We all seek connection.
It’s the most basic and primary human need. Yet, developing and sustaining relationships can be quite complex. We often find ourselves in relationships where we simply feel unfulfilled. My perspective is rooted in attachment theory—the idea that our earliest relationships with caregivers dramatically shape our relationships in adulthood. These internal templates drive our desire for connection and, more importantly, influence who we decide to connect with.
Find the courage to state your needs.
Life is a balance between learning to get your needs met by others and meeting your own needs. However, many of us don’t know how to articulate or fulfill our relational needs—or even identify what they are in the first place. In couples therapy, I’ll help you communicate what you’re longing for and explore how you’d like to show up as a partner. As a couples therapist, my role is to help both of you co-create a relationship that feels mutually satisfying.

Most couples wait for a crisis.
But you don’t have to. Many of us hope that, in the “right” relationship, everything will unfold effortlessly. Often, it doesn’t. By doing the work now, you can prevent many relationship issues from arising in the first place. And if your problems have already piled up, we can address those too. In our sessions, I won’t just let you rehash the same arguments you’ve had at home. Together, we’ll uncover the root causes of your disconnection—and work to resolve them.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can couples therapy help with intimacy issues, like mismatched sex drives?
Absolutely. The truth is, very few couples have identical sex drives—so let’s start by normalizing that. Erotic discrepancy is common. The goal in therapy isn’t to force you and your partner to become the same, but to understand each other’s unique sexual templates. From there, we work together to create a sex life that feels mutually satisfying, playful, and connected.
​
Can therapy help us figure out if we should stay together or break up?
Yes. My role as a couples therapist isn’t to make that decision for you, but to help you both clarify what you truly want. Sometimes that means strengthening the relationship and recommitting. Other times, it means realizing that parting ways may be the most respectful and caring choice. Either way, therapy offers a safe, structured space to explore what’s best for each of you.
​
Can therapy help us rebuild trust after infidelity or a major betrayal?
It can—and this is a common reason couples seek therapy. Betrayals, whether through infidelity or another significant breach of trust, are deeply painful. While we can’t undo the past, therapy can help you rebuild the relationship on a new foundation—one that is rooted in transparency, emotional honesty, and consistent commitment. These are the essential building blocks of trust.
​
How does attachment theory play into your couples therapy approach?
Attachment theory is central to how I work with couples. Our early relationships—typically with parents or caregivers—shape how we connect, trust, and respond to conflict as adults. Understanding these patterns helps couples see not just what they’re doing, but why. I believe attachment dynamics are often the key to lasting relationship change.
​
What if one of us is hesitant about therapy—how do we get started?
We begin with a free consultation. I’ll meet with both of you, listen to your individual perspectives, and learn about your goals for therapy. There’s no pressure to commit right away—or at all. Like any form of therapy, the process should feel collaborative, safe, and comfortable. We take things one step at a time, always prioritizing your shared comfort and readiness.
