About
Something shifts between two people when life gets hard. Before the wedding, in the first year of marriage, or when a baby arrives and the person you built everything with feels just out of reach. That quiet ache of "I miss us" is usually what brings couples in. Not the big blow-up. Just the slow distance neither of you knows how to name. Whether you're preparing for marriage, going through the early years or in the thick of new parenthood, we work on what's actually happening between you, not just the surface argument. Postpartum is where I do my deepest work. That season pulls couples apart in ways nobody warns them about. What moves couples forward is someone who can see the cycle as it's happening and name it out loud. Sessions are direct and yes, there's humor because the chaos of early parenthood deserves to be acknowledged. You'll feel safe. You won't feel coddled. Sessions are private pay, $175 for 60 minutes, evenings and weekends available online across Minnesota. First step is a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. You don't have to have it figured out before you reach out. If something between you feels off and you're ready to look at it together, that's enough to start. Specialties: When we work together you'll stop performing okay for each other. You'll say the thing you've been circling around for months. You'll fight less about the dishes and more about what the dishes actually mean. Most couples feel a shift sooner than they expect. Not because the hard stuff disappears, but because you finally have language for it. Credentials & Experience: I specialize in helping expecting and new parents navigate conflict, communicate more clearly, and stay connected through the major shifts of early parenthood. I support partners through postpartum transitions, shifts in intimacy, evolving identities, and relationship stress.
