couples therapy
Relationships are where we feel our greatest joy—and our deepest pain. When communication breaks down, trust is strained, or conflict becomes repetitive and exhausting, couples often feel stuck in patterns they don’t know how to change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist trained in the Gottman Method, I help couples move out of cycles of conflict and disconnection and back toward safety, understanding, and emotional closeness.
The Gottman Approach
The Gottman Method is a highly respected, research-based approach to couples therapy grounded in decades of study on what makes relationships succeed—or fail. This model focuses on:
Improving communication and conflict management
Strengthening friendship, intimacy, and emotional connection
Increasing trust, respect, and shared meaning
Reducing criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt
Creating sustainable, long-term relationship change
Rather than simply talking about problems, we work with clear tools and structured interventions that help couples understand why conflict happens and how to respond differently.
Who I Work With:
I work with couples at many stages, including:
Couples feeling disconnected or emotionally distant
High-conflict couples who feel stuck in repetitive arguments
Couples navigating life transitions, stress, or parenting challenges
Partners seeking to strengthen an already solid relationship
Couples wanting a more intentional, conscious, and resilient partnership
A Grounded, Relational Experience
My approach integrates Gottman research with relational and nervous-system awareness, allowing couples to slow down, feel understood, and practice new ways of being together in real time.
If you’re seeking couples therapy that is evidence-based, compassionate, and focused on lasting change, Gottman Method–informed work may be a strong fit.
How I Work With Couples:
Couples therapy with me is active, thoughtful, and emotionally attuned. I provide a balanced, supportive space where both partners feel heard while also gently challenging patterns that are no longer serving the relationship.
Our work may include:
Identifying recurring conflict cycles
Strengthening emotional attunement and repair
Learning practical communication and conflict skills
Rebuilding trust after rupture or betrayal
Deepening intimacy and shared goals
This process is collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on helping couples feel safer and more connected—both inside and outside the therapy room.
