Couples Therapy. Cheaper than Separate Houses. Remember when you first got married or committed to your partner and thought you’d be blissfully happy forever? Fast-forward. The kids are growing up, your knees make noises they didn’t used to, and connecting with your partner is like an exercise in advanced diplomacy. Maybe you question the roles you’ve played for years. Maybe one of you wants a reinvention while the other just wants to binge Succession in peace. Maybe things are okay-ish, but you’d prefer not to spend the next decade politely irritating each other. You don't need a crisis to want more from your relationship. The Terms and Conditions Have Changed. People change. Relationships must change too. Unfortunately, nobody hands you an updated instruction manual. I help couples understand what's underneath the same old arguments and let go of painful patterns that no longer work. Less blame, more understanding. And maybe you'll finally retire that argument you've been having about the dishes since 2009. Experienced Human. Introductory Pricing. My therapy career may be young, but I'm not. With me you get half a century of life experience at intern-level pricing. I've raised kids, navigated relationship ups and downs, and learned that life changes us—whether we like it or not. In addition to couples (both young and old), I love working with individuals; especially women in midlife. I currently practice under the supervision of Amanda Pikala, MA, LMFT.
