About
Is your relationship different from what you imagined? Do you long for more love, respect, and friendship with your partner? Do you feel lonely together? Are you considering marriage but unsure your relationship is as healthy as it could be? Are you separated or thinking about divorce? Has a betrayal left a hurt you can't move past?
You don't have to figure this out alone. I'd love to help you and your partner build a deeper, more fulfilling, and lasting connection.
As a Certified Gottman Therapist trained directly by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, I've seen how quickly couples gain insight into each other and begin rebuilding a loving bond. The Gottman Method helps couples manage conflict, heal from betrayal, repair old hurts, and build shared dreams for the future.
I was drawn to this work because it's grounded in decades of research with thousands of couples, and the tools are practical, clear, and simply make sense.
Clients tell me they feel at ease with my gentle yet direct style. I offer sessions in person and through secure, HIPAA-compliant video, so you can meet with me from the comfort of home. Please call or email to talk about your situation.
I earned my B.S. in Psychology from the University of Iowa and my M.A. in Counseling from Loyola University Chicago, and I've been in the field for over 25 years. I'm also a Certified Discernment Counselor through the Doherty Institute.
I truly love what I do, and I believe any relationship can benefit from the Gottman Method.
