Couple’s Therapy

An intentional space to move through the stuck moments and find your way back to each other

I work with couples navigating the compounding stress of reproductive and perinatal changes. Often, these experiences create an invisible wall between partners where one feels entirely isolated in their changing body, the other feels helpless in their role as supporter, and both are running on empty. If you find yourselves here, I want you to know it’s okay to feel stuck - and it doesn’t have to stay this way.

We will begin at a pace that feels comfortable for both of you. I will help you step out of the exhausting cycles of frustration and withdrawal that often lead to lashing out or shutting down. I will provide strategies to help you better communicate with one another in these moments, so you can begin to look at the issue(s) you are experiencing as a team, rather than at each other as the problem. We will acknowledge the complex ways reproductive events have affected your relationship to help you process what is below the surface, feel more aligned in decision-making, and regain the intimacy that brought you together in the first place.

Benefits of couple’s therapy

  • Bridge the Empathy Gap: Get help translating your emotional languages so that differing coping mechanisms (like over-functioning vs. shutting down) bring you closer together rather than driving you apart

  • Co-Regulate Your Nervous Systems: Learn how to shift from a state of mutual “fight or flight” into a shared calm to help your relationship back into a safe space rather than an additional source of stress

  • Make Medical and Family Decisions: Create a neutral ground to untangle ethical, financial, and emotional values to ensure you are making aligned choices

  • Protect Intimacy and Connection: When your life becomes consumed by ovulation tracking, treatment protocols, or feeding schedules, romance and play are usually the first things to die; get support separating your core partnership from your roles as patients or parents

  • Prevent or Address Postpartum Resentment: The invisible load of early parenthood is when score-keeping often takes root. Learn how to address the unspoken expectations around division of labor, career shifts, and personal boundaries to strengthen your family’s foundation from the start
