THERAPY WITH ME

I focus on helping couples slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and recognize the patterns that are keeping them stuck. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in evidence based practices like the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy. I take an active role in session and work alongside both partners to create a supportive space for honest communication and meaningful change.

My work centers on the strengths already present in the relationship and the potential of each partner. I help couples identify and clearly communicate their needs, take accountability where needed, and build an intentional partnership where both people feel seen, heard, respected, and valued.

I offer practical tools, language, and skills that support steady progress and long term growth. My goal is to help couples build a stronger foundation so they can maintain a healthy, connected, and thriving relationship well beyond our work together.
