COUPLES THERAPY
In our sessions, we may explore old wounds that affect present connection, create a safe space to talk openly about sex, or practice mindfulness to slow down reactive patterns.
My work with couples combines psychotherapy, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and the Alexander Technique. These approaches help couples regulate their nervous systems and start to reconnect.

FAQs About Couples Therapy
Do both partners need to attend?
Yes. Therapy works best when you are both present, though brief individual check-ins can help at times.
How long does it take?
Every couple is different. Some couples come for short-term work to resolve a specific problem. Others choose longer-term therapy to strengthen and deepen their relationship.
Is couples therapy only for couples in crisis?
No. Many couples come in simply to improve communication or strengthen closeness before problems grow.
Does therapy help after cheating?
Yes. Healing after betrayal is one of the most common reasons couples begin counseling. Together we work on rebuilding trust and moving forward.
