What is relationship transition therapy?

Relationships don’t stand still. They evolve, shift, and stretch—especially during big transitions. Whether you’re moving in together, deciding whether to get engaged, planning a wedding, thinking about children, or relocating, these moments can bring up tender emotions, old patterns, and new questions.

As a couples therapist in Denver, I often see couples right at these crossroads. Not because something is wrong—but because something important is happening. Transitions ask us to renegotiate roles, communicate more clearly, and deepen our understanding of each other. That’s the work we do in therapy: create space for the hard conversations and help you move through them feeling more connected.

If you and your partner are facing a turning point—big or small—couples therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and realign.

Interested in working through a relationship transition with support? I’d love to help.
