Why Couples Contact Me

Many couples come to me when communication has broken down, trust has been shaken, or intimacy feels out of reach. Sometimes it’s after an affair or betrayal. Other times, it’s during big life changes—welcoming a baby, caring for a parent, adjusting to an empty nest, or preparing for retirement.

In these moments, it can feel like the person you love most is slipping away. The closeness you once shared seems lost, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to find your way back.

What Couples Learn With Me

Struggles in a loving relationship are rarely just about what’s happening now. Old hurts often get triggered, and both of you may fall into patterns learned long ago—patterns that once protected you, but now keep you apart. You may find yourselves repeating the same cycles, hoping for connection, but only ending up more frustrated and lonely.

It’s easy to think the solution is for your partner to change. But real healing begins when you see conflict as an opening—not a sign that something is broken, but an invitation to grow.

Together, we’ll turn these painful moments into opportunities to build trust, rediscover intimacy, and create a bond that feels even stronger than before.

How I Will Work With You And Your Partner

You’ll discover how your relationship can become a powerful catalyst for growth—helping you evolve into the people you most want to be, both individually and as a couple. I’ll guide you in learning a set of concrete, accessible tools that are easy to integrate into daily life.

When you and your partner commit to practicing these tools, the results can be profound. Couples often find themselves returning to a place of deep love and intimacy—one that surpasses the early “honeymoon phase.” Why? Because this time, your connection is rooted not only in passion, but also in the strength you’ve built by growing and healing together.

As trust is restored, you’ll rediscover the very qualities that first drew you to one another, now layered with shared history, resilience, and continuity over time. Laughter returns, playfulness resurfaces, and the bond between you deepens—allowing intimacy and joy to flourish again.

Addiction and Recovery

Addictive behaviors are rituals enacted in an attempt to soothe pain.   

What began as a coping strategy, a part-time way to deal with stress or sadness (or to add fun to your life) became a full-time preoccupation.  Rather than serving as one of many possible ways for dealing with difficult feelings, an addiction becomes the primary one, sometimes the only one.

Do you want to regain control of your life?

If you are struggling with a potential addiction and want to regain control of your life, I can help you assess the situation accurately. You will be able to determine if a controlled use plan is an option.  If we discover that you do indeed have an addiction, I will help you decide what to do about it now.  I can help you face the situation and enter into the recovery process if needed.  You will learn healthier ways to cope with the stressors in your life and obtain tools to avoid relapse and remain in recovery over time.

Codependency

If your relationship is completely draining you, yet you feel stuck out of habit or fear of abandonment, then I can help you take the essential steps needed to refocus on your own happiness and wellbeing.  

One of the defining traits of codependency is the tendency to obsessively track your partner, anchoring your attention and well-being within this other person, instead of within yourself. 

While the addict or Alcoholic is destructively consumed with a substance or activity, the person caught up in codependency has become entirely lost in another person; personal boundaries are not properly maintained and there is an overwhelming preoccupation with "helping" this other person.  

If you have a tendency towards codependency, these same destructive relationship patterns can emerge in relationships where there is no obvious addict or dysfunction.  

Addressing codependency will free you to end destructive relationships as well as transform relationships that are worth salvaging.

Mindfulness and Spirituality

Psychological and spiritual development are inextricably intertwined. Both paths lead to reduced suffering and help people grow in consciousness. As a psychotherapist and spiritual seeker, I work with individuals engaged in personal and spiritual work.

Experience the transformational power of integrating a spiritual practice with your therapeutic work. While we address healing the emotional wounds of the past, we will also explore the profound existential questions related to the meaning of life that can arise while doing deep work and help. you connect with and live your life from your Essential Self.

Pre and Post Psychedelic Journey

Psychedelic journeys can potentially be a powerful synthesis of therapeutic wisdom woven together with the gifts received from medicine.  This integration can accelerate one’s healing process tremendously.  A therapeutic framework is needed, and unfortunately is often missing, to create lasting positive shifts. We will work together to prepare for your journey, and then afterwards harness your insights into meaningful, sustainable change.
