I work with couples who feel stuck between wanting a deeper connection and needing a stronger sense of individuality. This often shows up as power struggles, repeated conflict, or pursuit–withdrawal cycles. Maybe one partner pursues while the other withdraws, or maybe there’s little conflict—just a quiet distance. Couples therapy provides a space to slow these patterns, understand the underlying dynamics, and strengthen your connection with clarity and intention.

Here are some of the concerns I often work with in couples therapy:

• Communication breakdowns and frequent conflict

• Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected

• Struggles with intimacy or sexual closeness

• Preparing for marriage or navigating premarital concerns

• Adjusting to parenthood or other major life transitions

• Rebuilding trust after betrayal or broken agreements

• Balancing career, family, and relationship demands

• Unspoken tension or unresolved resentments

• Parenting concerns or new parent discussions
