About

You might be feeling stuck: caught in repetitive conflicts, growing emotional distance, or a sense that you are no longer on the same team. It might feel hard to know how to move forward or connect in a way that feels genuine and effective. When anxiety is present for one or both partners, it can show up as bigger reactions, more rigid patterns, and emotional weight that takes up a lot of time and energy. Therapy offers a supportive space to understand what is getting in the way, and begin doing things differently. With my advanced training in anxiety disorders (ERP, ICBT, ACT), I can help you better understand each other’s experiences, manage strong emotions, and interrupt cycles that escalate tension.

In my work with couples, I use the Gottman Method to bring structure, clarity, and direction to relationship dynamics that often feel overwhelming and emotionally charged. Clients value how actionable and research-backed the approach is, while still integrating connection, warmth, and your individual stories. Together, we focus on practical tools that support clearer communication, healthier conflict, and increase a sense of fun and appreciation in the relationship. You can leave therapy with a stronger understanding of yourselves and each other, and a renewed sense of hope for your path forward.

If you are curious about working together, you can schedule a free consult at the website listed above. I understand the importance of a therapist feeling like the right fit for the both of you – let’s start the conversation with a free, 15 minute meet and greet.
