Couples Therapy

Most couples who come to see me are feeling deeply hurt and frustrated by having the same arguments over and over again, with no resolution or change. They often feel lonely, worn out, confused, and even hopeless.

They are asking themselves: “Why can’t my partner understand me or support me?”

Or: “Why isn’t anything I do good enough?”

Each partner is craving connection, closeness, and lightness, but every attempt seems to end in an argument, pushing you further away from each other. It’s very painful.


There’s a reason for all of this.

I can help you and your partner make sense of the cycle you’re stuck in and discover new ways of being with each other.

As a couples therapist, I won’t keep score or tell you who’s right and who’s wrong. I won’t provide you with quick fixes.

I will create a safe and non-judgemental space where you both can:

  • Slow down

  • Understand the meaning behind your own behaviors and your partner’s behaviors

  • Experience new ways of communicating and interacting

  • Foster meaningful and lasting change and connection

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), considered one of the “gold standards” for couples therapy, and integrate the Gottman Method, Nonviolent Communication, and Internal Family Systems.

I am affirming of and experienced with many backgrounds and identities including:

  • Mixed neurotype couples, including ADHD and Austistic folks

  • Intercultural and mixed race couples

  • Non-monogamous and polyamorous couples

Telehealth

I offer couples therapy via a secure, HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I have done exclusively telehealth sessions since early 2020 and have found it to be extraordinarily effective and accessible for most clients.

In the majority of cases, I ask that couples join session sitting together in the same place.

Prior to the session, you will receive a link to join via email or text, depending on your preference.

You will need:

  • a place that is private and where you will not be interrupted

  • a stable internet connection

  • a working camera and microphone on your phone, tablet, or computer

  • to be located within the state of Oregon
