Therapy for Couples
& Families

This offering is for the partners who have become "roommates"; the families caught in the crossfire of multigenerational patterns; the homes that have become a place of sharp words or heavy silences.

Whether you are navigating the aftermath of a crisis or slowly untangling years of resentment, you are likely mourning the distance between the love you know is possible and the reality of how far apart you feel.

A relationship is a delicate dance between two nervous systems. When you feel disconnected, your body instinctively enters a survival mode that makes true intimacy feel impossible. I am not here to simply patch the cracks in how you speak. I am here to get to help you get to the heart of the matter, and rebuild the very foundation of your life together.

THROUGH OUR WORK TOGETHER, WE FOCUS ON:

  • Honoring your shared Story

    We gently peel back the layers of how you have learned to endure conflict to find the genuine, caring people underneath who are longing to be seen and held.

  • Settling the System Together

    Using somatic awareness, you’ll move from a state of hyper-vigilance into a calm, grounded presence, where you finally feel safe enough to let down your guard.

  • Reclaiming "Us" in your Relationship

    We move away from the exhaustion of "who is right" toward a place of mutual internal authority. Here, you learn to navigate life’ as team, not adverseries.

  • Healing the Roots

    We untangle the childhood baggage that sits at the dinner table with you, helping you understand each other’s triggers with compassion instead of defensiveness.

  • True Belonging

    We move past the surface level noise to the raw, honest needs underneath. You’ll learn how to take up space in the relationship again, voicing your needs without fear.

  • The Shared Exhale

    You will finally feel the relief of lowering the shield around your heart, so that you can become emotionally present, and a ‘safe space’ for each other’s truth.

Theresa

Relationships are the source of both our pain, and our healing.

When I work with couples and families, I am not just helping two people get along better; I am often untangling threads of hurt that go back generations, and can in turn heal generations to come.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Family Systems, we will explore the blueprints of attachment and multigenerational echoes that exist in your home. I am here to help you break the cycles of hurt, navigate the complexities of intimacy with an open heart, and find your way back to love and belonging.

I believe deeply in this work because when one couple learns to communicate with vulnerability, or one family breaks a cycle of silence, the healing ripples outward, across homes and generations.

CLIENT RELFECTIONS

  • "We are now partners, not just two survivors in the same house."

    "We didn't realize how much of our individual childhood trauma was sitting at the dinner table with us every night. I was shutting down to stay safe; he was getting loud to be heard. You didn't take sides, you helped us understand the 'why' behind our reactions. You helped us unpack the baggage we brought into the relationship so we could stop tripping over it."

  • "It made me feel like I'm not a broken patient, just a human on a hard road."

    “Thank you for not just nodding and taking notes. Thank you for being a real human being in the room with me. When you shared that small piece of your own story, I felt less alone, it normalized my experience. It made me feel like I wasn't a broken patient, but just a human on a hard road."

    Adult

  • "You helped us break the silence, voice our needs, and be seen."

     "We had drifted so far apart that we felt like strangers. We were 'fitting in' to the routine of family life, but we didn't feel like we belonged to each other anymore. You helped us break the silence, and take up space in the relationship again. We stopped being roommates who manage a household and started being a couple again."
