About My Clients
Feeling disconnected, wondering if your communication problems will ever be solved, wanting your needs to be met - these are the thoughts many of us choose to avoid discussing with our partners because it feels deeply uncomfortable . I help couples learn powerful, practical, research-based techniques to openly talk about what's most important to them, & to manage conflict so that it doesn't boil over. These invested couples acquire the skills to forever change their relationships for the better.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am one of only a small percentage of qualified marriage therapists in the U.S. who has undergone extensive training with other Licensed Marriage & Family Therapists in a clinical setting and who has taken classes in marriage therapy at an accredited university. When working with couples in my current practice, I use a secular approach based on 40 years of scientific research with thousands of couples created by Drs. Julie and John Gottman. Their approach is called the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. The training I have received in this method allows me to provide practical, research—based tools to help couples build long lasting relationships and enhance emotional connections.
