Structured Couples Therapy for Lasting Change
Structured 8–10 week couples therapy designed to rebuild communication, emotional safety, and connection.
I specialize exclusively in couples therapy for high-functioning partners who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or emotionally distant despite still deeply caring for one another.
Through my structured 8-week Intimacy Reset framework, I help couples rebuild communication, emotional safety, conflict repair, and connection in a clear, results-oriented way. My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based relationship work including the Gottman Method and CBT.
I offer virtual couples therapy across Oregon and in-person sessions in Bend on Saturdays.
How Intimacy Reset Works
Step 1: Individual Intake Sessions
Each partner begins with an individual session to explore relationship history, attachment patterns, and current areas of disconnection.
Step 2: Identify the Cycle of Disconnection
Together we identify the recurring conflict patterns keeping you stuck — including triggers, emotional responses, communication breakdowns, and unmet needs.
Step 3: Rebuild Communication + Emotional Safety
Using structured interventions and evidence-based relationship tools, couples learn healthier ways to communicate, repair conflict, and reconnect emotionally.
Step 4: Build Sustainable Connection
The final phase focuses on sustainable relationship rituals, repair strategies, and long-term connection beyond therapy.
