Couples Therapy for Relationships That Feel Stuck, Disconnected, or Uncertain
You may find yourselves having the same conversations over and over, feeling distant, struggling with intimacy, or unsure where your relationship is headed.
Couples therapy isn’t just about communication—it’s about understanding the deeper patterns that keep you stuck and learning how to shift them.
I work with couples who want to repair, rebuild, or gain clarity about the future of their relationship.
Specialized Support for Complex Relationships
I work with couples navigating:
Ongoing conflict, recurring patterns, or emotional disconnection
Infidelity, betrayal, trust, and repair
Cultural, identity, or family dynamics impacting the relationship
Consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, or evolving relationship structures
Major life transitions or changes that are reshaping the relationship
Ambivalence about whether to stay together or separate
Your relationship doesn’t exist outside of your histories, identities, cultures, or lived experiences—and neither does our work together.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
My work with couples is grounded primarily in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy and integrates attachment-based, trauma-informed, somatic, and sex therapy approaches.
From a developmental perspective, relationships naturally change over time. Partners move through different stages of connection, independence, growth, and change—and they do not always move through them at the same pace. What looks like a communication problem may actually reflect differences in needs, expectations, boundaries, intimacy, or where each partner is developmentally.
Our work focuses on understanding the patterns you create together while also helping each partner develop a stronger capacity to stay connected without losing themselves. This can mean learning to tolerate differences, communicate more honestly, regulate emotional responses, take responsibility for your part in the dynamic, and relate to one another with greater curiosity and choice.
When trauma, attachment experiences, sexuality, culture, or identity are shaping the relationship, we make room for those layers as part of the work rather than treating them as separate from the relationship itself.
Our Work Together May Focus On
Recognizing the patterns you create together and understanding each partner’s role in maintaining them
Staying more regulated and connected during conflict, disagreement, or difference
Developing greater differentiation—the ability to remain connected while maintaining a clear sense of yourself
Communicating wants, needs, boundaries, and difficult truths more directly
Repairing ruptures and rebuilding trust after betrayal or disconnection
Navigating differences in desire, intimacy, sexuality, values, or relationship expectations
Clarifying what each of you wants and the direction of the relationship
The goal is not to eliminate difference or conflict. It is to develop a relationship that can hold greater honesty, complexity, and change.
When to Reach Out
You don’t have to wait until your relationship is in crisis. Couples therapy can be useful when you notice that the ways you’ve been relating are no longer working—or when the relationship is asking something new of you.
You may be:
Having the same conflict without reaching anything different
Feeling increasingly distant, lonely, or disconnected
Struggling to navigate differences without one or both of you feeling pressured, criticized, or shut down
Trying to rebuild after infidelity or another rupture in trust
Experiencing changes in intimacy, sexuality, or desire
Renegotiating expectations, boundaries, or the structure of your relationship
Wondering whether the relationship can—or should—continue
You don’t need to know exactly what needs to change before you begin.
Special Offerings
Not every couple comes to therapy with the same goal—or needs the same kind of work.
For couples who are uncertain whether to stay together or separate, I offer Discernment Counseling, a structured, short-term process designed specifically for couples experiencing different levels of commitment to the relationship.
It may be appropriate when one partner is leaning toward leaving while the other wants to preserve the relationship, or when there is significant ambivalence about continuing.
The goal is not to solve the relationship problems or convince either partner to stay. It is to develop greater clarity and confidence about what comes next.
Discernment Therapy
I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for couples in person in Denver. For appropriate candidates who are interested in psychedelic-assisted relational work, KAP can be incorporated into a structured process that includes preparation, a supported ketamine session, and integration.
This work is coordinated with a medical provider and is intended to complement the relational work we are doing together.
