Strengthening relationships without sidelining careers
How we help
High-pressure careers complicate relationships. We focus on what's happening right now—stress points, patterns, and recurring conflicts—and use clear, honest communication to iterate toward healthier dynamics that withstand demanding schedules.
Who we help
We work with couples facing:
- Communication breakdowns at home or work
- Recurring conflicts that feel impossible to resolve
- Balancing one or two high-demand careers
- Rebuilding trust after a breach or significant challenge
- Making informed decisions about their future together
Whether you're dual-career partners managing competing priorities, dealing with work-related stress that spills into your relationship, or navigating major transitions together, we're here to help.

FAQ
What types of relationship issues do you help with?
We work with couples facing a wide range of challenges, from communication breakdowns and trust issues to major life transitions and work-life balance struggles. Whether you're dealing with conflict patterns, feeling disconnected, or navigating career pressures that impact your relationship, we're here to help.
Do both partners need to attend every session?
While couples therapy is most effective when both partners participate, we understand that scheduling and commitment levels can vary. We work with whatever arrangement works best for your relationship, and individual sessions may be incorporated as needed.
How long does couples counseling typically take?
The length of couples therapy varies significantly based on your specific goals and challenges. Some couples see meaningful progress in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll work together to determine what makes sense for your relationship.
What if my partner is reluctant to try therapy?
It's common for one partner to be more hesitant about therapy. We understand this dynamic and can help you navigate how to approach the conversation. Sometimes starting with individual sessions can help you develop strategies for encouraging your partner's participation.
Do you offer teletherapy for couples?
Yes, we offer virtual sessions for couples who prefer the convenience of meeting from home or have scheduling constraints. Many couples find teletherapy just as effective as in-person sessions, especially for communication-focused work.
What should we expect in our first session?
Your first session focuses on understanding your relationship dynamics, individual perspectives, and shared goals. We'll explore what brought you to therapy and begin mapping out how we can work together to strengthen your relationship. It's a collaborative conversation, not an evaluation.
