Do you feel like you and your partner are stuck in the same arguments or tiptoeing around certain topics? Maybe you're wondering if you and your partner are truly on the same page- or how to even start those bigger conversations. Whether you’re dating, years in or navigating relationship questions on your own, I offer a supportive space to explore what's coming up. As a couples therapist, with Gottman Level 1 and 2 training, I bring practical tools to help you communicate better, handle differences, and build a solid foundation for a lasting relationship that feels good long-term.
You want to feel understood, communicate in a way that actually works, & know you’re on the same page. Maybe one of you processes things internally while the other needs to talk things through. Or emotions don’t always come out the way you intend. I help you bridge those gaps so your relationship feels easier, stronger & keeps moving in the right direction.
By working together, you’ll feel clearer & more confident in yourself and your relationship. My goal isn’t just to help you avoid problems but to strengthen what’s already good so your relationship stays strong. A little intention now can make a big difference later. If this resonates with you book a free intro call today.

Research shows the most important factor for successful therapy is the relationship with your therapist. I incorporate skills from Gottman and DBT with a kind yet direct approach so you can see the growth you want! Our first session is focused on getting to know you, your history and goals so we can collaborate on the approach you want to take.
