About

Is the joy you once had together slipping away? One of the most painful experiences in life is feeling bitterness and animosity for the person you love. Sometimes instead of partners in life you feel like adversaries. Perhaps days, or weeks, or even months go by when you don’t feel a special bond at all anymore.

Feeling angry at, insecure with, or threatened by someone you trust and committed yourself to can easily overwhelm your mind and body. It may trigger past traumas all the way from your childhood, through past relationships, and into previous events from your current relationship. Most of us have never been taught the right communication and calming skills to prevent and overcome this process but couples therapy can change this.

No one in history understood these problems as well as we do now, and quality couples therapy will help you identify exactly what isn’t working as well as provide guidance on how to repair it. I'm here to guide you through using the skills safely so you can practice hashing things out in a much more constructive way than you have been. You will receive all the information you need to then practice these same skills on your own in between sessions.

I will help you address anything that is getting between the two of you such as emotional disconnect, perpetual problems and disagreements, parenting concerns, affairs and other betrayals, mental illness, and substance use.

As someone who has been married for 10 years now, I understand how important a healthy marriage really is. I'm passionate about helping others achieve the same success with intimacy, bonding, conflict resolution, and communication that has been so enormously valuable and fulfilling in my own life.

I am competent working with many types of couples including heterosexual, LGTBQIA+, neurodivergent, struggling with trauma, substance use concerns, religious or nonreligious, and open or monogamous. I provide a safe, accepting, positive environment for all.
