You may feel that you or your partner have changed, that a transition like parenting, trauma, or loss has brought out parts of you or your partner that challenge your usual roles, that relationship issues you were already facing have become more difficult to manage, or that you have less time, fewer resources, and less energy to spend on each other than you did before.

Some of the themes that I help couples work through are: 

• Attachment struggles (trouble feeling safe and secure in your relationship) 

• Parenting styles

• Division of labor

• Changes in intimacy 

• Identity shifts

• Communication challenges

I can help you get beneath the conflicts you keep having to help you understand what’s really going on, how to communicate in more effective ways, and how to care for yourself while you tend to your relationship to feel more secure and connected.
