Gottman Method Couples Therapy
With 17 years of clinical experience, I help couples move from disconnection to research-backed, lasting security. As a Level 3 Gottman Trained therapist, I use structured, evidence-based interventions to address the patterns that most often break couples down — for clients who want it, I integrate Christian faith and scripture as a foundation for that healing.
I work with couples on:
Communication breakdown — resolving the Four Horsemen: defensiveness, criticism, contempt, and stonewalling
Emotional and relational barriers — differentiation of self, healthy boundaries, and family-of-origin dynamics

My approach is solution focused. I am not primarily concerned with how or why your present challenge developed but will focus instead on helping you to find a way forward. I hope to elicit and reinforce your positive attributes and competencies and help you access your inner strength. Your ability to change or improve your situation depends on your desire to do so and my job is to awaken that desire within you.
The biggest challenge all of us face is negative thinking. Our happiness depends less on our ircumstance than our disposition.

If you're high-achieving and still feel like anxiety, panic, ADHD, depression, or relationship friction is quietly unraveling you, you're in the right place. You don't need more coping strategies. You need a clearer architecture for how you think, perform, and show up. I'm a former LPGA Tour professional with a double Master's in Sport and Family Psychology. After overcoming a 50% loss in vision and rebuilding my clarity from scratch, I don't just teach resilience. I've lived it.

Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that leave them feeling drained or unsure of themselves.
I have always worked for an entity that required me to see certain clients or refer for medication management rather than letting clients work through issues without the stigma. I have since decided to veer off on my own, and start a private practice where I can offer empathy and support while helping others navigate this thing called life.

I am passionate about my work, specializing in depression, anxiety, life coaching, and women’s issues. I love the quote, "to get something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done."
