Gottman Referral Network

About

Couples usually come to me when they feel stuck in patterns they have not been able to change on their own.

You may love one another deeply and still find yourselves having the same arguments, struggling to communicate without becoming defensive or shutting down, carrying hurts that never seem fully resolved, or feeling increasingly disconnected despite your best efforts.

I specialize in helping couples work through persistent conflict, communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, trust injuries, and difficult relationship experiences that have become hard to move beyond.

My approach is warm, direct, compassionate, and strategic. I help couples slow down the cycle they are caught in, understand what is happening beneath the conflict, and develop practical ways to communicate, repair, reconnect, and make meaningful changes in their relationship.

For some couples, the injury includes infidelity or another significant betrayal. This is an area of particular passion and specialization in my work. Betrayal can destabilize nearly every part of a relationship, and I help couples navigate both the immediate crisis and the deeper work of rebuilding trust, safety, and connection when reconciliation is desired.

I am Level 3 trained in the Gottman Method and integrate Gottman interventions with attachment-based approaches and other evidence-informed methods. Rather than relying on one model alone, I tailor the work to the couple, the problem they are facing, and what will help them move forward.

Couples therapy does not have to be endless conversations about what is wrong. I help couples better understand the patterns keeping them stuck and create a clearer path toward the relationship they want to build.
