Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? Do you feel more like roommates lately? Maybe you're feeling lonely in your relationship and yearn for more quality time together. You want to feel close again, bring meaningful conversation and intimacy back, make each other a priority again. You have tried to make things better on your own, and it hasn't worked. You're ready to take action, address the issues and move your relationship to the forefront. You're ready to get back on the same team working toward the same goals. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I would love to help you get there in Couples Therapy.

The heart of my practice is working couples providing premarital, marital and couples counseling. I specialize in using the Gottman Method, what many professionals today consider the gold standard for couple's work. It is backed by 40 years of research. We help partners rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional connection.

My passion is to help couples stay connected using tools the Gottman Method offers to enhance your love for each other over the lifetime of your relationship. It is possible to rediscover the love you share and get your relationship back on track, so you can feel at your best; supported, connected, seen, and secure. Call for a free 20 minute consult!

As part of the Gottman Method, I think connecting with the research and strategies that Gottman offers is really helpful to get through difficult times in a relationship. Most couples see significant progress with 12 sessions, which includes a foundational 4 session intake. In addition, I give you exercises to do in between sessions to reinforce strategies learned and keep you in engaged.
