About
If you’re reading this, something in your relationship probably feels stuck, painful, or urgent. You may be repeating the same arguments, feeling increasingly distant, or worried that what you’re doing now isn’t working. Many of the couples and individuals I work with arrive feeling confused, overwhelmed, or discouraged by past attempts at therapy that felt too vague or slow to help.
My work is structured, focused, and grounded in the Gottman Method. I don’t simply listen and reflect. I help you understand what is actually happening in your relationship, why certain patterns keep repeating, and what specific changes make a difference. We work with clear concepts, practical tools, and an explicit map of how relationships become stable, connected, or distressed.
The first session is not about blaming, venting, or diagnosing. It is a focused conversation designed to slow things down, clarify what’s happening between you, and decide what kind of help would actually be useful. Some couples continue into skills-based work around communication, conflict, trust, or emotional safety. Others use the process to gain clarity about next steps. Either way, the goal is to move out of stuckness and into something more workable and grounded.
I work with couples and with individuals who are trying to understand or change a relationship they care about. I offer therapy, not coaching, and my work is evidence-informed, practical, and emotionally attuned. I pay close attention to emotional safety, pacing, and whether the work is actually helping rather than simply continuing.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, structured approach to relationship therapy that goes beyond talking and toward real change, you’re in the right place.
After clicking through, you’ll find an orientation page that explains what the first session is like and how scheduling works.
