💞 Therapy to ease the pressure and strengthen your connections

You NEVER consider me

All my partner hears is that things are “never good enough.” When I try to explain how I really feel, they walk away. I’ve tried to let it go, but I don’t feel cared for — either way I end up hurt.

Every time I bring it up, the cycle repeats: tears, a vague promise to change, then nothing. Time passes, I bring it up again, and it resets. I finally said, “If nothing changes, I’m done.”

Honestly, I’m exhausted. I feel stuck in the same pattern and like I’m at a breaking point. I don’t know what else to do.

You’re caught in the same cycle:

One of you brings up how things aren’t working, the other feels hurt or overwhelmed, and it ends in promises that fade with time. Then the pattern repeats. Over time, you both feel stuck — one unheard, the other like they’re never enough.

It’s exhausting, and it leaves you both questioning where the relationship is headed.

Couples therapy can help you break this cycle. Together, we’ll create space where both of you feel seen, cared for, and able to have conversations that actually lead to change.

Improve your relationship with others - including your partner

3 simple steps

Step 1

Book your first couples therapy session when you’re ready to begin.

👉 The first couple session is 90-minutes to give us time to go over what brought you here.

Step 2

Schedule individual sessions to give me clarity on your history and help build our connection as we begin our journey together

👉 Individual sessions are 60-minutes.

Step 3

Set up couples sessions to begin our work together of getting you feeling more connected.

👉 Subsequent couples’ sessions are 60-minutes.

Although change in therapy doesn’t happen overnight, there’s hope!

We can work together to identify the underlying patterns that keep you stuck. Then work towards changing them.

I work best with couples who want to improve their relationship and are committed to the process of change. This will include feeling uncomfortable at times as we work together to navigate and get you to where you want to be.
