You've built a life that looks exceptional on paper. But something has quietly shifted...and now you're navigating distance, repeated conflict, and the exhausting sense of being misunderstood by the person who's supposed to know you best. The same cycles keep repeating. Conversations that start with good intentions and end in shutdown, silence, or a debate about who "always" or "never" does what. You're not ready to give up but you're running out of patience for the version of your relationship you're living right now.
I help high-achieving couples untangle the patterns keeping them stuck and find their way back to each other with more clarity, steadiness, and genuine connection. My approach is direct, evidence-based, and tailored to couples who want more than symptom management, they want to understand what's actually driving the disconnect and build something that holds.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of clinical experience, trained in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT). I'm also a Certified Infidelity Repair Specialist. I work with couples in person in Raleigh, NC and via telehealth across North Carolina, Maryland, and Florida.

I operate as a private-pay practice, meaning sessions are focused entirely on you. There are no insurance-driven limitations on session length, frequency, or treatment approach. Many clients find that the investment in effective, focused couples work is far less costly in time, energy, and privacy.

I've spent 15 years working with couples across every kind of setting: community nonprofits, VA healthcare, graduate clinics, and private practice. I've trained the next generation of therapists as a clinical supervisor and adjunct professor. All of that experience comes down to one thing: I know how complex relationships can be, and I know how to help couples find their way back to each other.
