Couples & Marriage Therapy
Support for when your relationship feels strained, disconnected, or stuck.
Every relationship goes through difficult seasons. You may find yourselves having the same conversations over and over, feeling misunderstood, or struggling to reconnect after conflict or distance.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin rebuilding connection in a way that feels steady and supportive.
All sessions are offered virtually, serving couples across Florida.
Is Couples Therapy Right for You?
Couples often reach out when something doesn’t feel the way it used to — or when communication has become difficult or overwhelming.
You may be navigating:
-
Ongoing conflict or communication challenges
-
Feeling disconnected or emotionally distant
-
Intimacy concerns or changes in your relationship
-
Life transitions (newlyweds, parenting, empty nest, retirement)
-
Rebuilding after betrayal or loss of trust
-
The impact of past experiences or trauma within the relationship
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many couples come in simply wanting to feel closer, more understood, and more supported in their relationship.
What Couples Therapy Can Support
Couples therapy is not about assigning blame — it’s about understanding patterns, reactions, and the dynamics that keep you feeling stuck.
Together, we work to:
Improve communication in a way that feels clearer and less reactive
Rebuild trust and emotional safety
Better understand each partner’s needs, experiences, and responses
Navigate conflict with more awareness and less escalation
Strengthen connection and emotional intimacy
As we slow things down, it becomes easier to notice how stress, past experiences, and nervous system responses may be influencing how each of you shows up in the relationship.
Over time, couples often begin to feel more grounded, more connected, and more able to respond to each other with clarity and care.
How Couples Therapy Works
Couples therapy is a collaborative process where both partners are supported in feeling heard and understood.
Sessions are structured to create a sense of safety and balance — ensuring that each person has space to share their experience without feeling overwhelmed or dismissed.
We work at a pace that feels manageable, helping you recognize patterns in communication, emotional responses, and reactions — while building tools to navigate challenges more effectively outside of sessions.
The goal is not perfection, but a stronger, more stable foundation for your relationship.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Couples Work
Relationships are shaped not only by present-day challenges, but also by past experiences and how each person has learned to respond to stress, conflict, and connection.
My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how the nervous system impacts communication, reactions, and emotional safety within relationships.
We may explore:
How each partner responds to stress or conflict
Patterns of disconnection, shutdown, or reactivity
Ways to create more safety and regulation within interactions
Tools to support communication and reconnection
This work is tailored to your relationship — integrating approaches that support both insight and meaningful change over time.

B.H.
I have worked with Amanda since 2017, and she has been one of the most transformative and steady presences in my life.
Her expertise spans trauma and PTSD, women’s issues, LGBTQ+ support, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, couples work, and more, but what truly sets her apart is how she integrates deep clinical knowledge with empathy, strength, and holistic awareness. She is exceptionally kind and compassionate, yet grounded and appropriately firm when growth requires it.
Over the years, I have benefited from many of her approaches, including EMDR, ART, CBT, somatic work, trauma-focused therapy, and strength-based modalities. In individual therapy, she helped me build insight and self-awareness. In couples therapy, she was instrumental in strengthening communication and understanding. Her holistic perspective honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
During one of the most traumatic periods of my life ( a complex medical recovery ) Amanda was instrumental in helping me rebuild. She collaborated seamlessly with my psychiatrist, neurologist, and family, ensuring my mental health care aligned with my broader healing process. Because of our work together, I did not just stabilize, I grew stronger.
Our long-term work has helped me develop resilience, emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of self. I am not the same person I was in 2017 . I am healthier, more self-aware, and more grounded.
She is reliable, culturally sensitive, deeply knowledgeable in both clinical and holistic approaches, and profoundly trustworthy. I have referred her many times, including for children’s therapy, because I have complete confidence in her care.
Working with Amanda has truly changed my life, and I am deeply grateful for her guidance and partnership in my healing journey.
