I work with individuals and couples who feel trapped in frustrating cycles that damage their relationships or personal wellbeing. You've attempted to make a change, but you still find yourself stuck even though you're prepared to recognize your role in these dynamics. It's happened so often that you're finally committed to genuine transformation but don't know how. You want concrete tools and focused direction rather than unlimited discussions like the, "How does this make you feel" variety. You still see potential for change but require assistance in making this change.

As a Gottman Certified Therapist, I provide a structured approach to therapy that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I help you identify negative patterns as a couple or individual, develop communication skills, rebuild trust, and create deeper emotional connection. I focus on creating lasting change rather than providing temporary fixes.

Relationship struggles can be isolating, making you question whether things can improve. I know how exhausting it feels when you're both trying but can't break free from destructive patterns. If you're ready to move beyond discussing your problems to actually solving them, and engage in the uncomfortable work of real change, feel free to reach out!

I primarily use the Gottman Method for couples work, focusing on transforming conflict into understanding. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, not endless processing. You'll identify destructive patterns and learn practical communication tools you can immediately apply. I integrate CBT when helpful, while maintaining a direct, solutions-focused approach with straightforward guidance.
