Therapy & Counseling for Couples
I provide online couples therapy and Discernment Counseling, tailored to each relationship’s specific goals and dynamics.
My integrative approach is grounded primarily in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping partners communicate and navigate conflict more effectively, rebuild a meaningful connection, or separate with clarity and care.
Many modern relationships carry heavy demands. On the one hand, as individuals we are often expected to be fully self-sufficient; on the other, many of us also long for a shared life or partnership with someone we care deeply about.
​
But while healthy independence and intimate partnerships can absolutely coexist — couples often struggle with the fear that one will diminish the other, or with the assumption that as partners they should blend together effortlessly.
Therapy for Couples Online
I work with couples of all backgrounds and configurations who want to improve the quality of their partnership. My approach is integrative and individualized, combining Acceptance and commitment Therapy (ACT) and select counseling and coaching elements.
The aim is to provide partners with an effective framework to better understand their patterns, broaden their perspectives, and develop more workable ways of relating meaningfully within the daily realities of contemporary life.​
A productive course of couples therapy typically consists of approximately six months of weekly 90-minute joint sessions, occasional individual sessions for each partner separately, and frequent communication and guided practice in-between.​​
Discernment Counseling is a brief, highly structured process for couples who are facing uncertainty about the future of their relationship. It is often helpful when one partner is leaning toward separation while the other hopes to preserve the relationship, or when both partners feel stuck and unsure how to move forward.
The goal is not to resolve longstanding relationship problems, but to help each partner arrive at a clearer and more confident decision about the next step. Together, we explore how the relationship reached this point, what options are realistically available, and whether it makes sense to continue as things are, move toward separation, or commit to a period of focused couples therapy. The process typically lasts between one and five sessions of ~120–180 minutes.
