I use a specific approach — Sacred Witnessing — with couples and dyads who want to deepen their connection, improve communication, and build psychological safety in their relationship. This approach combines psycheducation, guided role play, and skill-building using a trauma- and compassion-informed communication model designed to foster interpersonal attunement, self-regulation, and mutual support.

In Sacred Witnessing sessions, I engage in compassionate, therapeutic inquiry with one partner while coaching the other in active listening, self-regulation, and holding safe space for their partner. The goal of this practice is to support each person become a steady, supportive presence so their partner can share vulnerably and feel seen, heard, and understood — and more readily connected.

Sessions typically follow a rhythm: a joint session, followed by two Sacred Witnessing sessions (one for each partner), and then repeat.

Many couples come to this work feeling distant, stuck in unhelpful narratives, and burdened by past experiences of ineffective communication. Sacred Witnessing helps shift the focus from who's right or wrong to how partners can reconnect with care, trust, and emotional responsibility. Over time, couples hones skills to navigate challenges and tender moments together.

This approach to couples therapy is not suitable for couples in crisis or those experiencing emotional volatility, projection, different realities, or adversarial dynamics. Sacred Witnessing requires a foundation of mutual respect, emotional safety, and a shared commitment to accountability and repair.

The rate for couples therapy is $140 for 55-minute session.
Beginning in early 2026, I will accept OHP and other insurance plans (details to be determined).
