Private couples therapy & marriage intensives for midlife couples ready for lasting change
Boulder, Colorado
You’re Not Alone If…
You love each other, but feel more like roommates than partners.
Conversations quickly turn into arguments—or silence.
You’re recovering from a betrayal and don’t know how to move forward.
One of you longs for more connection while the other pulls away.
The kids are leaving home, and you’re wondering what’s next for your relationship.
You’ve built a life together but miss feeling truly close.
The Good News
The challenge you’re facing may look unique, but the patterns underneath are often surprisingly similar.
Many midlife couples become stuck in cycles of protection rather than connection. When conflict, distance, or emotional shutdown take over, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s really happening between you.
My approach helps couples slow down these automatic patterns, understand the deeper needs driving them, and create the emotional safety needed for lasting change.
The result is more than better communication—it’s a relationship built on deeper trust, connection, intimacy, and partnership.
Why Couples Choose Teena
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked exclusively with couples.
My practice is dedicated to helping midlife couples navigate the challenges that often emerge during life’s most significant transitions—from growing emotional distance and recurring conflict to rebuilding trust after betrayal and redefining connection after the kids leave home.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each couple, helping you understand what’s keeping you stuck and create new ways of connecting that feel more supportive, honest, and fulfilling.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to balance compassion with directness—creating a space where both partners feel understood, challenged, and supported.
The result is a collaborative process designed not just to help you manage problems, but to create meaningful and lasting change.
Real Couples. Real Change
Every couple’s story is different. But meaningful change is possible when you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and learn new ways of connecting.
From Emotional Distance → Renewed Partnership
“We loved each other, but it felt like we were living parallel lives. Through our work with Teena, we began to understand the patterns creating distance between us and found our way back to friendship, trust, and connection.”
From Conflict & Reactivity → Emotional Safety
“Every conversation seemed to end in frustration or defensiveness. We learned how to slow down our reactions, understand each other more deeply, and stay connected—even during difficult conversations.”
From Betrayal → Honesty & Reconnection
“After trust was broken, we weren’t sure our relationship could survive. This process helped us navigate the pain, rebuild trust, and create a stronger, more honest foundation moving forward.”
From Uncertainty → A Shared Vision for the Future
“As we entered a new stage of life, we realized we had lost sight of each other. Working with Teena helped us reconnect, clarify what we wanted, and create a relationship that feels meaningful again.”
Different Stories. Similar Patterns.
While every couple’s story is different, the underlying patterns are often surprisingly similar.
When couples learn to recognize those patterns, they can stop blaming each other and begin working together toward change.
“Most couples aren’t fighting each other. They’re fighting patterns they can’t yet see.” — Teena Evert
Find Your Way Back
Midlife often brings unexpected challenges to a relationship. The roles that once defined you begin to shift. The kids grow up. Priorities change. Old patterns become harder to ignore.
But this chapter doesn’t have to be defined by distance, disappointment, or disconnection.
With the right support, it can become an opportunity to reconnect, rediscover each other, and create a relationship that feels more honest, secure, and fulfilling than before.
You don’t have to do it alone.
It’s Never Too Late to Find Your Way Back to Each Other.
