What is CSTIP?

You can love someone deeply and still be really bad at being in a relationship with them.

If you keep having the same argument in seventeen different forms, something underneath the argument probably needs our attention. At some point, we already know this isn't really about the dishwasher. 🍽️😏
 

I work with individuals and couples navigating communication, recurring conflict, resentment, attachment patterns, infidelity, intimacy, sexuality, differences in desire, disconnection, trust, and major relationship transitions.
 

My training as an Integrative Relationship Therapist and Certified Sex-Informed Professional, combined with my trauma-informed background, helps us look at the whole picture—not just who started the argument this time. 🧩
 

Sometimes what looks like a relationship problem involves an old survival pattern. Sometimes trauma is affecting intimacy or trust. Sometimes hormones, pregnancy, parenthood, stress, sleep, or major life changes are changing how you relate to each other.
 

And sometimes it really is a relationship problem. 🤷‍♀️
 

Not everything needs a trauma explanation. Not every emotion needs to be analyzed to death. And sometimes your partner isn't triggering your attachment wound—they're just being annoying. 😬
 

But patterns that keep hurting you deserve attention.
 

Rather than spending therapy deciding who's right and who's wrong, we'll look at what keeps happening, what each person brings into the pattern, how it affects intimacy and the rest of your life, and what actually needs to change.
 

Because being able to explain why you keep doing something isn't quite the same as learning how to stop doing it.
 

❤️ The goal isn't to win the argument.
It's to stop needing to have the same one.
