Therapy for Healthy Relationships
At Luna Therapy Center, I am passionate about helping couples build stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling relationships. Whether you're navigating communication issues, managing conflict, or seeking to deepen your emotional connection, couples/relational therapy can be a transformative step towards improving your relationship.
In couples therapy, I work with all types of relationships—including married, engaged, dating, LGBTQ+, and those in nontraditional relationship structures. I am particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent couples (including ADHD, Autistic, and AuDHD partnerships) who are looking for a space that understands and honors different ways of processing, communicating, and experiencing the world.
Common Issues Addressed in Couples Therapy:
Communication Problems: Learn effective communication techniques to express needs and listen with empathy.
Conflict Resolution: Develop healthy ways to resolve disagreements without damaging the relationship.
Premarital Counseling: Prepare for a lifetime commitment by addressing key issues such as values, financial planning, and family dynamics.
Sexual Intimacy and Connection: Improve emotional and physical intimacy by addressing issues related to sexual dissatisfaction or mismatched desires.
Life Transitions: Support for couples going through major life changes such as moving, starting a family, or career shifts.
Communication & Neurodiversity: Move beyond "standard" communication advice to address different processing styles and finding a shared language that works for both neurotypical and neurodivergent partners.
Executive Functioning & Division of Labor: Navigate the "mental load" and household harmony by creating systems that support executive functioning needs rather than relying on neurotypical expectations.
Sensory Needs & Intimacy: Explore how sensory processing impacts physical closeness, shared environments, and emotional regulation within the relationship.
My approach is relational, solution-focused, and neuro-affirming. I integrate therapeutic methods such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Narrative Therapy, adapting these tools to ensure they are accessible and effective for neurodivergent brains. Together, we will create a customized plan that moves away from 'fixing' one another and toward building a relationship that supports both of your unique nervous systems.
If you and your partner are ready to work on improving your relationship, I am here to help. Together, we can rebuild trust, enhance communication, and deepen your emotional connection.
