Couples counseling.

"Ay me! For aught that I could ever read, could ever hear by tale or history, the course of true love never did run smooth."

- Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Conflicts in relationships can feel like a repeating cycle – marked by misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and unspoken expectations. You may not even know exactly how things reached this point. And finding a way out can feel all the more difficult.

What echoes beneath the surface

Often, the roots of such distress lie not only in how we communicate, but in deeper, unconscious layers. Unmet emotional needs, past wounds, and entrenched patterns can weigh heavily on a relationship – even when the desire for closeness and connection is there. Couples counseling is not just about talking to each other. It's about gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, your partner, and the dynamics at play: What touches you? What’s
missing? What protects? When emotional needs are seen and taken seriously, space can open for genuine change – and for new ways of bonding.

Before the silence grows too loud

Many couples don’t seek support until conflicts have become entrenched, old wounds have hardened, and a sense of disconnection has taken root. By then, the distance between them can feel overwhelming — and the hope that things might change often feels out of reach. Of course, I also work with couples in those difficult moments.  But I want to encourage a different approach. Couples counseling can be valuable long before things fall apart:

when everyday life still works, but something vital feels missing.

Or when there’s a sense that a new season is beginning, and things need to be reshaped — as partners, as parents, as people

I believe it’s worth starting early. Because emotional patterns settle in quietly. Because relationships are living systems that need tending. And because sometimes, we only truly begin to talk when we allow ourselves to see each other anew — before the space between us has grown too wide.
