Do you and your partner find yourselves in more arguments? Are you trying to move past an affair? Couples who experience these shifts can revive their relationship and build a better bond. If you are motivated to create meaningful change, I equip you with essential communication skills, healthy ways to handle conflict, and methods to strengthen your friendship. I also assist with building v2.0 of your relationship. I start by learning the history of and present issues in the relationship, along with getting to know each partner. I help by teaching foolproof Gottman Method skills, an evidence-based approach to couples counseling.
I offer easy, effective techniques that move your relationship in your desired direction. I provide a treatment plan specific to your couples therapy goals, giving transparency to your upcoming therapy. I equip both partners with handouts and tools that aid in your use of these techniques outside of therapy. You gain a better version of your relationship.
My priorities are simple- listen and understand first, help second. I show up as authentic, attentive, and committed within a nurturing space. I also weave in humor and lightness and foster a sense of calm and hope. I am ready to hold space for your vulnerabilities and truths. Book your free consultation online today, and let's take the first step, together.
