Couples Therapy
When the relationship is showing you your deepest wounds...
You may feel unheard, disconnected, or stuck in cycles that keep repeating no matter how much you talk about them. Conflict can pull you out of your body into reactivity, shutdown, or escalation.
​
Often, there's a painful tension: it can feel as though you must choose between staying connected to yourself or staying connected to your partner. Many couples arrive with one person already doing individual therapy and longing for the relationship to catch up to the growth that's already happening but the other might not be as far along in their own self growth.
​
Often what's triggering you most about the relationship or the other person is where your wounds are the most raw and tender. This is an invitation not only to grow closer to your partner but also to yourself while in connection with another.
It is possible to have yourself and have the other.
What Brings People Here
People often seek this work because they want deeper connection without losing themselves. They're tired of having the same arguments, the same ruptures, the same disconnections — even when there's love and good intention underneath. There's a desire to understand why things escalate and how to stay present when it feels hardest.
​
Many couples are looking for tools that go beyond communication skills — ways to stay regulated, embodied, and anchored in themselves during emotionally charged moments.
How the Work Supports You
Rather than focusing only on what's being said, we pay attention to what's happening internally — the nervous system responses, protective patterns, and moments where self-connection gets lost. Regulation and self-connection are treated as the foundation for meaningful relational connection.
You'll learn how to:
Stay in your body when triggered
Maintain a sense of self while being in relationship
Notice and interrupt patterns of reactivity or shutdown
Relate from choice rather than survival
Connection doesn't come from losing yourself —
it grows from learning how to stay.
Many couples describe the relationship beginning to feel:
​More grounded and spacious
Less effortful to stay inside of
More honest and alive
How Things May Begin to Shift
Over time, conflict often becomes less destabilizing. Instead of being swept away by reactions, you may find yourself able to stay present — even when things are hard. Listening can deepen as there's less self-abandonment, and more internal steadiness to lean into.
Eating Disorder Recovery
Understanding Recovery at This Stage
Even if you're medically stable, the eating disorder can quietly shape your life. The work is about more than food or weight—it's about reconnecting with the deepest parts of yourself.
You may notice:
-
Exercise habits or compulsions that feel out of control
-
Persistent body dissatisfaction or dysmorphia
-
Disconnection from your body and inner needs
-
Self-criticism and pressure to "be further along"
Sometimes, you know something needs to shift—even if change feels frightening.

Adults & Their Parents
Repairing Relationships Without Blame
Relationships between adults and their parents can feel complicated, tender, or quietly painful. You may care deeply about one another—and still feel stuck in patterns that leave everyone feeling misunderstood, defensive, or disconnected.
Adults often come into this work feeling unheard, unseen, or unsupported. Parents may arrive feeling confused, afraid of losing the relationship, or unsure how to respond without making things worse. Many families carry a history where important emotional needs were missed, even when there was love and good intention.
A Different Way of Working Together
This work approaches the relationship as one between two adults while also honoring the fact that the parent/child relationship is never "equal" because it is always, on an emotional level, the parent and the child no matter how old the "child" gets.
In sessions:
-
Space is held for the adult's experience, often for the first time
-
Parents are supported in one on one time with this therapist in learning how to listen without centering themselves or becoming defensive
-
The parent learns to be present emotionally with their child without invalidating their experience or jumping to defensiveness
-
The parent receives support but not in a way that parentifies the adult "child"
-
Both parties are guided toward greater emotional clarity, boundaries, and mutual respect
