About

I believe all behaviors make sense if we seek to understand the context in which they were created. Through this lens, I work with couples who feel stuck in a cycle in which one of you reaches for closeness and the other pulls away. You both want connection but often end up feeling unseen and lonely. You may notice that conversations escalate quickly or shut down entirely. You talk about the same issues again and again, yet the real hurt underneath never quite gets touched. One of you may feel like you’re asking for too much, while the other feels overwhelmed, pressured, or never quite enough.
