Do you take insurance?

No, I don’t accept insurance. This is because many insurance providers require a mental health diagnosis, which isn’t always appropriate or necessary for couples therapy. Additionally, insurance may limit the type of work we can do together or the number of sessions allowed. By not working through insurance, I can offer a fully personalized approach focused on your goals without restrictions.

How long does couples therapy take?

Based on research, most couples see significant progress with 10 consecutive sessions, followed by monthly maintenance sessions to sustain and deepen the changes. This structure allows us to address core issues effectively while creating space for ongoing growth and support.

What should we expect in our sessions?

Our sessions will be highly interactive and tailored to your relationship’s specific needs. We’ll identify and work through the patterns causing disconnection, practice new ways of interacting, and build tools for emotional regulation and effective communication. You can expect a mix of discussion, experiential exercises, and actionable strategies to take home and use right away.

What if only one of us is ready for therapy?

It’s common for one partner to feel more ready than the other. If you’re feeling uncertain, I encourage you to come to an initial session together and see what the process is like. Often, that first experience helps ease concerns and sets a positive tone for the work ahead.

Can couples therapy really help us?

Yes! Research shows that approaches like PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) are highly effective for improving communication, resolving conflict, and rebuilding trust. The key is a willingness to commit to the process and apply what you learn in your daily interactions.

Do we have to rehash every fight?

No, couples therapy isn’t about going over every argument in detail. Instead, we’ll look at the underlying patterns that fuel conflict and work to change those. The goal is to create a stronger, more secure foundation, so future disagreements don’t derail your connection.

What if we’re considering separation?

Couples therapy can be helpful even if you’re unsure about the future of your relationship. It’s a space to explore your options, understand what’s driving disconnection, and gain clarity about the best path forward—whether that means staying together or parting ways with respect and understanding.

How can we get the most out of couples therapy?

The most successful couples come to therapy with openness and a commitment to growth. Between sessions, practicing what we work on and reflecting on insights will help you see real, lasting progress.
