“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” -Rumi

I offer couples therapy using Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO)—a deeply relational, trauma-informed model based on Internal Family Systems (IFS). This approach helps you understand and care for the parts of yourself that show up in relationship conflict—especially those shaped by past pain, shame, or fear.

In our work together, we’ll focus on recognizing defensive communication patterns and learning how to shift into more compassionate, connected ways of relating. I help partners slow things down, stay grounded in their own experience, and speak from the parts of themselves that truly long for connection—not just protection.

Together, we build your capacity for:

• Rupture and repair: Learning how to navigate conflict without losing connection, and how to come back together with intention and care.
• Differentiation: The ability to stay in touch with your own thoughts, feelings, and needs—while allowing space for your partner to do the same.
• Secure attachment: Developing emotional safety, trust, and the flexibility to balance closeness with independence—both in the relationship and within yourself.

Whether you’re healing old wounds or navigating present-day challenges, couples therapy can help you create a relationship that is more open, resilient, and aligned with your values.
