About

Relationships don’t fall apart overnight—it happens in the missed moments of connection, the unresolved conversations, and the slow erosion of trust. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same arguments without resolution. Maybe one or both of you feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally distant. Or maybe you’re in a season of transition—new parenthood, career shifts, or health challenges—that has shaken the foundation of your relationship. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I help couples break out of frustrating cycles and build stronger, more connected relationships using the research-backed Gottman Method. Therapy isn’t about picking sides—it’s about understanding what’s beneath the conflict, learning how to communicate in ways that bring you closer instead of pushing you apart, and creating a relationship that feels fulfilling and supportive for both of you. Whether you’re struggling with trust, intimacy, parenting stress, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to help you find clarity and a new way forward.

You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to seek support. Small changes can make a big difference, and the sooner you start, the more options you have. I offer a free 15-minute meet and greet so we can see if we’re a good fit—let’s start the conversation.
