Couples Therapy
Strong relationships are built brick by brick.
You want a relationship that feels trusting and connected. Right now, you feel misunderstood, distant, and stuck in a cycle of conflict that doesn’t serve either of you.
Healthy relationships don’t just happen. They are built brick-by-brick. Seeking couples therapy isn’t a sign of failure, it’s a sign of commitment and love
It is my joy to be a couples therapist. My mission is to help you and your partner co-create a fulfilling relationship and experience lasting change. I want to help both build a relationship that thrives, not just provide you with at temporary fix.
When you work with me, you can trust you have at therapist who genuinely cares for your relationship and is doing the work in their own life too.
I work with couples who are invested in their relationship and want to grow together, feel like a team, and deepen connection. If you’re committed to growth - even if it’s messy - I’m here to help you get to a more connected, secure place together.
I draw from my advanced training in leading couples therapy modalities, Gottman Method and Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to offer a balanced approach for each couple I work with.
The Gottman Method is a research based approach based on decades of studies of what makes a relationship succeed or fail. It focuses on enhancing friendship, managing conflict effectively, and creating shared meaning. The Gottman Method is a logical, practical couples therapy modality that provides couples with immediate tools to practice at home.
Relational Life Therapy helps each partner to recognize how their past wounds and personal histories are shaping their reactions in the cycle. Instead of continuing in knee-jerk reactions (like criticism, shutting down, or blaming), RLT emphasizes self-awareness and personal responsibility to help each partner take accountability for and move beyond their role in the the negative cycle.
Together we will work to…
Identify the cycle and gain insight into the patterns of your relationship.
Communicate effectively in ways that lead to connection instead of defensiveness.
Learn tools to handle conflict constructively.
Strengthen emotional safety so that vulnerability feels more natural.
Address unresolved wounds (both from your past and in the relationship) to create healing and deeper understanding.
Build rituals of connection to deepen friendship and emotional connection.
Couples therapy works best when:
Both partners are willing to look inward, not just focus on what the other is doing wrong.
You’re open to learning new ways of communicating, even if it feels unnatural at first.
You understand change takes effort and the real change happens at home when you’re applying what you’ve learned in therapy.
