How I Work With Couples
Relationships are one of the most profound sources of both joy and challenge in our lives. As a couples therapist, I recognize that every relationship is a unique dynamic, shaped by the individuals within it. My approach combines clinical expertise with a deep respect for the personal and spiritual growth each person brings to the partnership. I guide couples to create deeper connections by encouraging both partners to look inward, accept themselves, and stop trying to change each other.
My Philosophy
I believe that meaningful relationships begin with self-acceptance. True transformation happens when each partner commits to doing the inner work to understand their own patterns, take responsibility for their growth, and develop compassion for themselves. Trying to change your partner is a futile effort—lasting change begins within. My role is to help you uncover the beliefs and behaviors that are holding you back and to encourage the honest, sometimes challenging conversations that lead to real progress.
What You Can Expect
A Safe Space with Honest Feedback
I create a space where you can express your truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. While I am deeply compassionate, I am also direct when I know you can handle it. Growth requires both support and accountability, and I will be there to guide you as you navigate your journey together.
Focus on Inner Work
Our work begins with understanding yourself—your triggers, fears, and desires. This self-awareness will help you approach your partner with empathy and authenticity. When you stop looking to your partner for validation or blame, you can show up as a healthier, more grounded version of yourself.
Effort-Driven Progress
Therapy is not about quick fixes or simple answers. I work best with couples who are committed to putting in the effort to improve their lives and their relationship. While I can guide you, I cannot do the work for you. Your willingness to engage and grow will determine the success of our work together.
Practical Tools and Strategies
In addition to exploring the deeper emotional and spiritual aspects of your relationship, I provide practical tools to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild trust. These strategies will give you a framework to navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity.
