Online Counseling for Couples who want to connect with more ease & less overwhelm

Feeling Disconnected Despite Your Love

You still care deeply for each other, but something’s missing. The connection you once shared doesn’t feel the same. While you still have fun together, it seems harder than ever to get through the serious stuff. Communication feels strained for even the small things and resolving issues seems impossible. It’s as if the bond you once had has weakened, leaving you both frustrated and unsure of how to move forward.

This Used to be Easier

You often look back on the early days of your relationship, the effortless fun, and the spark that seemed to light up every moment. You’d share an intimate glance, and everything would just feel right. But now, those carefree moments feel like a distant memory, and you can’t help but wonder where things went wrong. The relationship that once brought you joy no longer fills you with excitement.

Efforts to Fix It Haven’t Worked

You’ve tried, really tried, to make things better. You’ve approached your partner with patience and calm, even seeking out advice on improving communication. But no matter what you do, the conversations don’t seem to lead anywhere productive. Your partner shuts down, keeping their feelings to themselves, and you’re left feeling unheard and frustrated. You know they love you, but you can’t shake the feeling that something fundamental has changed.

Hesitant About Counseling, But Longing for Change

The idea of couples therapy feels daunting, and you’re unsure whether it can truly help. Yet, deep down, you long for a relationship where things feel easier, where you can reconnect emotionally and rediscover the closeness you once had. You’re searching for a therapist who can create a space for both of you to be seen—someone who will listen without judgment and guide you both toward a healthier, more fulfilling connection.

Reconnect and Revitalize Your Relationship

Hi, I’m B, and I’m here to help you rediscover the joy in your relationship. You’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone! I work with many couples who face similar challenges. Through our work together, you’ll begin to notice shifts in how you communicate and connect with each other.

We’ll take a closer look at your communication patterns, identify what’s working, and explore the areas where things may be getting stuck. Together, we’ll create a vision for the relationship you want! With your efforts & dedication we will move you from where you are now to deep & meaningful connection.

My clients and I work together on a weekly basis to ensure they get the support needed to build a relationship that enriches their lives. Using the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy, I guide couples in deepening their connection, fostering vulnerability and learning to support each other, especially during conflict.

I also incorporate techniques like movement, breathwork, and brainspotting to give you tools to practice between sessions. You can also expect homework assignments, both as a couple and individually, to help create the changes you desire. The feedback you provide about homework and sessions is crucial to helping us achieve your goals. Know that throughout our time together, we’ll celebrate your progress, challenge stuckness, and cheer on the brave steps you’re taking toward a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.

If you and your partner are ready to move closer towards a relationship you get excited to go home to then book your free discovery call with me.

-Past Client

You're repeating the same patterns in your relationship

Your talks are exhausting

You and your partner try to communicate but you both leave feeling exhausted and the issues you discussed just coming up later.

your Connection is Meh at best

The times of fun and carefree in your relationship are few and far between while seeming to take more effort to create. You miss the effortless joy that just being together used to bring.

you Feel more stuck

The more these issues continue the more they fester and you notice yourself responsing with more blame, judgement and loud silences.

What You really want from Couples Counseling

Deep Connection

You and your partner want to being able to share openly with one another being able to help each other face emotions and needs.

Effective communication

Both of you want to share in the emotional and invisible struggles of your relationship in a way that leaves you feeling closer to one another instead of alone.

Greater Intimacy

The two of you want to desire again not just sexually but mentally and emotionally as well. You want a to feel safe to show up fully.

What's keeping you from starting Couples Counseling?

You just need a little more time

We can tell ourselves that time heals all wounds but in truth, time in relationships just gives resentment space to grow. Making it less likely that you will have any energy or effort left over to “work things out” down the road.

I'm Smart so I should be able to figure it out

All the couple’s I’ve ever worked with are smart and often times great problem solvers! Despite these skills they still feel stuck. I want you to know that your intelligence doesn’t preclude you from benefiting from getting help with relational blocks. Few of us, are given the tools to navigate relationships in a healthy and sustainable way.

You've already spent too long trying to "fix" it

You don’t need more evidence that what you and your partner are trying isn’t working.

You’re here because you want to look at your partner and feel warm fuzzies. The truth is that whether you work with me or not the time you would spend in counseling is going to go by either way and there is nothing worse than remaining disconnected and alone from someone you are sharing a life with.

The good new is, this doesn’t have to continue this way. You’ve already done the research and it’s time to decide. Take the next step and give your relationship the healing it’s been hungry for.
