I specialize in working with couples using Gottman Method and EFT. Every couple faces challenges, but when communication breaks down or trust is shaken, it can feel overwhelming. Arguments never get resolved, or silence replaces connection. You may feel more like roommates than partners, & intimacy feels far away. Forgiveness seems impossible after betrayal. You want to break the cycle but feel stuck in the same patterns. Part of you wants to stay, but living in the pain feels unbearable. You’ve built an incredible life together, but you’re wondering if this relationship can survive. Visit Therapist-SD to learn more.
I help couples find their way back to each with marriage or relationship therapy. I am warm, empathetic, yet direct. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where both of you will feel heard. I’ll help you slow down, uncover what’s beneath the conflict, and build lasting skills to navigate hard conversations with confidence.
As a level 3 trained Gottman therapist, I specialize in helping couples rebuild trust after betrayal, communicate with respect instead of criticism, and rekindle intimacy and passion. Therapy can help you feel like true partners again-equal, connected, & supported, so your relationship becomes a safe place for love to grow. Go to Therapist-SD to Schedule.

Even though Gottman Method is my first go to, I often combine EFT's focus on attachment & deep emotional cycles with Gottman's concrete communication skills & behavioral tools. It creates a holistic approach where EFT builds emotional safety and intimacy, while Gottman provides practical strategies addressing both the "why" (EFT) and the "how" (Gottman) of relationship issues.
