Couples Counseling
For couples who want more- do it with intention.
In-person counseling in Boulder, Colorado Online throughout Colorado
This is an opportunity for realignment, a relationship tune-up, reconnection, and repair. Couples therapy gives you a place to slow down, understand what happens between you, and practice relating in a new way.
The goal is to make the pattern visible, create room for a different response, and build a relationship that feels more like the one you want to inhabit.

The process
What a first couples therapy session can look like
Couples therapy can be a fit when you want to strengthen a relationship, understand recurring conflict, repair after a rupture, or approach a shared transition with more intention. You do not need to wait for a crisis or arrive already agreeing on what the problem is. I think of a first session like starting a puzzle: we find the edge pieces and get an outline before trying to fit everything together.
We will talk about what brings you in, who you are, what you want from therapy, and some of the important history and patterns that shape the present. I begin mapping attachment histories, conflict cycles, and lifelong patterns while touching on topics we may return to in more depth later. Couples usually have a one-on-one session next, giving each partner space to talk further about family history and personal details.
From there, I build a personalized working map of the relationship with your collaboration and participation. We notice the cycle, develop understanding and compassion for how it formed, experiment with more intentional responses, and practice until new patterns feel more natural. Sessions may include therapeutic exercises as well as conversation, and you can expect regular practice to work on between sessions. I bring ideas, offer honest feedback, and may challenge a familiar perspective; the focus can still shift to what feels most important that day. The process is active and adaptable, not a single method applied to every couple.
With intention
You do not have to wait until your breaking point.
Couples counseling can be preventative, developmental, and deeply rewarding—not exclusively a last resort. If you feel that there is room for improvement, strengthening, or greater alignment, this work is for you. I especially enjoy working with couples who are willing to look honestly at their own patterns, stay curious, and try something new.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to be in crisis to start couples therapy?
No. Couples often begin because they want to strengthen a relationship, prepare for a transition, or become more intentional before a pattern becomes entrenched. Couples in a crisis have space for work here too. Reach out to see if it’s the right fit.
Can couples therapy help if we do not fight very much?
Yes. Couples therapy is a great option when you notice patterns or challenges emerging that you want to address intentionally. You may be early in a relationship or getting ready to make a meaningful commitment to the relationship and would like a space to strengthen your bond and move forward thoughtfully. You may also experience distance, avoidance, uncertainty, and difficulty talking about needs-- this can be just as important to explore as frequent conflict.
Do you offer premarital/pre-commitment counseling?
Yes. Premarital counseling can help you have the conversations, develop the skills, and create the relationship culture you want before the stakes feel high. Life transitions together are a wonderful time to move with intention.
Can couples counseling be done online?
Yes. I offer secure telehealth couples counseling to clients located throughout Colorado, as well as in-person sessions in Boulder.
