You’re stuck in the same painful patterns of arguments that go nowhere, distance that keeps growing, or trust that’s been shaken. You may still care deeply about each other, but the relationship doesn’t feel the way it used to. If you’re here, something needs to change. As a couples therapist trained in the Gottman Method, I help you break these cycles, communicate clearly, and rebuild connection and trust so you can feel like a team again.
My approach is neutral, I'm here to support the relationship, holding both individuals accountable for their contributions and pushing them to make real, lasting changes. I take my work seriously, as you do your relationship, and I'm committed to guiding you both toward improvement via tangible, evidence-based, common sense driven techniques and skills.
My clients often express their appreciation for my ability to be warm, transparent, and my willingness to challenge clients when appropriate. Whether you are a couple seeking to work through difficult times, an individual seeking to delve into your concerns, or someone just curious about therapy, feel free to email or message me if you have any questions.
