My Approach
As I’ve worked with couples, I’ve seen how relationship patterns are closely tied to each partner’s life experiences. When we focus on the relationship, it naturally opens the door to individual exploration. In turn, when we take time to understand who each partner is and where they come from, the relationship begins to shift in meaningful ways.
Conflict around communication, intimacy, family, or finances is rarely a “simple fix,” because we bring our whole selves into each of these areas of life. In couples therapy, we explore how two equally complex and multi-faceted people can build an intimate partnership together while also embracing each other’s differences.
Discounted Couples Intensives
These topic-focused intensives balance a guided structure with flexibility tailored to your relationship.
What? Structured 8-session series designed to address a specific area.
How long? Weekly or biweekly, 8 sessions total.
How much? $100/session (discounted rate).
Who? Best for couples with a foundation of partnership… even if things aren’t smooth, you feel some mutual respect or teamwork. Screening helps determine fit.
What do you mean by “topic-focused”? These intensives are designed around specific themes that couples often bring into therapy. By choosing a topic, we can spend our time with clear focus. We blend education, guided exercises, and conversation to help you dig into the area that needs the most attention. The topics I offer come directly from the concerns I hear most often in my work with couples. Please see below for current topics offered.
Is this group therapy? Nope! This is traditional couples therapy but with a more focused structure.
Current Topics Offered
-
Explore your “communication cycle,” identifying how your pattern of responses impact each other and can ultimately leave you feeling stuck. We then introduce a concrete communication skill that allows you to practice shifting the pattern, expressing what you need your partner to hear, and listening with openness.
-
An introduction to principles of sex therapy. The aim of this intensive is to get couples talking about sex and intimacy in a supportive and educational space. You can expect lots of good content as well as some activities to guide you through exploring intimacy in your relationship at your own pace.
*Sex and intimacy can be a deeply personal topic. I require additional screening to determine if this intensive is appropriate for your relationship. We may decide that traditional, ongoing therapy is a better fit.
-
Inspired in part by Fair Play, this intensive supports couples in creating fairness around the daily responsibilities of running a household and family. This work requires time and commitment, but leaves couples with less frustration and a greater sense of teamwork in the relationship. It also empowers partners to feel competent in their responsibilities, freeing up space to pursue activities that fill them up.

A guided-space for couples preparing for marriage or long-term commitment. Share your story, explore foundational topics, and leave with greater trust, clarity, and confidence for the road ahead.
When you’re looking for a couples therapist, it’s important for both partners to get a sense that it’s a good fit. Reach out for a low-pressure conversation to explore if working together could be right for your relationship. I am passionate about connecting people to resources in their community. If working with me is not the right fit, I know other incredible therapists and I will do my best to point you in the right direction.
