When patterns keep repeating and conversations no longer help
Why do we keep arguing about the same things?
Most relationship conflicts revolve on the surface around everyday issues – household responsibilities, time, money, parenting. But beneath them lies almost always the same thing: the feeling of not truly being seen. Not heard. Not mattering enough.
These feelings are not new. They usually stem from our earliest attachment experiences – and are uniquely activated in the closeness of a partner. Two people bring their unprocessed wounds into a relationship and meet each other there in patterns that can feel like traps.
My approach addresses exactly this: not the symptom, but the deeper underlying causes.

An approach that goes deeper
In traditional couples therapy, partners learn communication techniques. That is valuable – but often not enough. Because when a conversation escalates emotionally, no tool learned in a calm state will hold.
I work in a trauma-informed way: we look at which inner states get activated in each partner – and where those states come from. Often, simply understanding and working through these roots is enough to fundamentally shift the dynamic between two people.
Depending on the situation, I work with the couple together, in individual sessions with each partner, or in a combination of both.
