Midlife Couples Therapy
"Midlife doesn't just change individuals.
It changes couplehood."
—Diseph Igoni, LMFT
Midlife couples navigating the
second half of their relationship.
At the heart of every strong relationship is curiosity, intimacy, understanding, and growth.
I specialize in working with midlife couples in established relationships as they navigate the second half of their relationship—when identity, intimacy, parenting roles, menopause, resentment, and life transitions can change a relationship in ways that leave you thinking:
“We’re not the same people we were when we married.”
Or:
“We’ve been together for years, and we don’t know each other anymore.”
I help long-term couples reconnect, repair, and navigate the transitions that come with midlife and the second half of life.
If you’ve found yourself thinking:
“We’re not the same people we were when we married.”
“We’ve been together for years, and somehow we don’t know each other anymore.”
“How did we get here?”
“We love each other, so why does this feel so hard?”
“The kids are growing up, our lives are changing, and we’re realizing we need to figure out who we are now.”
“What happened to us?”
These are nuanced questions that often emerge at a very particular point in life.
Whether your couplehood carries years of unhealthy patterns and accumulated hurts, you are experiencing changing identities and expectations, or your relationship is navigating retirement, aging, intimacy, forgiveness, companionship, or the complexities of creating a blended family after divorce—the transitions of midlife can profoundly affect how you experience one another.
Through relational therapy centered on the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to couples therapy, I help couples strengthen communication, work through conflict, and deepen their understanding of one another.
But couples therapy is about more than learning skills.
It is also about developing a deeper understanding of your relationship, your individual experiences, and the meaning of this particular season of life. Through that process, couples can begin to make sense of what has changed, what they need now, and how they want to move forward together.
Every relationship benefits from intentional reflection and care. Whether you’re navigating significant challenges or simply want to reconnect and grow together, I create a safe, thoughtful space to explore what is happening in your relationship with curiosity, compassion, and honesty.
The Gottman Method Couples Therapy is tailored, inclusive, and flexible, honoring the unique experience of every couple—regardless of background, culture, sexual orientation, relationship structure, or stage of life.
Together, we cultivate clarity, connection, and lasting growth.
