Couples therapy for partners who want thoughtful, structured support and more than surface-level conversations.
Secure a consult
You are looking for something different
You are tired of repeating arguments that go nowhere
Not feeling heard and constant miscommunication leaves you drained.
You wonder if you are just roommates.
As a Relationship Specialist, I focus on creating new and different experiences that start in the therapy room and last outside of it
I provide longer (75 & 90-minute) sessions for couples. Research shows this is best practice & it helps you get to connection more quickly.
I don't give cookie-cutter advice or avoid elephants in the room. I use Evidence-Based models of Emotionally Focused Couples therapy and Gottman Method to get to the root of the pattern.
Move beyond surface-level couples therapy
My client is your relationship.
My goal: To work myself out of a job, because when your relationship grows stronger, you both do.
Secure a consult
My approach to couples therapy is structured and grounded in research-supported methods, including the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I focus on identifying the patterns that drive disconnection and use evidence-based assessment to understand what keeps your relationship stuck and how to move it forward.
What Does the process look like?
The
Assessment Phase
We start with a 90-minute deep dive into your relationship. I want to understand your history and your difficulties.
Between sessions you and your partner take a comprehensive relationship assessment from the Gottman Institute.
We then have two individual sessions (one with each of you). I want to understand YOU because you are part of the relationship.
In the third session, we review your personalized couple’s assessment, brainstorm goals, and I provide my thoughts on what I am seeing.
the treatment phase
My goal is to work myself out of a job.
I offer 75 and 90-minutes with couples and partnerships to get you healing faster.
We get to work. We will work to stop your patterns and give you tools to change.
I use the two most widely researched and successful approaches to couples therapy, The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
