Frequently Asked Questions
-
Couples therapy can help when you're feeling disconnected, stuck in recurring arguments, recovering from a rupture, or navigating transitions like parenthood or loss. It’s not just for crisis—many couples come to strengthen their onnection. I draw from attachment-based, psychodynamic, and emotionally focused frameworks to help each partner feel heard and understood. We work together to explore underlying patterns, improve communication, and support the relationship’s growth with more trust and emotional safety.
-
No. My role is to support the relationship—not one partner over the other. I aim to hold both of your experiences with care and curiosity, and to help you understand the cycle you’re both caught in, rather than assigning blame.
-
Couples therapy can be a powerful investment in your relationship. Even when things feel uncertain, therapy can offer clarity, reduce conflict, and increase emotional closeness. Many couples say they communicate better and feel more connected after working together in therapy.

That's common. Many people worry that couples therapy will lead to blame or conflict. In reality, the process is collaborative and supportive—we focus on understanding both partners’ perspectives and building new ways of relating. I'm happy to answer any questions your partner may have.
-
Yes. I have experience working with couples from a wide range of cultural, religious, and family backgrounds, including interracial, interfaith, and immigrant couples. I understand how cultural values, gender roles, and family expectations can shape relationships. My approach is affirming, curious, and tailored to your unique context—whether you’re navigating bicultural dynamics, extended family involvement, or questions of identity and belonging.
-
Couples therapy sessions are typically weekly for 50–60 minutes. I offer both in-person sessions and secure telehealth options to fit your schedule and comfort level.

Couples therapy can help clarify what each of you wants, whether that’s repairing the relationship or navigating a thoughtful transition. Therapy offers a space to be honest, grieve, and reduce conflict—even if parting is the next step.
