Go Deeper. 

My medicine calls to ambitious, high-achieving couples who have built successful lives but long for a deeper emotional connection and intimacy.

You’ve overcome challenges, succeeded in ways many couldn’t, and built impressive careers and lives.

Yet despite these accomplishments, there’s a longing for the same depth and dynamism in your emotional connection that you’ve cultivated in your professional and personal pursuits.

The Struggle is Real

For many couples like you, this emotional distance is one of the most difficult challenges you’ve faced.

Though you're both working hard to make it work, communication feels strained, and deeper connection seems just out of reach. You may find yourselves avoiding hard conversations or unsure of how to break through emotional discomfort without pulling away.

Or perhaps, what was once a vibrant connection now feels like it's been replaced by parallel lives—living side by side but not truly integrated with each other—leaving you both feeling out of sync.

You love each other deeply, but know that love alone won’t lead to the type of relationship you want, where you are seen deeply, emotionally intimate, and nourished by each other.

The Hidden Patterns

Many couples don’t realize that their emotional struggles are influenced by deep-seated patterns, shaped not only by family dynamics but also by ancestral threads.

Exploring these doesn’t require blame or rejecting family or cultural values, but rather understanding how the emotional ways we connected in our families impact how we connect with our partners.

Whether it’s a family where emotions were suppressed, vulnerability was avoided, or obligations overshadowed personal needs, these patterns often seep into romantic relationships, blocking the closeness and intimacy you both desire.

Kind Words

  • "Working on my marriage from a place of intention and maturity was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but also one of the most rewarding. I couldn't have imagined working with someone other than Josie - she really has a gift to see people at their core. I felt deeply cared for by her but also like she wouldn't let us play with our potential. She helped us get out of patterns that would have surely led us to divorce. Our marriage is the healthiest it's been in YEARS, and that's because of our work with Josie."

  • "We'd never done couples therapy before, so we were both hesitant and skeptical although we knew we needed the help. Aside from the fact that she looks and sounds like us, we appreciated Josie's honesty from the start. It wasn't jarring or intimidating but refreshingly empowering. It was a reminder that we get to the call the shots in our lives and in how we love. We felt supported and challenged at the same time, which speaks to her skill and expertise. If you get to work with her, consider yourself extremely lucky. We probably shouldn't say this but we love her!"

  • "I never thought I would feel as close to my partner as I do today. I come from a family that "doesn't do feelings," which obviously became a problem in my relationship. Josie held my partner and I close, as we learned to do hard, vulnerable things together and individually, but she also knew when to let us try it on our own. She never made us feel bad or silly for messing up (which is hard for an over-achiever like me) or as she says, being fully human. We learned to give ourselves permission to be who we are, and I didn't realize how monumental that would be for the health of our relationship. Josie is masterful at what she does, and we highly, highly recommend working with her."

Deeper Connection is Possible

Our time together is a sacred, shared journey where transformation unfolds in surprising ways. As we explore the inherited patterns and soul contracts shaping your relationship, you'll discover new depths of connection and understanding.

Through integrating mind, body, and spirit, breakthroughs emerge as quantum shifts—sudden expansions in awareness that transform how you communicate, love, and navigate challenges. While we don't rush healing, this holistic approach naturally creates deep, lasting change.

We'll ground these insights somatically, ensuring your partnership can sustain its evolution beyond our work together. Through therapeutic insight, somatic wisdom, and spiritual guidance, you'll discover a way of loving that feels both transformative and deeply familiar—a partnership aligned with your highest potential.

This journey catalyzes not just personal growth, but a profound evolution that ripples through your lineage and the future you're building together.

Why I Guide This Work

I guide couples because I’ve been where you are—feeling disconnected and longing for emotional intimacy, but unsure how to achieve it.

Like you, I’d built a life I was proud of, but personally, I navigated my relationships from a place of fear. I found myself caught in patterns of codependency and people-pleasing, creating chaos, pain, and more of the emotional distance I wanted to overcome.

It wasn’t until I found myself in a relationship that challenged me to love differently and without armor. It forced me to confront how I contributed to and experienced my relationships. Many of the patterns I struggled with were rooted in my family dynamics, and through this process, I learned how to honor where I came from while having the courage to heal and carve my own path.

Through years of my own personal work, extensive clinical training at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, and nearly a decade of working relationally with individuals, couples and families, I've become especially adept at identifying the links between how we grow up and how we later show up in relationships. I help couples uncover and transmute these patterns to create a relationship built on mutual understanding, trust, and emotional intimacy.

If you’re open to the magic of this work, you’ll each be transformed, leaving with a deeper understanding of yourself and each other, softening your defenses, and creating a partnership and way of loving that previous generations couldn’t, becoming a model of possibility for those who come after you.

Guiding Values

Below you’ll find the compass that guides me while guiding you.

  • Our work calls for radical truth - not just in words, but in how you show up for your healing. This means being real about your fears, dreams, and struggles rather than performing what therapy "should" look like. When you can be honest about who you are and what you truly want, healing becomes something you wear in your body, not just concepts you understand in your mind.

  • I walk the talk, and consistency between my words and actions is supremely important to me. I will never walk with you down a path I haven’t walked myself before.

  • Even when I share background or experiences with my clients, I remain deeply curious about their unique journey and perspective. I understand that shared experiences don't equate to identical meanings, and I honor each person's distinct story and truth.

  • I believe that true healing happens in the context of community and the relationships in our lives. I support interdependence and repair over individualism and cut-offs. My approach celebrates the courage to maintain meaningful connections while honoring personal boundaries.

  • I believe that we’re souls having a human experience and as such, both your human AND spiritual selves need to be cared for. In sessions, this might look like addressing wounds or current challenges while also addressing spiritual boundaries or ancestral trauma. I honor both the earthly and the divine aspects of your healing journey.
