Trauma-Informed Support for Reconnection, Understanding, and Repair

Many couples seek therapy not because the relationship is broken, but because stress, life transitions, or unresolved experiences have begun to affect connection. You may care deeply for each other and still feel stuck in the same arguments, emotional distance, or patterns that feel hard to shift.

Couples therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface—without blame, pressure, or taking sides.

When Couples Often Reach Out

Couples I work with often describe feeling:

  • Stuck in repeating arguments or misunderstandings
  • Emotionally disconnected or distant
  • Caught in cycles where one partner shuts down while the other feels unheard
  • Overwhelmed by stress, responsibilities, or major life changes
  • A loss of closeness, safety, or feeling like a team

Sometimes the strain is recent. Other times, it has built quietly over time. Often, individual anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, or identity stress begins to show up between partners, even when neither person intends it.

From the inside, it can feel confusing and discouraging—especially when you want things to feel better but do not know how to reach each other without things escalating or shutting down.

My Approach to Couples Therapy

Couples therapy with me is trauma-informed, integrative, and collaborative. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, we work to understand the patterns and cycles that keep pulling you into the same moments of disconnection.

At the center of this work is the understanding that two nervous systems are trying to feel safe at the same time.

Together, we focus on:

  • Slowing down reactive cycles
  • Increasing emotional safety and regulation
  • Understanding how past experiences shape present responses
  • Supporting clearer communication without blame
  • Rebuilding trust, connection, and shared meaning

This approach honors emotional, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of your relationship—not just surface behaviors.

What Couples Therapy Can Help With

Couples therapy may support you if you are navigating:

  • Anxiety or stress impacting the relationship
  • Trauma or past experiences affecting closeness
  • Grief, loss, or major life transitions
  • Burnout, overwhelm, or emotional withdrawal
  • Identity, cultural, or faith-based differences
  • Difficulty repairing after conflict

You do not need to be in crisis to begin couples therapy. Many couples come in simply wanting to feel more connected, understood, and aligned again.

What This Space Is (and Is Not)

This space is:

  • Calm, steady, and respectful
  • Focused on understanding patterns rather than assigning blame
  • Grounded in emotional safety and pacing
  • Supportive of each partner’s voice and experience

This space is not:

  • About taking sides
  • About forcing communication before safety is established
  • About quick fixes or rigid formulas
  • About pressuring either partner to change faster than feels safe

Progress happens through understanding, not urgency.
