Services

Common areas of focus include:

• Communication challenges and recurring conflicts

• Emotional disconnection and loss of intimacy

• Affair recovery and rebuilding trust

• Navigating major life transitions (marriage, parenthood, relocation, career shifts)

• Premarital counseling for couples preparing for lifelong commitment

• Balancing high-achieving careers with relationship health

Sessions follow a structured, research-based model using either Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy, or Functional Analytic Psychotherapy to help couples understand their patterns, improve communication, and create meaningful change.

Many psychological conditions, such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, and perinatal depression, affect not just the individual but also their partner and the overall relationship dynamic. Couple-based interventions help partners work together to reduce distress, improve communication, and strengthen emotional connection while supporting individual recovery.

Common Areas of Focus

• The impact of depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or eating disorders on the relationship

• Reducing patterns of withdrawal, avoidance, or excessive reassurance

• Strengthening emotional connection and partner support in managing symptoms

• Addressing conflict patterns that contribute to or worsen psychological distress

• Navigating relational challenges tied to perinatal depression and postpartum adjustments

• Supporting healthy coping strategies without reinforcing unhelpful behaviors

Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy (CBCT) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that integrates cognitive-behavioral principles into couple therapy to address both individual psychopathology and relationship dynamics. By involving both partners, CBCT helps couples modify unhelpful patterns, improve communication, and build a more supportive and connected relationship that facilitates recovery.

Therapy does not always require long-term treatment. I offer structured, short-term interventions for couples and individuals who want to address challenges early or prevent issues from escalating.

These services are designed for:

• Couples looking to strengthen their relationship before conflict becomes entrenched

• Premarital counseling to lay a strong foundation before marriage

• Addressing early signs of communication difficulties or emotional distance

• Couples seeking guidance on navigating life transitions before they cause strain

• Short-term, skills-based work for improving stress management, conflict resolution, or emotional regulation

These interventions are structured and focused, typically spanning a limited number of sessions, depending on the needs of the couple or individual.
