Are you and your partner feeling disconnected or struggling to communicate effectively? Do you find yourselves having the same arguments over and over? Are you having trouble moving past an infidelity or betrayal? As a licensed therapist with a direct, solution-focused approach, I help couples tackle these issues head-on and build a stronger, more connected relationship. With my direct style, I don't shy away from addressing the hard truths. I’ll help you understand what's not working in your relationship and give you clear, actionable steps to create lasting change.

I am a relationships and communications expert, professionally trained in the Gottman Method. The Gottman Method focuses on creating lasting change by teaching couples practical tools for managing conflict, enhancing respect, and affection and understanding each other’s needs. I also provide discernment counseling when that is the more appropriate option.

Don't wait to start counseling until it's too late. Rather, let this be the turning point to a healthier, more satisfying relationship! If you're ready to make real progress and transform your relationship, reach out today to start working with a therapist who is committed to helping you thrive.

I specialize in working with first responders, doctors/nurses, pilots, and their spouses and/or family members. While extremely admirable, these professions can have many implications on an individual's personal relationships.

My approach is formed by the Gottman Method. In the first session, you can expect to focus on the history of your relationship, which will help us better understand the dynamics. I will then meet with each partner individually to explore personal perspectives more deeply. Finally, we will work together to establish specific goals based on recurring patterns and behaviors that have been identified.
