Couples Therapy
When You Still Love Each Other and the Fighting Won’t Stop
You still love each other.
That’s the part that makes this so confusing.
A conversation meant to bring you closer turns sideways in under a minute.
A small disagreement becomes a bigger one.
Afterward you sit in separate rooms, further apart than the argument deserved.
One of you wants to talk it out right now.
The other needs an hour that turns into a day.
The two of you are circling the same pattern, worn into a groove neither of you chose.
When Blended Family Life Adds Layers You Never Signed Up For
If you’re raising a blended family, the strain comes with extra roles and shifting expectations.
Rules that work fine in one house land badly in the other.
That pressure shows up as distance, misread intentions, and resentment neither of you says out loud.
It wears on the relationship long before anyone calls it a problem.
What’s happening between you has a shape and a sequence.
Once the two of you can see it, you can interrupt it. That’s where we’ll start.
How Gottman-Informed Couples Therapy Gets You Back to Each Other
I use a Gottman-informed approach, a researched method for understanding what drives the argument cycle and how couples repair after a hard moment.
Together we’ll find the moment escalation starts, which is usually earlier than either of you notices.
We’ll build the repair skills that let a hard moment end instead of echoing for three days.
Where blended family dynamics add strain, we’ll make roles, boundaries, and expectations clear enough that they stop being a nightly negotiation.
How This Work Actually Feels
Emotional safety comes first, because honesty grows out of it.
We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, with no pushing past what either of you is ready for.
My style is warm and grounded, with practical guidance and a touch of humor to keep things human.
You’ll both leave sessions with something you can use before the next one.
How Your Relationship Changes through Couples Therapy
Disagreements end in the room where they started.
You’ll hear each other before the defensiveness arrives.
Repair takes minutes instead of days.
You’ll handle the hard moments as teammates, and you’ll feel close again.

Your North Is Still There
You don't have to keep finding your way by yourself.
There’s a version of these ordinary days where the photo brings a smile, the argument doesn’t spiral, and your own needs make the list. I’ve helped people rediscover their direction and start building a life they want to live in, and I can do the same with you.
Getting started is simple: email or text me, and we’ll set up a free phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit. From there, we’ll start finding your north together.
