Couples Therapy | New York & Texas

Relationships Are Complex

Even the strongest ones can get stuck, whether it’s about communication, trust, intimacy, or feeling like you’re no longer on the same team. Couples therapy isn’t about pointing fingers or deciding who’s right. It’s about working together to understand what’s getting in the way of connection and learning how to move forward, together.

Let's Get You Back on the Same Team

When couples feel stuck, the tension often becomes you vs. me. In couples therapy, we help shift that to us vs. the problem. You’re not enemies—you’re a team that’s gotten off track. Therapy gives you the space, structure, and tools to reconnect.

We’ll help you:
  • Learn how to communicate in ways that build trust instead of defensiveness
  • Get to the root of recurring arguments and misunderstandings
  • Break cycles of conflict and move toward more mindful connection
  • Understand what’s underneath the hurt, anger or distance
  • Rebuild intimacy, emotional safety and mutual respect


Whether you're questioning the future or just want to feel close again, couples therapy can help you reconnect and rediscover what’s possible.

What to Expect in Couples Therapy

Space for Each of You
We’re here to support the relationship, not take sides. Each partner will have room to speak honestly and feel heard without blame or shame.

Focus on Communication
Many couples come in saying, “We just don’t know how to talk anymore.” We’ll help you understand your interactions and communication, identify what’s working (and what’s not) and build healthier ways to talk through conflict and express needs.

Deeper Understanding of the Patterns
In couples therapy, we’ll look beyond surface-level conflict to understand the emotional dynamics shaping your relationship—what you each need, what feels missing and what hurts.

Practical Support for Daily Connection
We don’t just talk, we help you practice. You’ll leave sessions with strategies you can use at home to improve communication, navigate conflicts and repair your connection.

  • Struggling to communicate without it turning into a fight
  • Dealing with a betrayal or breakdown in trust
  • Loss of intimacy or sexual disconnection
  • Trust issues or recovering from infidelity
  • Navigating parenting stress, family conflict or life transitions (moving, job changes, loss)
  • Differences in values, goals, or priorities
  • Feeling more like roommates than partners
  • Wanting help deciding whether to stay or separate
  • Wanting to improve their relationship but unsure where to begin


Every relationship is different. Some couples seek therapy early, to build a strong foundation (e.g., premarital counseling). Others come after months—or years—of feeling distant, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. Wherever you are in your relationship, we’ll meet you there.

Common challenges we help couples navigate include:

What Brings Partners to Couples Therapy

No matter what’s brought you here, couples therapy is a space where both of you can be heard, understood and supported.

Couples Therapy is an Investment in Your Relationship

Therapy is not about “fixing” your partner—it’s about learning how to show up differently for yourself and each other. We’ll work collaboratively to build understanding, shift patterns and help you move towards your goals together.

You deserve to feel like you're on the same team again.
