Welcome!

Does it feel like you and your partner keep missing each other? You’re not alone. 

Life gets busy with work, kids, and daily tasks. It’s easy to look up and realize you and your partner feel miles apart from each other. Your talks turn into fights. The silences have gotten heavy. You wish you could feel close again, but you don’t know how to get there. 

What if things could be different?

Imagine:

  • Actually talking without going into the same old fights
  • Feeling like your partner really “gets” you
  • Trusting each other with what you actually think (and feel)
  • Having both of your needs met in the relationship

This better way is possible! With the right support, communication can flow more easily, conflict can feel less threatening, and you and your partner can be on the same team. 

I specialize in using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most researched and effective approaches to helping couples break out of stuck patterns. If faith is an important part of your relationship, we can bring that into our work together (but it’s totally fine if that’s not your thing). 

I’m really good at two things: helping couples reconnect and helping people who always put others first learn to speak up for themselves. I’m here to help you build the relationship you’ve always wanted. 

Ready to feel closer again? Let’s get started.

Here are a few ways I can be helpful to you:

Couples Counseling

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a heavily researched form of couples therapy, to help couples create a better connection and communicate better with one another.

Christian Counseling

If your faith is a big part of your life, I’d love to provide counseling through that lens for you. If not, no sweat, we can work together in the way you are most comfortable.

I love using EMDR to help break people pleasing habits and negative narratives to live more genuinely and lovingly.

Schedule first appointment and complete paperwork

Once we have chatted and believe we could work well together, we will schedule a first appointment where we'll gather more information about what is going on to really address the problem thoroughly.

Attend weekly/biweekly therapy sessions

Begin the hard but incredibly valuable work of creating a better connection with your partner and/or yourself. I will most likely give you homework of observing certain patterns or offer resources e.g. books, podcasts, etc.

Insurance & Payment Options

I accept private pay and select insurance plans, including Optum/UHC/UMR, Custom Design Benefits, and Aetna. Using your insurance benefits for couples therapy is possible, but comes with several strings attached. Check out this blog I wrote for more information.

Many clients prefer using out-of-network benefits or HSA/FSA cards for greater privacy and flexibility. Sliding scale options/discounted packages offered for those in need.
