Feeling Disconnected, Anxious, or Stuck in the Same Old Arguments?
When relationship distress takes over, everyday interactions start to feel high-stakes.
You find yourself walking on eggshells, anxious about saying the wrong thing or triggering a conflict.
You feel lonely even when sitting in the same room, wondering how you went from being best friends to feeling like distant roommates.
You get trapped in repetitive cycles—where one person reaches out or gets frustrated, the other shuts down or pulls away, and neither of you feels heard.
Deep down, you care immensely about your relationship, but the exhaustion, anxiety, and misunderstandings leave you wondering how to find your way back to harmony.
If any of this feels familiar, please know this: Relational distress doesn't mean your relationship is broken. It means your underlying attachment needs are asking for attention.
A Grounded, Evidence-Based Path Back to Connection
Therapy shouldn't be about endless venting or assigning blame. It is a space to slow down, get curious, and learn what actually makes relationships thrive.
Together, we look beyond the surface arguments to address what really matters:
Somatic & Emotional Grounding: We ease the anxiety living in your nervous system so you can step out of fight-or-flight reactivity and into calm, clear communication.
Meeting Attachment Needs: We translate the hidden needs behind your distress—the desire to feel secure, valued, and safe—into clear, direct expression.
Practical Action: We focus on practical ways to actively show love, repair ruptures quickly, and protect space for joy, connection, and ease.
Whether you come as a couple wanting to rebuild closeness or an individual navigating relational anxiety, we will map a practical, evidence-based route toward clarity, harmony, and lasting trust.
Ready to shift out of distress and into clarity?
Hi, I’m Genevieve
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate in Washington State, I help couples and individuals unpack high-pressure dynamics, untangle anxiety, and build authentic connections. My therapeutic style is curious, direct, compassionate, and empowering—giving you a supportive space to move past rigid patterns and discover genuine clarity and joy.
I will name the uncomfortable habits holding you back, but I will do it with total faith in what is possible for you. Real change happens when we stop treating ourselves as broken and start shifting how we relate to our pain, our partners, and our past. I believe distress comes not from who we are, but from the protective strategies we’ve outgrown. Together, we work in the present moment to build self-worth, foster lasting harmony, and create secure, resilient connections.
What to Expect in Our Sessions:
Radical Honesty: We talk about the "hard shit"—sex, money, spirituality, and the power dynamics .
Compassionate Directness: I am direct because I respect your time, but I am compassionate because I know change is hard.
Tailored Solutions: Your life is complex. I start working from the research and I also pull from my diverse education and life experience to find the specific strategies that work for your circumstances.
I have a fierce commitment to your growth. If you are ready to trade "fine" for "extraordinary," let's get to work.
Specialized Practice Areas
Below are the core areas where I help couples, individuals, and families break out of old patterns and bring clarity, harmony, and lasting joy back into everyday life.
Couple & Relationship Dynamics
Relationships are complex, but you don't have to stay stuck in recurring cycles of gridlock or emotional distance. Whether you are navigating high-conflict interactions, communication friction, or life transitions, we work systemically to move your partnership away from defensiveness and toward conscious collaboration, emotional safety, and a deep, lasting connection.

Anxiety, Perfectionism, & OCPD
High standards are a strength until they become exhausting. If you are constantly managing chronic anxiety, rigid internal rules, or the relentless pressure to perform, we will cut through the friction. Together, we untangle the grip of perfectionism and OCPD so you can trade burnout for genuine self-worth, flexibility, and internal peace.
Sex, Desire, & Intimacy
Intimacy challenges, desire discrepancies, and sexual disconnection can leave you feeling isolated even within a committed partnership. This space offers a direct, non-judgmental, and sex-positive environment to explore what is getting in the way of your physical and emotional closeness, helping you rebuild vulnerability and vitality.
Financial Therapy
Money is rarely just about numbers—it is deeply tied to security, power, family patterns, and unspoken expectations. Whether you are experiencing recurring conflict with a partner over spending styles, or struggling with your own internal pressure and stress around financial decisions, we examine the systemic and emotional layers of money so you can find clarity, alignment, and shared peace of mind.
Adult Siblings & Platonic Dynamics
Romantic partnerships aren't the only relationships that require deep attunement. Navigating friction with an adult sibling, a best friend, a business partner, or a close colleague can be deeply painful. We untangle complex relational dynamics outside of romance to help you establish clear boundaries, repair fractures, and cultivate authentic, sustainable connections.
