How Can Couples Therapy in Seattle Help?

Let's talk

My Approach to Couples Therapy

Working with me isn’t about rushing insight or forcing hard conversations before you’re ready. Couples therapy moves at a pace that feels supportive for both of you.

My focus is the relationship itself—not taking sides or deciding who’s right or wrong. I hold the relationship as the client, while staying attuned to each partner’s experience. That means both of you matter, and neither of you is the problem.

We may explore tender or painful parts of your shared history. If things feel intense, we slow down. If one of you needs a pause, we take one. Nothing is forced, and no one is pushed past their capacity.

I’m warm, but I’m also direct. If patterns are keeping you stuck, I’ll name them. If something is getting in the way of connection, we’ll look at it together—with care, honesty, and respect for both partners.

This work helps you practice closeness, honesty, and repair in real time so your relationship can feel safer and more secure outside of sessions, too.

Couples will learn how to communicate clearly without escalation, understand the patterns driving conflict, repair after disagreements, and rebuild trust and emotional intimacy in ways that last beyond the therapy room.

Reach out if this sounds like a good fit for you and your partner. I’d be happy to connect!

Book a Free Consultation

Ready to invest in yourself? Here’s how to begin.

1. Start with a free 20 minute phone call or video chat

We’ll explore your goal for therapy and determine if my style is the right fit for you.

2. Scheduling the first session

Once we decide to move forward, we select a day and time to meet consistently. Most clients start off with weekly therapy sessions and then over time graduate to biweekly, monthly, and so forth. Through my client portal, I’ll send over all questionnaires and consent documents that you complete before our first intake session — so we don’t waste time.

3. Get started & reach new depths

As we get to know each other, we will develop a collaborative approach for you! I look forward to watching you make strides in your life!

Therapy Approaches

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is really just learning to pay attention to what’s happening inside and around you, in real time, without piling up the criticism. It’s the practice of noticing your thoughts and feelings with curiosity rather than judgment, so you can respond with clarity instead of reacting on autopilot.
Attachment science

Attachment science explores how the relationships we first relied on create a blueprint for how we connect, cope, and feel safe. Those early bonds influence how we view ourselves and how we show up in relationships throughout our lives.
Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems sees your inner world as made up of different “parts,” each with its own emotions, roles, and intentions. When you get to know these parts with compassion, the inner conflict softens and you create more space for clarity, peace, and healing.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

KAP in a therapeutic setting can help soften rigid patterns, open new perspectives, and make emotional healing more accessible. Paired with compassionate guidance and integration work, it can create a safe inner space for deeper insight, release, and meaningful change.
Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy works with the body because healing isn’t just a mindset shift, it’s a nervous system shift. As your system learns to regulate, reactions soften, emotions feel more manageable, and change happens more naturally.
