Marriage Counseling

You love your partner, but lately it seems like you're snapping at each other more than ever and everyone is walking on eggshells. You feel disconnected and distant, and you wonder if you'll ever feel close to your partner again. You want things to get better, but you don't know where to start. I help couples who are feeling disconnected and anxious, but providing a roadmap to strengthen your relationship and strategies to improve your communication.

I provide a compassionate environment for couples seeking marriage counseling. Together, we navigate communication barriers, rebuild trust, and foster deeper connection. Through collaborative strategies and empathy, we work towards restoring harmony and creating a fulfilling partnership.

Whether you are contemplating getting married or have been married for many years, let me guide you and your partner towards mutual understanding, greater clarity, trust, and communication. I am a level 3 trained Gottman therapist with additional training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I have studied the Gottman method and spent the last 5 years really focusing on this particular treatment area. I have studied and employed an array of techniques and have found my work with individuals and couples facing relationship challenges or wanting to lay a solid relationship foundation incredibly rewarding! I have also trained in EFT another evidence based approach to couples therapy that is very effective.

Spouses come to me when they are struggling with communication, ongoing conflict, feelings of loneliness, and discontent. I have experience working with married couples to repair frustrated bonds and build a more satisfying marriage. I use attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, and interventions from the Gottman method.

We often think relationships should be easy but the truth is they are a lot of work and if we are struggling in our relationships, we likely didn't have the best teachers of what relationships should look like in our childhoods. When working with couples I focus on improving communication, developing a stable support system and teaching productive ways to work through difficult problems so each person feels they are heard and respected.

My therapeutic approach to couples therapy combines the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) while incorporating Solution-Focused methods. During our work, we will identify both the strengths and areas for growth within your relationship to discover the unique qualities that brought you and your partner together. We will develop foundational communication skills, you will feel empowered to establish healthy boundaries and express your needs.

Whether you are contemplating getting married or have been in one for many years, let me guide you and partner towards greater clarity, trust, and communication.

Chosen relationships are at the very heart of what makes life meaningful and can be a source of boundless joy. It is only natural for fights to break out, for old wounds to throb, and for resentment to build. I will commit myself to helping everyone involved operate in accordance with their values and truest feelings; with their highest Self. From that place of authenticity and strength, I believe that what can go right between you, will.

Working with couples in non-monogamous and monogamous relationships is one of the most incredible experiences. I treat couples through the lens of Esther Perel's work as well as the Gottman's research.

We offer couples therapy for those who are currently struggling with significant conflict in their relationship, or those who are wanting to deepen their connection with their partner.

I have a Master's Degree in Psychology with an emphasis on families. Most of my training is in Marriage and Family Therapy. I help many couples stay together...or successfully and peacefully transition their relationship.

All romantic relationships go through ups and downs, and they all take work, commitment, and a willingness to adapt and change as your partners grow and each of your needs change. But whether your relationship is just starting out or you’ve been together for years, there are steps you can take to build a healthy relationship.

I utilize somatic, CBT, and compassion-focused approaches to helping clients in this area.
