Online couples therapy

Feel like a team again.

Most couples I meet aren’t looking for perfection. They want the tension to ease. They want to talk without everything going sideways and feel like they’re on the same side again.

When we meet, I’ll help you slow it down, see where the two of you keep losing each other, and try a different way through it.

What you want may be simple

You want things to feel better between you.

Not perfect. Better. You want to talk without bracing for the argument, feel some warmth again, and know whether the two of you can actually get there.

Some couples come in after a blowup, an affair, or a serious conversation about separating. Others can’t point to one moment. They just know they’ve become careful, distant, and lonely in the same house.

You can care about each other and still be stuck. Caring is important, but it doesn’t automatically show you how to stop the pattern once it starts.

How couples therapy begins

Before we try to change the pattern, I want to understand what’s actually happening between you.

One argument won’t tell me the whole story. We begin with a longer joint intake, individual conversations, and the Gottman Relationship Checkup.

Then I sit down with both of you and tell you what I see. You’ll know where I think the relationship gets stuck, what is still working, and what I recommend we focus on first.

A little about me

I’m calm in the room, but I’m not passive.

I don’t think it helps for me to sit back while you have the same argument you have at home. I’ll interrupt when the conversation starts running away from you, tell you what I’m seeing, and help you try something different. The goal is for those conversations to go better when I’m not there.

If this sounds familiar

If some of this sounds a little too familiar, you can start with the intake.

The first appointment is for telling me what has been happening. We don’t need the whole future of the relationship decided before you schedule it.
