As a Gottman-informed therapist, I help couples strengthen connection, rebuild trust, and communicate more effectively. Using the Gottman Couples Checkup, we identify strengths and growth areas, creating a roadmap for lasting change. I work best with couples ready to deepen understanding, manage conflict constructively, and foster a sense of friendship and shared meaning. My approach is warm, research-based, and focused on practical, lasting relationship growth.
I help couples reconnect and feel close again. Using the Gottman Couples Checkup and proven methods from the Gottman Institute, I guide you to better understand each other, communicate with care, and move through conflict without hurting the relationship. Together, we work to rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and create connection that feels good.
Most couples prefer to feel understood, valued, and close again. If that’s what you’re seeking, you’re not alone. Taking the first step can open the door to a relationship that feels more connected, supportive, and secure. If you would like to just get through an evening without feeling blamed or criticized, you have come to the right place to learn how.
