I help with individuals and couples experiencing relationship and emotional difficulties that feel hard to change on their own. Many couples come feeling stuck in repeated conflict, emotional distance, or like they’ve become “housemates” rather than partners. Others feel anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns in relationships and life that keep repeating. Some are navigating deeper challenges such as betrayal, broken trust, or long-term disconnection. I help you understand these patterns and what sits beneath them, so you can begin to respond differently and move toward more connection, clarity, and stability.
I use the Gottman Method and Schema Therapy to help individuals and couples understand what’s driving conflict, disconnection, and emotional distress. Together, we work on changing patterns, improving communication, and building stronger, more connected relationships.
If you’ve been lying awake after another argument, wondering how your relationship ended up here, you’re not alone. Whether you feel like housemates, struggle to communicate without conflict, or are trying to rebuild after an affair, it’s easy to feel disconnected and unsure where to turn. I offer a calm space to understand what’s happening and move forward.
