Couples Therapy
Couples seek counseling for many reasons: communication difficulties, recurring conflict, major life transitions, breaches of trust, or feeling emotionally disconnected. Over time, partners can become trapped in interaction patterns shaped by attachment needs, past experiences, and unspoken expectations—leaving both people feeling unheard, misunderstood, or alone despite wanting closeness and repair.
Our couples counseling is informed by attachment theory, psychodynamic understanding, and Gottman-based interventions. We work with couples to identify and shift unhelpful relational patterns, deepen emotional awareness, and strengthen communication and conflict-management skills. We specialize in working with couples in which one or both partners are impacted by trauma, neurodivergence, or chronic health conditions, and we attend carefully to how these experiences shape connection, communication, and caregiving within the relationship. Therapy focuses on building emotional safety, fostering repair, and supporting couples in creating more secure, connected, and resilient relationships grounded in shared values.

Premarital Counseling
Pre-marital counseling is a proactive and intentional space for couples preparing for marriage who want to strengthen their foundation before challenges arise. Unlike couples therapy, which often focuses on repairing areas of distress, pre-marital counseling is future-oriented—supporting couples in building skills, shared understanding, and resilience as they enter this next stage together.
Our pre-marital counseling is guided by the PREPARE/ENRICH model, an evidence-based approach that helps couples explore communication styles, conflict patterns, values, expectations, finances, intimacy, family dynamics, and roles within the relationship. Through structured assessment and collaborative conversations, we help couples deepen connection, address potential growth areas, and develop tools for navigating stress and change. Our work is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in helping couples build a marriage rooted in trust, clarity, and shared values.
