COMMUNICATION
for COUPLES
in dallas
Marriage counseling, couples counseling, and relationship counseling.
You can’t seem to talk about what really matters without it turning into a fight. Or worse, you’ve stopped even trying. You feel like you're walking on eggshells, avoiding and then replaying the same arguments, or just going through the motions like roommates.
If communication in your relationship feels tense, avoidant, or shut down, you're not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck. I help many successful, high-functioning couples recover from struggling behind the scenes with quiet disconnection.
Together, we’ll work on how to:
​​​
-
Break out of reactive cycles and actually hear each other again
-
Communicate clearly without defensiveness, criticism, or shutdown
-
Rebuild emotional intimacy and trust after years of miscommunication
-
Handle hard conversations without spiraling into conflict
-
Repair the "roommate dynamic" and reconnect as partners
Relationship conflict often arises from thinking that we understand what the other person is saying, but so often you'll end up just talking past one another, getting lost in your own shame, and feeling misunderstood. Most couples wait far too long to get support, until after it's too late. But you don’t need to be in crisis to ask for help -- you just have to be ready for something better.​
​Therapy for Communication Issues in High-Functioning Couples
Serving the communities of Richardson, Plano, Allen, McKinney, and North Dallas, my practice understands the unique pressures faced by high-achieving couples. Many of the couples I work with are professionals, parents, and entrepreneurs who are used to solving problems, but feel lost when it comes to fixing what's going wrong in their relationship. They’re smart, motivated, and successful on the outside, but emotionally exhausted on the inside. I offer a confidential space to explore and address the nuances of your relationship to help you not only talk better, but feel closer, too. ​​​​

In couples therapy, I can teach both your partner and you how to listen and respond to one another more effectively. My approach is direct and emotionally attuned: We’ll get to the root of what’s not working, beyond the surface-level tension, and into the deeper patterns underneath so you can break out of what's keeping you stuck. Not only can you both feel honored and understood, but you can also help each other get what you need. ​​

If you’re looking for a couples therapist who understands successful, overwhelmed professionals and who knows how to help you move forward, I’d love to work with you. Let's get you both back on the same page of your love story.
