You’re exhausted from fighting, avoiding, or silently hoping things will just “get better.”
You’ve tried to hold it together, but somewhere along the way, the connection started unraveling — and now it feels like you're more like roommates or enemies than partners.
If you're here, it means you still care.
You’re not ready to give up.
And I want you to know — I see that effort, and I’m here to help.
Hello
I'm Ra'Shunda Adams, a marriage and family therapist - associate (supervised by Dr. Mercedes Moore and Dr. Ashley Staats), wife of 16 years, and mother of three — and I help couples stop surviving their relationship and start rebuilding something real, safe, and deeply connected.
I work with partners who feel emotionally drained, stuck in patterns that never seem to change, and unsure if it’s even possible to communicate without it ending in an argument, shutdown, or blame.
But here’s the truth:
What you're experiencing is common — and it’s not the end of your story.
Why Couples Choose Me
Because I don’t just sit in the “problem.”
I help you learn to see each other again — without defensiveness, without performance, and without shame.
Before we dive into strategies, I create space for self-compassion, clarity, and honest reflection. Most couples I work with already know how to criticize themselves or their partner — what they need is a way to feel safe enough to be real again.
Together, we will:
-
Get to the root of your disconnection — not just fix the symptoms
-
Create emotional safety so communication doesn’t turn into combat
-
Learn how to be on the same team again — even in the hard stuff
-
Build a relationship that works for you — not one based on survival, resentment, or silence
A Bit More About Me
Outside the therapy room, I’m a sneaker enthusiast (but I have kids so IYKYK 😅), a relationship/marriage coach, a podcast co-host with my husband on The B-Side of Marriage, and a big fan of matching couple gear and graphic tees that say what you're thinking. Check out our shop here.
I believe in doing the real work, but also in joy, laughter, and small daily rituals that keep love alive.
That’s what I bring to my work with couples — realness, reflection, and restoration.
What It’s Like to Work With Me?
Therapy with me starts at your pace. I don’t push for vulnerability before you feel safe — I meet you where you are, and we go from there. I’ll help you move from survival mode to building a relationship that feels emotionally honest and deeply supported.
Whether you’re on the brink of burnout, stuck in a cycle of silence, or unsure where to start, know this:
You don’t have to carry this alone. You’re not too late. You’re not too broken.
And you don’t have to be perfect to start healing.
