I’m a licensed relationship therapist in Connecticut specializing in couples therapy and individual work for partners who feel stuck in painful communication cycles, attachment wounds, or recurring conflict. When conversations turn reactive, distant, or defensive, it’s often not about the surface argument — it’s about unmet needs, insecure attachment patterns, and old protective strategies playing out in real time. I help couples slow down these patterns, rebuild emotional safety, and develop secure, connected ways of relating so that your relationship feels like a source of strength rather than stress.
While communication matters, most relationship struggles aren’t about how you talk—they’re about unresolved emotional injuries, unmet needs, and protective patterns that developed over time. In couples therapy, we’ll explore how your relationship dynamic formed, what keeps it stuck, and how to shift it.
