Couples

Relationships thrive on connection, trust, and understanding—but even the strongest partnerships face challenges. My approach to couple therapy is grounded in attachment theory, recognizing that the way we bond with our partners shapes how we navigate conflict, communicate our needs, and experience intimacy. I've included a short video in the Resources section that illustrates how attachment styles operate in couples.

The way we learned to connect with our caregivers as children becomes the blueprint for how we connect with our partners as adults. As infants, we developed strategies to feel safe and loved—some of us learned that our caregivers were reliably there for us, while others learned that love was unpredictable, conditional, or even unsafe. These early experiences shape whether we find it easy to trust and communicate openly, or whether we worry about being abandoned, pull away when things get intense, or swing between wanting closeness and fearing it.

The good news is that these patterns aren't fixed. Understanding your attachment patterns helps explain why certain conflicts keep repeating and why you react the way you do when you're hurt. Through therapy and within a healthy relationship, you can develop a more secure way of relating that isn't dependent on your early experiences.

In our work together, we'll explore the attachment patterns that influence your relationship dynamics. Whether you're dealing with recurring conflicts, feeling disconnected, or struggling to communicate effectively, we'll create a safe space to understand the deeper emotions and needs driving these patterns. My goal is to help you both feel seen, heard, and secure within your relationship.
