Couples Therapy In-Person in Easton & Online Across Maryland

Reconnect & cherish one another.

More than anything, you long to feel deeply known by and connected to your partner. Instead, you often end up feeling misunderstood.

Conversations often spiral into conflict, leaving you feeling unheard and unseen.

It hasn’t always been like this, but at this point you can’t deny that there’s a deeper issue causing all of these little tiffs. You haven’t felt emotionally satisfied in the relationship in a long time, and it often feels like the two of you are more like roommates than lovers or life partners. If you have children, this dynamic is probably amplified by all the things you have to do to take care of them— leaving no time to focus on your romantic relationship.

Maybe you’ve tried reading books or listening to podcasts about how to have a better partnership, but haven’t been able to use anything you’ve learned because you’re too afraid to rock the boat. So, you both go on pretending everything’s fine, living parallel but disconnected lives. Meanwhile, a larger storm—one that could potentially sink you—seems to be brewing on the horizon.

Have you noticed…

  • Hurt or resentment from past arguments spilling over into new ones?

  • Trouble opening up about feelings, or containing intense emotions?

  • Different approaches to or paces in life, which causes disagreements over basic things?

  • Insecurity or lack of trust in the relationship, always assuming the worst about one another?

MY approach

Let's practice prioritizing your relationship over your reactions.

Relationships rarely die because of one wound, but rather because of a thousand tiny cuts that get ignored until the life has drained out of your connection. My goal as your therapist is to help you and your partner learn to treat and heal these tiny cuts when they happen (because they will) so that things don’t escalate.

The main method I use to do this is called Relational Life Therapy. This approach can help each of you understand how you show up in your relationship dynamic—and how to prioritize the well-being of the relationship over the knee-jerk emotions that come up in times of conflict or upset. It helps foster mutual respect and deeper connection. When you’re in a partnership, you’re in the same soup—and you both have to eat it. So, you want to make sure you’re putting in the best ingredients—love, generosity, integrity—so that the outcome is one that’s delicious for both of you.

In this work, I'll be there to listen, give feedback, bring insight, teach strategies, and celebrate progress. I'll help you discover the behaviors that nurture a relationship where each of you gets what you want and need.

FAQs

  • The duration of couples therapy varies with the issues at hand and the commitment of both partners. While some couples see positive changes in a few sessions, lasting improvement often requires sustained effort. In Easton or online, I recommend committing to weekly or biweekly sessions for at least 6 months.

  • Couples therapy can be effective for many couples, especially when both partners are motivated to work on their relationship and open to making changes. Success looks different for everyone, so we’ll define what success would look like for you and your partner to ensure we’re working toward the same goals.

  • Couples therapy may not be suitable in certain situations, such as when one or both partners are unwilling to participate, when there are issues of abuse or violence within the relationship, when there is an active affair, or untreated active substance use issues. In these cases, individual therapy or other forms of support may be more appropriate to ensure safety and well-being.

  • This type of therapy is most effective when both partners are open to showing up and participating. However, in individual therapy, I can help you understand yourself and your relationship better, and can give you some tools to navigate the challenges you’re facing. I work with individuals and would be happy to discuss your options to see if we’d be a good fit. Reach out for a consultation and I can answer any questions you may have.
