Couples
Therapy
For Adults
All services are provided via telehealth.
Love is an action word. Relationships take action and commitment. If you are here and you have tried to fix things on your own but are now searching for professional help before deciding to call it quits, I admire the continued work you are doing and the time you are taking to better understand yourself and your partner to build a solid foundation. That foundation you built from the beginning may look different as life goes on, relationship dynamics shift, and life changes occur. If you have lost that connection, I am here to provide hope for you that it can be reestablished.
By exploring your strengths as well as the areas you tend to get stuck, you can gain understanding of behaviors and mindsets that can shift to better serve you and those around you. This allows for a deeper connection of feeling seen, known, and understood. I take a gentle, but direct approach with the belief that no relationship can be built on a foundation of dishonesty. Even though talking about the most difficult parts of your relationship is hard, the largest transformation happens when we can look at ourselves and deconstruct the patterns that no longer work for you.
“Love without action is meaningless and action without love is irrelevant.”

What will Couples Therapy look like?
Similar to individual therapy, my work is skills based providing tools for the present while digging to understand the root cause from your past. I am trained in Gottman Method levels I and II and have advanced training in EMDR for Couples, both of which are evidence based techniques.
What is Gottman Method Couples Therapy?
The Gottman Method is a couples therapy approach based on the Sound Relationship House Theory, which is similar to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The theory suggests that a relationship's foundation is understanding each other's worlds, and that this understanding leads to other benefits like sharing fondness, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning.
The Gottman Method involves:
Relationship assessment
Tailored therapy to the couple’s challenges
Structured skills and exercises
Focus on positive interactions
The Gottman Method aims to help couples:
Disarm conflicting communication
Increase intimacy, respect, and affection
Remove barriers to feeling stagnant
Create a sense of empathy and understanding
