Couples & family therapy

Understanding what happens between you.

A relationship involves more than one account of what has happened. I work with couples and families to consider how these different experiences influence the way you respond to one another.

When relationship struggles keep resurfacing

Sometimes a particular event remains painful long after it happened. At other times, unresolved struggles build over years, making it difficult to feel heard or talk without returning to familiar patterns.

I am interested both in the difficulty that brings you to therapy and in how each person understands it. We examine communication in relation to your shared history, individual experiences, and expectations of one another.

Couples therapy

Our work can focus on recurring disagreements, painful events that have not been worked through, and difficulty expressing needs or listening to one another. I provide a supportive space to explore what happens between you and practice communicating with more clarity and care.

Family therapy with teens and adult children

I work with families that include teenagers and adult children. We can explore unresolved relationship struggles, particular events that continue to cause hurt, and communication that leaves family members feeling misunderstood.

My aim is to provide a space where each person can speak and be heard. I do not work with small children.

What we explore together

We consider how each person’s history, family roles, and experiences of hurt influence the relationship. What one person intends and what another person experiences may be quite different, and those differences are important to understand.

We pay attention to what unfolds between family members or partners, including patterns of conflict, withdrawal, and unmet needs. Earlier relationships and trauma can be part of understanding these dynamics.

I currently offer virtual therapy only.

Discussing whether we might work together
