Reconnect with Yourself and the Ones You Love
When our relationships feel off, everything feels harder. We lose our sense of ease, of closeness, of being on the same team.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect, and turn toward each other with care, even when things feel tense or uncertain.
Whether you're navigating a rough patch or longing to feel close again, this work helps you move beyond problem-solving and build a deeper connection with your partner and with yourself.
Why Relationships Feel So Hard Sometimes
There’s no exact roadmap for how to do relationships, and many people carry old wounds they didn’t even know were there.
These past hurts can shape the way you or your partner show up, react, and connect with one another, and that’s not a personal failure. It’s often what you’ve each learned in order to survive.
Because these patterns are often unconscious, you can repeat them for years without knowing why.
Couples therapy can help you start noticing these patterns with compassion, rather than blame. I’ll help you both deepen your understanding of what’s going on underneath the surface and how to move toward each other instead of away.

The Heart of the Work: Dialogue, Safety & Connection
At the core of couples therapy is the intention to create emotional safety, a space where each of you can be seen, heard, and felt without judgment or reactivity. This safety allows you to open up dialogue and cultivate your connection.
In our work together, we’ll focus on:
Slowing down reactive patterns and shifting out of blame
Creating space for each person’s voice and experience
Exploring the deeper emotional needs and fears underneath conflict
Strengthening mutual understanding, curiosity, and empathy
Building a relationship that feels secure, responsive, and alive
Whether you're facing disconnection or recent conflict, couples therapy can help you feel like a team again and foster the connection you both deserve.
A Space to Heal, Reconnect, and Grow
Couples therapy isn’t about picking sides or figuring out who’s right. It’s about helping you both feel safe enough to show up with curiosity, speak honestly, and listen deeply to one another.
If you’re longing for more connection or feel like you’ve lost your way but still care for each other, you don’t have to figure this out alone.
What Is Imago Therapy?
I use Imago Relationship Therapy within my work with couples. This is a powerful approach that helps couples understand how early relational wounds show up in adult partnerships.
Imago means “image” in Latin and refers to the unconscious blueprint we carry from childhood of what love and connection feel like. Without realizing it, individuals often choose partners who activate both the comforting and painful parts of that blueprint.
Imago Relationship Therapy helps bring those unconscious patterns into awareness, so that you can stop reacting on autopilot and start responding with clarity, presence, and compassion. It’s a way to turn conflict into an opportunity, not just for understanding each other, but for real healing.
A Blending of Brain and Heart
Imago Relationship Therapy is grounded in neuroscience, helping regulate the nervous system and engage the parts of the brain responsible for empathy, curiosity, and connection.
It’s also rooted in the belief that healing happens not in isolation, but in the space between us. That space is where we learn how to love and be loved.

For Families and the Wounds We Inherit
While Imago is often known as a couples therapy model, its tools extend powerfully to family systems—especially adult children and parents, siblings, or blended families. Anywhere there’s a relationship marked by silence, distance, or unresolved pain, this work offers a way forward.
When we’re stuck in recurring conflict or shut-down dynamics with loved ones, we’re often reenacting something deeper—what was modeled for us, what we had to adapt to, what we never had the chance to repair. This is intergenerational pain or trauma, and without awareness, it tends to repeat.
Even the most loving parents or partners can unintentionally pass down the pain they haven’t had the space to heal.
Family therapy helps families communicate without escalation, revisit old wounds without blame, and create new patterns rooted in respect, safety, and care. Instead of defending or withdrawing, you’ll learn to turn toward one another with curiosity and compassion. When that happens, something shifts—not just in the moment, but across generations.
Healing doesn’t have to stop with you. This work can support your whole family.

A Therapist Who Understands the Whole System
For years, I’ve helped individuals heal relational wounds and reconnect with themselves. Time and again, I’ve witnessed how much these internal shifts are connected to the systems people live within, especially their partnerships and families. People often say, “I wish my partner or parent could be part of this work too.”
That’s why I’ve brought couples therapy and family therapy into my practice. Imago Relationship Therapy allows me to support your healing not only individually, but in the spaces between you and the people who matter most.
Whether I’m sitting with one person, a couple, or a family, my goal is the same:
To help you build more connection, clarity, and possibility within yourself and the people you love.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
When your relationship is in distress or when you're simply longing for a deeper connection, reaching out for support can be one of the most loving things you do for yourself and your loved ones.
Whether you're a couple navigating disconnection, a family struggling to communicate, or an individual wanting to include your partner or parent in the work, therapy can help.
You don’t have to keep repeating the same painful patterns. There’s another way. Let’s begin together.

The Ripples Outside of Your Relationship
When couples are in conflict or emotionally disconnected, it doesn’t just affect the two of you, it often ripples out into your whole family. Children are especially sensitive to the tone and emotional climate of the household.
By exploring and healing the dynamics within your relationship, you’re also modeling something powerful for your children:
Relationships take work.
Repair is possible.
Emotional safety and connection matter.
