Support to stop going in circles. Tools so you don’t have to keep running back to therapy.

I never want you to leave our sessions feeling criticized, blamed, or more confused than when you walked in. In our work, you can be straightforward about what’s been happening, and I’ll help slow things down so we can make sense of it.

I bring structure and direction to conversations that may have felt chaotic for a long time, drawing from approaches specifically designed to help couples meet in the middle, like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Having the framework to make these conversations productive often feels like a relief in and of itself, because the path forward becomes clearer than it’s ever been. You can learn more about these methods on my Couples Therapy page.

I won’t take sides, ignore one of you, or paint one person as the problem. Both of your experiences matter here, and both of you deserve the space to say what’s been hard to put into words.

At the same time, it takes two to tango—which means both of you will need to show up, be honest, and be willing to do the work if things are going to change. I’ll meet each of you where you are and help you move toward hearing and understanding each other in a different way.

This work is not just about talking through what happened and hoping next week goes better. You’ll learn practical tools you can use in the moment, like how to take a breather before a conversation spirals into conflict, how to say what you need more clearly, and how to come back together after things go off track.

I’ll also give you things to practice between sessions, because the real work happens in your day-to-day life, not just in my office. The goal is to give you a toolbox you can keep coming back to for whatever life throws at you, so you don’t have to be in therapy forever.

No two couples are dealing with the exact same thing, even if the arguments may look similar on the surface. Sometimes, I’m helping a couple work through the aftermath of betrayal, the impact of porn, alcohol, or marijuana use or other behaviors that have broken trust, or feelings from the past that are getting stirred up in the present. And sometimes, these things don’t even register as the underlying issue until we look at them together.

Part of my job is reading between the lines and noticing what may not be getting said directly, because that’s often where these details come out. In some cases, I may meet with one of you individually for a few sessions to work through trauma, addiction, or something else that has been making it harder for the two of you to move forward together. If something like this comes up in our work, we’ll decide the best approach to navigating it based on what’s best for both of you—and the relationship as a whole.
