Goals of Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is designed to help both partners understand what’s getting in the way and causing unhealthy cycles of communication while learning new ways to show up for each other.
In couples therapy we focus on:
Strengthening emotional connection
Improving communication patterns that lead to conflict
Restoring intimacy and closeness
Creating a shared path forward that feels good for both partners
The goal isn’t only fewer arguments or less conflict, but a relationship that feels safe, supportive, and fulfilling.
Because you both deserve a relationship where you feel understood, valued, and connected.
Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy + PTSD Couples Therapy Online
Couples Therapy Approach
I use Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT),
along with trauma-informed strategies to help you both understand what’s behind disconnection and build healthier ways of communicating and supporting each other.
Sessions are structured and active, with tools you’ll practice between sessions so progress continues at home. Most couples begin noticing improvements within a few weeks, and treatment typically lasts 10–20 sessions, depending on your goals.

You Deserve a Relationship
Where You Feel Understood and Supported
IBCT helps couples move from stuck patterns to shared understanding, creating space for healing, resilience, and lasting connection. Below is what to expect:
Assessment Phase
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your relationship history, strengths, challenges, and goals. This includes joint and individual sessions for each partner.
Feedback and Case Formulation
You’ll receive a personalized summary of what’s driving distress in the relationship, along with a clear plan for how therapy will help. We focus on patterns—not blame—and build insight into how each partner’s behavior and emotional needs interact.
Therapy focuses on two key strategies:
+ Acceptance-based work to foster empathy, emotional attunement, and deeper understanding.
+ Behavioral change strategies to improve communication, reduce conflict, and increase positive connection.
Active Treatment
Ongoing Refinement
As therapy progresses, we adapt the approach based on your goals, feedback, and what’s working—always with a focus on measurable change and meaningful growth.

Who It’s For
This service is designed for couples who are feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by the impact of trauma, stress, or major life transitions. I work with diverse couples, including partners where one or both individuals are trauma survivors, first responders, healthcare providers, or military personnel and veterans navigating PTSD.
However, if you’re working with me individually, I’m not able to provide couples therapy to you and your partner. This helps protect the integrity of the therapeutic relationship and avoid potential bias—ensuring that care remains ethical, balanced, and effective for everyone involved.
