Relationships are at the heart of our lives—and when they’re struggling, everything else can feel off balance. I help couples rediscover connection, rebuild trust, and communicate in ways that bring healing and hope back into the relationship. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, and AAMFT Approved Supervisor, I integrate the best of research-based methods with empathy and real-world experience. My approach is warm, structured, and deeply collaborative—helping couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck and develop new ways to turn toward one another.
In addition to weekly sessions, I offer Couples Therapy Intensives and Retreats—private, focused experiences designed to help you make significant progress in just a few days. These intensives provide the dedicated time and space many couples need to reconnect, heal from past hurts, and create lasting change.
Whether you’re navigating a crisis, rebuilding after infidelity, or simply feeling distant and unsure where to go next, there is a path forward. Together, we’ll focus on understanding what’s really happening beneath the surface so you can move toward a relationship that feels secure, supportive, and alive again. You don’t have to do this alone!
