Gottman Referral Network

About

High-conflict couples often arrive in therapy exhausted by the same arguments, growing distance, or the feeling that every difficult conversation turns into defensiveness, shutdown, blame, or emotional escalation. You may love one another and still feel stuck in a painful cycle where neither partner feels heard, understood, or secure.
I provide structured, evidence-based couples therapy for partners who want to understand what is happening beneath the conflict and make meaningful changes in how they relate. As a Level 3 Trained Gottman Method therapist, I help couples identify their specific conflict patterns, reduce reactivity, communicate more clearly, repair after hurt, and rebuild emotional connection.
Our work is not limited to learning better communication scripts. We look closely at the cycle that takes over during conflict: the fears, protective responses, unmet needs, and past relational experiences that can make small moments feel so charged. From there, we build practical skills for navigating hard conversations, setting boundaries, expressing needs directly, and responding to one another with more clarity and respect.
Couples may seek support for recurring arguments, emotional distance, trust injuries, resentment, major life transitions, differences in parenting or finances, difficulty recovering after conflict, or feeling like they have become opponents rather than partners. Sessions offer a focused space to slow the cycle down and create a more stable foundation for repair.
I provide online couples therapy for adults located in Tennessee and Nevada. Couples sessions are 90 minutes to allow adequate time to address complex dynamics without rushing the process. My approach is direct, thoughtful, and grounded in the belief that the health of your relationship deserves specialized care.
