Rebuilding connection, one conversation at a time

Relationships are complicated, and every great duo has its challenges. Even when there’s love, there can be misunderstanding, distance, or a sense that you’re no longer on the same team. Couples therapy can help you rebuild your alliance and face the world side by side.

This is a space to slow down, get curious together, and begin building a stronger foundation that reflects who you are as individuals and what you want to create together. Whether you’re dating, married, co-parenting, opening your relationship, or somewhere in between, I work with all types of partnerships. That includes queer and trans couples, neurodiverse pairings, and straight couples navigating tough transitions. In my Austin-based therapy practice, I offer support that meets you where you are, whether you’re in crisis or simply looking to reconnect.

Common reasons couples come to therapy

Every couple has their own story. These are some of the challenges I frequently help clients navigate together:

  • Communication breakdowns, frequent arguments, or feeling unheard
  • Life transitions that shake up your routine or connection
  • Trust ruptures or betrayals
  • Differences in needs, goals, or values
  • Navigating open or polyamorous relationships
  • Parenting stress, blended family challenges, or caregiving dynamics
  • Feeling more like roommates than partners
  • Wanting to deepen intimacy or reignite closeness

Some couples come to therapy in crisis. Others come to strengthen what’s already working. There’s no wrong time to invest in your relationship.

What does couples therapy look like?

I’ll work with both of you to understand the patterns at play, the ways you react, protect, pursue, withdraw, or misread each other, and help you shift into a more connected way of relating. We’ll explore what’s underneath the arguments and what each of you truly needs to feel seen, respected, and loved.

This isn’t about assigning blame or picking sides. It’s about creating a space where both of you can show up with honesty and curiosity.

Sessions are collaborative, structured when needed, and always grounded in compassion. I’ll offer feedback, tools, and reflections to help you practice new ways of communicating and relating, both in and out of session.

Affirming therapy for all partnerships

As a nonbinary therapist in Austin, I bring experience working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients, but my work isn’t limited to any one type of relationship.

I’ve supported long-term married couples, creative partnerships, co-parents, and brand-new couples who want to build a strong start.

If you live in the Austin area or anywhere in Texas, we can work together in person or virtually.

Couples therapy is a space to remember why you chose each other, what’s worth fighting for, and how to move forward with more clarity and care.
