My ideal clients are high-functioning couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or at a crossroads in their relationship. Many are professionals or executives who value clarity, efficiency, and results, and who may have tried therapy before without getting the traction they hoped for. They want a process that is structured, direct, and meaningful—not open-ended or vague. Often, they are navigating high stress, trust injuries, life transitions, or important decisions about the future of their relationship.
I provide structured, evidence-based couples therapy grounded in the Gottman Method, including intensive couples therapy for those who want focused, time-limited work. I bring particular depth to addiction recovery for couples, affair recovery, discernment counseling, and later-life relationship transitions, while working with a range of committed couples.
Seeking couples therapy often means something important isn’t working—and you don’t want to keep repeating the same conversations. I offer a grounded, engaged approach that balances honesty with compassion and structure with warmth. If you’re ready to take a clear, thoughtful look at your relationship & move forward with intention, I welcome you to reach out
