Supporting healthy, connected relationships

Relationships can bring both deep connection and real strain. Couples often seek therapy when they feel disconnected or stuck in recurring conflicts and may be unsure how to move forward together. Therapy can be helpful during times of transition or crisis, as well as when long-standing patterns start to feel unsustainable.

I work with married and unmarried couples from a wide range of backgrounds, including same-sex couples and couples navigating cultural or religious differences. My approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, a research-based model that focuses on strengthening trust, communication, and emotional connection. In therapy, couples learn how to approach conflict differently, communicate more clearly, and repair after disagreements.

In addition to the Gottman Method, I integrate mindfulness and self-compassion strategies to help couples notice emotional reactions as they arise, tolerate difficult conversations, and respond with greater care for themselves and their partner. These skills can be especially helpful during conflict, when strong emotions make it hard to stay connected or feel understood.

Couples therapy is also a space to better understand the patterns that shape your relationship and decide how you want to move forward—whether that means strengthening your partnership or navigating change with clarity and care. Together, we work toward building a relationship that feels more connected, resilient, and intentional.
