Trauma-informed couples therapy
Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.
Our Approach
Relationships can bring out the most complex parts of us. You and your partner love each other and want to experience the same connection that brought you together, but something has gotten in the way. It has become harder to be vulnerable, to ask for what you need, and to turn toward each other in connection.
Our process is simple and thoughtful.
This is a common experience in long-term relationships. As life happens, difficult patterns develop and you start to feel more distant. You stop feeling seen and heard, and it is harder to feel safe together as you once did.
IT’S TIME TO CREATE NEW PATTERNS
We all bring old wounds to a relationship. A history of insecurity, abandonment, betrayal and other hurtful experiences color how we show up with others. Our partner may be unwittingly triggering these wounds, creating a domino effect of defensiveness and conflict.

We all bring old wounds to a relationship. A history of insecurity, abandonment, betrayal and other hurtful experiences color how we show up with others. Our partner may be unwittingly triggering these wounds, creating a domino effect of defensiveness and conflict.
Over time, emotional distance grows, making it even harder to reach one another.
Couples therapy can interrupt these patterns and give you the tools to create new ones. We can work together to identify what’s beneath the anger and distance that fuel your painful patterns.
YOU MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING:
Communication often makes you feel unheard and distant
Conflict feels harder or more painful than it should
Affection and connection do not come as easily as they once did
It feels difficult being vulnerable and sharing with each other
Disconnection has impacted physical intimacy
Repair after conflict is uncomfortable or nonexistent
Feel Safe Being Vulnerable Again
Relationships are at their best when partners feel curious, warm, and open– even when navigating a disagreement. This requires emotional safety: we must believe that we’ll be treated gently if we let our guard down. Our work will begin with creating this safety.
We’ll use this foundation to explore what has been coming up within each of you: the hurt, fear, disappointment, and other feelings that may need each other’s attention and care. You’ll rebuild trust and access the tenderness that may have gotten lost.
Our StoryOnce we’ve created this safe container together, we’ll work toward developing and practicing the skills to address each other’s needs, navigate conflict in a healthier way, and repair hurt to bring each other closer.
