Couples Therapy
Couples often seek therapy when they find themselves caught in patterns that have become difficult to change. The same conflicts may recur despite efforts to communicate differently, leaving one or both partners feeling misunderstood, disconnected, angry, or alone.
Psychodynamic couples therapy looks beneath the immediate conflict to consider what may be taking place within and between partners. Each person brings a history of relationships, expectations, vulnerabilities, and ways of protecting themselves that can shape the life of the couple in ways neither may fully recognize.
Therapy offers an opportunity to become more curious about these patterns rather than simply repeating them. As each partner comes to experience themselves and the other in new ways, different ways of relating can become possible.
I work with couples across a range of identities and relationship configurations, including LGBTQ+ couples.
