Couples Therapy
The fight is almost never about the dishes. Underneath, both of you are asking the same question: are you there for me? We work at that level.
Who this is for
Is this you two?
You’re having the same fight on repeat — different topics, same ending.
You’ve drifted into a careful, polite distance and feel more like roommates than partners.
Trust has been broken, and you don’t know how to find each other again.
A big transition is coming — marriage, a baby, a move — and you want to build on solid ground.
The work
Repair over blame
Beneath most gridlock is an attachment cycle: one partner protests the distance, the other protects against the conflict, and both end up alone. Naming that cycle — instead of blaming each other for it — is where change begins.
I work with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to slow the cycle down and rebuild secure connection, and with the Gottman Method for its research-grounded tools around conflict, repair, and friendship. Both of you will be resourced; neither of you will be the villain.
Where old trauma plays a part in the pattern — and it often does — my depth and somatic training means we can work with it in the room, not around it.
Couples work is private pay: insurance requires a diagnosis and dictates session structure, and relational work doesn’t fit that frame.
