If you're searching for a couples therapist or a weekend retreat, I might be able to assist. Together, we’ll slow down, examine the patterns that keep you stuck, and develop new habits of connection. You’ll learn to listen with empathy, speak clearly, and turn toward each other—even when it’s tough. My style is quite active. I won't sit back and watch you argue in front of me; I'll jump in and offer alternative ways to discuss your issues so that the conversation remains productive. My husband and I also host weekend getaway retreats in the Poconos. Our next one is on October 10th, 2025.
There are several evidence-based approaches to couples therapy, each with slight differences. I chose the Gottman Method, which is considered by many to be the "Gold Standard" of couples therapy due to its foundation in longitudinal relational psychology research. I'm certified in Gottman (2011) and work with the Gottman Institute as a trainer and researcher
It's not easy to ask for help, but you've taken the first step by starting your research. You are not alone, even though it may feel that way right now. I am here and ready to support you whenever you choose to reach out, and I have a team of therapists to refer you to if I'm not a good fit. Congratulations on prioritizing your health :)

If you work with me, you'll start with a thorough assessment and then transition to actively working toward reaching your goals. My style is to jump in a lot (perhaps earlier than you think I should) so that your time in my office is productive. I won't sit back and watch you argue in front of me; I'll coach you to talk to each other with more care.

A therapeutic partnership is a collaboration. My advanced training comes secondary to trusting the knowledge and wisdom of the couples who are brave enough to seek help. My ideas and strategies come from evidence-based approaches, but you still get to decide whether or not they work for your specific situation and relationship.
