Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Is your relationship stuck in the same argument loop every night? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner?
All things can be improved, changed and bettered, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, and get what you want out of your relationship.
I love my work as a marriage and family therapist. My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionately direct. I’m incredibly fortunate to witness my clients transform their lives, sometimes when the outcome looks dark and unchangeable.
Our romantic relationships are the nucleus of our lives and can be the source of our deepest happiness and our greatest pain. When our relationship is healthy and thriving we can feel and see the impact in every area of our life. Likewise, when the relational conflict is intense we witness the negative impact on us as individuals, on our careers, and our children.
I don’t take lightly the importance of what we do when we meet.
Sitting with you, witnessing your pain, holding your hopes and dreams when you feel like you’ve lost it, and helping you in the process of finding a path back to each other is a genuine honor.
Couples therapy can be difficult, but my goal is always to make it as easy as possible. I will always give you the best of me. I’ll work hard – even when you’re exhausted and don’t know if you can do it anymore.
Even when I am direct, I’ll always hold your relationship with compassion and empathy and when appropriate, I will use humor to lighten the mood.
I generally use an eclectic approach of The Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and I lean heavily on my systemic training as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
Start the process of repairing what has been broken while also rebuilding fondness, admiration, intimacy, shared meaning, and rituals of connection today.

Ask Yourself: Is couple’s therapy what my relationship needs now? Many of my couples can answer yes to one or more of the following:
- Are we stuck in the same argument over and over (most couples have the same argument their entire marriage!)?
- Am I unsatisfied and long for more?
- Could we use tools and insights to help move through conflict more easily and quickly?
- Could my relationship benefit from a deeper connection?
- Do I feel resentful, frustrated, angry or discouraged in your relationship?
- Could we have more fun in our relationship?
- Has there been a recent betrayal, large or small?
- Do we wish you could communicate with each other more effectively?
- Do we have a good relationship but want to take it to the next level?
By using the Gottman Method for couple’s therapy, I help people develop the necessary skills needed to maintain sustaining love; and improve communication by finding solutions to those persisting problems that the relationship has quite possibly endured for many years.
