Relationship Counseling in Colorado Springs
When distance grows between you and someone you love, I help couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and create emotionally safe partnerships.
When silence feels louder than words
Are you feeling emotionally alone in your relationship?
Even the strongest people can feel disconnected in their closest relationships. Maybe you’ve stopped talking about the hard stuff. Maybe you feel like you’re too much or not enough. The emotional space between you keeps growing, even though you're still physically together. You may be stuck in people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, or replaying old arguments because you're scared the next one might be the last straw.
That kind of pressure is exhausting. And it takes a real toll.
- Feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood
- Quiet resentment building with no release
- Constant anxiety around saying the wrong thing
- Tension that sits in your body like a weight
Frontline offers a space to slow down and repair. I use trauma-aware, emotionally grounded tools that help you and your partner rebuild trust, set healthier boundaries, and feel safe enough to be honest again.
You shouldn’t have to shrink to stay close
What is Relationship Counseling?
Relationship counseling is more than just solving arguments. It’s about understanding the emotional patterns that keep you stuck, especially when stress, trauma, or past betrayals are involved. Whether you're married, dating, or unsure what’s next, this work is about learning to relate in healthier, more connected ways.
Every relationship hits hard seasons. That doesn’t mean it’s broken. With support, you can learn how to communicate, reconnect, and move forward with clarity.
You might benefit from this if you:
- Struggle to express your needs without conflict
- Feel like you’re walking on eggshells
- Have unresolved resentment or betrayal
- Feel emotionally disconnected, even if things “look fine” on the outside
Even strong couples can feel painfully far apart

When the walls come down, you can speak honestly without the fear of being shut down or ignored. You can reconnect in ways that feel authentic and safe.
Your relationship might not look like it did before, and that’s okay. Growth means creating something new, something more grounded, more honest, and more aligned with the people you are now. Counseling can help you get there.

Step 2
Creating Your Personalized Therapy Plan:
Once we start, I’ll learn about your unique story and goals. I tailor therapy for your needs, whether it’s trauma, grief, transitions, or depression, supporting real progress and lasting coping skills.
Step 3
Engaging in the Therapy Process:
Therapy is collaborative, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to explore emotions, gain insight, and build coping skills. I’ll adjust the approach as needed to support your growth and goals.
Closeness shouldn’t feel out of reach
You Don’t Have to Keep Drifting Apart
It’s easy to put your relationship on the back burner when life is busy or the conflict feels too big to solve. But ignoring the disconnection won’t make it disappear. The longer the silence or tension goes unaddressed, the harder it becomes to reach each other.
With therapy, you have a space to speak honestly, repair what’s broken, and create new patterns that actually support the kind of relationship you want.
The people I work with aren’t looking for perfect. They’re looking for real. And real is possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Relationship counseling
Is relationship counseling just for couples?
Not at all. I do offer individual counseling. However, couples counseling is specifically reserved for both partners, so in this case, we would schedule an individual session instead.
Can counseling help if there’s been infidelity?
Yes. While healing after betrayal is incredibly hard, it is possible with the right support and structure. We move at your pace. Counseling provides a safe space to process the hurt, rebuild trust, and explore whether and how the relationship can move forward. Whether you're seeking clarity, closure, or a path to repair, therapy can help each partner feel heard, understand what led to the breach, and develop tools for healthier communication and boundaries going forward.
Who is not a good candidate for couples counseling?
1. Active or recent physical abuse or intimate partner violence
If there is active physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, couples therapy can actually be harmful or unsafe. Individual therapy and safety planning should come first.
2. One or both partners are unwilling to participate or engage honestly
If one partner is attending reluctantly or refuses to take accountability, therapy may stall or reinforce unhelpful dynamics.
3. One partner is actively involved in an undisclosed affair
If infidelity is ongoing and not disclosed, trust cannot be rebuilt. Individual therapy or disclosure work may be needed first.
4. One partner has already decided to seriously leave the relationship
If one person has truly checked out or is only attending to “check a box,” progress is often limited.
5. Severe untreated mental illness or active substance abuse
When individual safety, regulation, or stability is compromised, couples work may need to pause until stabilization occurs through individual treatment.
