Couples Therapy online throughout Colorado
Change the way you communicate, navigate conflict, and show up for each other.
Relationships take work, but you don't have to keep having the same conversations or feeling misunderstood. I help couples identify what's happening between them and develop new ways of responding, connecting, and working through difficult moments.
When the same conflict keeps happening
Maybe you've talked about the same issues countless times, read the relationship books, or promised each other things would be different. And yet, when emotions run high, you find yourselves responding in familiar ways.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow those moments down, understand what's driving them, and practice something different together.
What couples in Colorado come to couples therapy for:
Communication Breakdown
You keep having the same argument without reaching resolution.
Parenting
You have different ideas of how to raise your child.

Moving, career changes, or aging parents have shifted the relationship.

Be able to talk about difficult things without escalating or shutting down.

“We needed a space where we could talk to each other.”
Support the parts
that are activated by the cycle
Respond to each other differently
Stop the negative cycle
Rather than asking…
“Who’s right?”
We get curious about what’s happening underneath the fight of the week.
What are you protecting?
What are you needing?
What are you trying to communicate when you act that way?
What do you try next?
Feel more connected and understood
More than communication tips.
A deeper understanding of your relationship.I help you do that more successfully.
The romantic relationship is often our primary attachment relationship in adulthood. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based approach that helps you understand the negative cycles you get caught in—and the deeper needs driving it so you can better communicate what you actually want - and be heard!
I weave in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to support the parts of you that get defensive, shut down, criticize, or push harder. You are likely trying to protect something important.
