COUPLES THERAPY IN SEATTLE, WA

For Couples Craving Deeper Connection & Communication

Who I Work With:

“How did we get here?”

You love each other, but lately, it feels like you’re speaking different languages. You keep finding yourselves on opposite sides of the same conversations. You want to be close, but something gets lost in translation. Whether it’s the dishes, the in-laws, or deciding where to live next, little things blow up or go cold fast. And afterward, you wonder: “Why can’t we just talk without it turning into something bigger?”

There’s so much under the surface… old trust issues, unresolved pain, or simply years of tiptoeing around deeper truths. You try to hold it together for your partner, your kids, your family. But it’s exhausting. Sometimes it feels like you’re holding the relationship on your own. Other times, it feels like you’re invisible.

Here’s what your relationship may look like right now:

Trying to express yourself but being misunderstood, or feeling like you have to choose between silence or a fight.

Miscommunication on Repeat

You flinch at certain tones, brace before hard conversations, or go numb just to get through the day.

Tension in Your Body

Emotional Distance

You’re in the same room, but you feel miles apart.

Wondering why things feel so hard when you both clearly care.

Resentment & Confusion

Questioning, “Is it me?” or “Why can’t we figure this out when we have so much good, too?”

Guilt & Shame

What Couples Therapy at Willow House may Look Like:

Therapy at Willow House isn’t about rehashing every detail or assigning blame. It’s a space to slow down, breathe, and make sense of what’s really going on beneath the surface (both within yourself and in your relationship).

Here’s what our time together may include:

Learning to pause, take a breath (or break) instead of jumping into conflict. We will learn what it feels like to attune to your emotional needs and create space to breathe.

Getting Grounded

Together, we’ll identify patterns shaped by past experiences and explore how they’re impacting your current relationship. That might look like processing moments when you felt unseen, misunderstood, or overwhelmed, without needing to explain or defend.

Untangling the Emotional Knots

I’ll help you both understand what your emotions are trying to signal; not as something to fix, but something to hear. You’ll learn how to express needs with more clarity and less reactivity.

Building Emotional Fluency

Whether that’s boundary-setting, communicating through conflict, or rebuilding trust, we’ll use real examples from your life to build skills that actually stick.

During your free 60-minute initial session, we’ll talk about what you’re looking for in therapy and get a feel for whether we’re a good fit. I’ll ask a little about your current struggles, work, and day-to-day life, but we don’t dive into deeper material just yet. From there, we’ll begin meeting weekly or biweekly. Couple’s sessions are 90 minutes. Through experience and client feedback, I have found this to be more effect than the typical 50-55 minute session.

If you are meeting virtually, you’ll likely see a dog or cat (or 2!) wander through in the background at times. Wether in person or online, this is a space where we laugh, cry, and sometimes share the small things that bring joy, whether that’s eating a snack during a session, showing me a funny TikTok or Instagram reel, or sharing pictures of your pets.

Therapy with me isn’t about ripping the band-aid off. It’s about creating a consistent safe haven where the parts of you that have been holding on so tightly can finally begin to rest.

Healing at Willow House:

“What might our relationship look like on the other side?”

Couples who commit to this work often tell me things start to feel different: steadier, lighter, and more connected.

Over time, you may notice that:

You communicate with clarity and kindness instead of criticism.

Repair happens faster, and resentment no longer lingers.

You notice you own triggers and emotions without taking them out on your partner.

You can bring up hard topics without fear of it spiraling into conflict.

You feel like a team again, not just in the daily logistics, but in your emotional connection.

You may still disagree, but now you know how to find your way back to each other. You can be honest without hurting one another. You can disagree and still feel close.

If this vision stirs something in you, that quiet mix of hope and hesitation - that’s a good sign. It means part of you still believes things can get better.

And I believe they can, too.
