Couples therapy for analytical people. Let's get the squirrel out of the house. So what is your squirrel? It starts with the dishes, the schedule, and the credit card, and ends somewhere uglier. One of you pushes for an answer. The other goes quiet, disappears into the phone or the garage. The harder one of you reaches, the further the other pulls away. Or maybe you are past fighting. The arguments stopped, but nothing got fixed. The kids are thriving, the careers are working, the house looks great on Instagram, and somehow you and your partner have become strangers who share a calendar.

The squirrel is the pattern underneath every fight, the one you cannot see from inside it. Every couple here begins with the four-session Couples Roadmap. Together we name your squirrel and slow it down in real time. You leave with a written plan, a name for the cycle, and a way back to each other.

You don't have to keep walking away feeling alone in your own marriage. Most couples wait years before reaching out, hoping it will get better on its own. You are both worn out from the squirrel in the house. Let me help you get it out of your relationship. Visit my website and fill out the form for your free 20-minute consultation.

The same fight. The growing silence. The intimacy that quietly disappeared. These aren't signs it's over, they're signs you're stuck in a pattern you can't see from inside it. I use EFT and Gottman, integrated in real time, in the room with you. What changes here follow you home.
