Couples Counseling in Columbus, Ohio
Every relationship goes through seasons of connection and struggle. If you and your partner are feeling stuck in conflict, growing apart, or struggling to rebuild trust, relationship counseling can provide the support you need. In my Upper Arlington practice, I help couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate challenges with greater understanding and care.
Why Couples Seek Counseling
Couples often come to therapy when patterns of conflict or distance start to feel overwhelming. You may find yourselves repeating the same arguments, struggling to manage differences in communication styles, or feeling disconnected emotionally and physically. Sometimes life transitions, stress, or past hurt put extra strain on the relationship, leaving both partners unsure how to move forward.
Counseling provides a safe, neutral space to explore these challenges together. With the right support, couples can break out of unhealthy cycles, learn new ways to resolve conflict, and rebuild the closeness that first brought them together.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
I use evidence-based approaches, including the Gottman Method and Gestalt Therpapy, to guide couples toward healthier communication and stronger connection. This means we’ll look closely at the patterns in your relationship and practice new tools that make it easier to talk about difficult topics, express needs, and hear each other more fully.
I also bring an attachment-focused and strengths-based perspective to my work with couples. This helps us explore the deeper needs driving conflict and highlight the resilience and love that already exist in your relationship. Our sessions are collaborative and tailored to your unique goals as a couple.
Getting Started with Couples Counseling
Beginning couples therapy doesn’t mean your relationship is failing, it means you’re investing in it. I offer a free 15-minute phone consult so you and your partner can ask questions, learn more about the process, and see if we’re a good fit.
Sessions are available in-person in Columbus and online for couples throughout Ohio. For information about session fees and insurance, please see my Rates & Services page.
