AREAS WE CAN SUPPORT
When reaching each other feels difficult.
Communication & recurring conflict
Emotional distance & disconnection
Trust & betrayal
Intimacy & sex
Roles, responsibilities & resentment
Parenthood & family transitions
Premarital & commitment decisions
Uncertainty about the relationship
We welcome couples across racial and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures.
OUR APPROACH
Understanding the pattern. Making room for something different.
One partner pushes for a conversation while the other pulls away. A request lands as criticism. Both leave feeling misunderstood. We help you slow down these moments, understand the emotions underneath them, and practice responding differently. Drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, we work with both the emotional bond and the everyday interactions shaping your relationship. Your culture, identities, family histories, and the pressures outside your relationship belong in this work, too.
More than finding the right words.
You may already know the communication advice—and still struggle to use it when you feel hurt, dismissed, or overwhelmed. Together, we explore what makes those moments difficult. The work may include expressing a need more directly, listening without immediately defending, taking responsibility for harm, and following through on agreements outside of sessions. Each partner’s experience matters. So does accountability for how you treat one another.
