When two people struggle in a relationship, the conflict on the surface is rarely the whole story. From a psychodynamic perspective, each partner carries into the relationship a history of earlier attachments, unspoken needs, and sensitivities formed long before they ever met. These often collide in ways neither person fully understands. In our work together, I help both of you slow down and recognize what is really being communicated beneath the friction, so that you can begin to respond to each other rather than to ghosts from the past.

From an existentialist perspective, a couple is the meeting of two separate people, each their own freedom, perspective, and way of facing life's uncertainties. True intimacy asks us to encounter our partner as they genuinely are, not as we wish or fear them to be. Much of the distance couples feel comes from avoiding the honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversations that this kind of encounter requires. I work to create a space where both of you can speak and be heard fully, where differences can be tolerated, and where you can rebuild trust by choosing, deliberately and openly, what you want to create together.
