Trauma-informed marriage and couples therapy unfolds in a compassionate, understanding space designed to support your relationship journey as you move through challenges together.
If you’ve landed here, you might be in a place where the connection you once had feels distant or gone. Maybe you and your partner can’t seem to find time for each other. Maybe you feel alone in your own marriage, caught in the same cycles of arguing, or struggling to trust after a betrayal. Or maybe you’ve fallen out of love entirely and are wondering if there’s a way back.
I work with couples who are tired of feeling stuck and ready to replace conflict, distance, and uncertainty with safety, intimacy, and shared purpose. My trauma-informed approach means we look deeper than surface-level communication skills, and we address the patterns, experiences, and unspoken fears that have been shaping your relationship all along.
In sessions, you’ll first unpack the dynamics contributing to your challenges whether it’s repeating arguments, unresolved past hurts, or fading intimacy. From here, the focus shifts toward building new ways of relating: improving communication, managing emotional reactivity, fostering responsiveness, and establishing shared intentions for your partnership. I offer guidance in repairing emotional wounds, enhancing resilience, creating new positive bonding experiences, and cultivating a more fulfilling relational life. Sessions may include individual reflections as needed, but always with the intention of strengthening the relationship as a whole.
For couples who feel distant, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.
For couples preparing for marriage or a lifelong commitment who want to build a strong, lasting foundation.
