Change starts here.

I help couples and people in relationships who are struggling and can't stop the cycle of defensiveness, blame, and disconnection between themselves. 

​

When my clients come to therapy, they have tried to work it out on their own, but it always leaves them feeling defeated and hopeless. Others come to me because they need support with their communication - or - they genuinely do not understand how the state of their relationship got to this point. They want to find deeper understanding, learn skills, and change the pattern.

​

When they first come in, they don't know how to stop the arguing before it gets out of control, often saying hurtful things they don't mean and continuing a frustrating cycle they have experienced many times before. Conversely, some clients describe how big, important topics tend to get swept under the rug. The topic has become so dusty, just lying under the surface of daily interactions, that they have no clue how to even broach the topic anymore.

Clients sometimes ask me if their relationship is salvageable. It feels like any time they try to connect, it ends up with both people feeling hurt, unseen, and misunderstood. ​​  ​​
