About

As a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, I specialize in helping couples who feel stuck in repeated arguments, emotional distance, or unresolved hurt. Many partners come in wanting to communicate more clearly, feel closer, or rebuild trust after disconnection or conflict. I offer structured, research-based support to help you understand patterns, restore safety, and strengthen your emotional bond. I also incorporate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused work to support each couple’s unique needs with clarity, practical tools, and warmth. I offer structured, evidence-based couples therapy to help you understand conflict patterns, communicate more effectively, and rebuild trust. We’ll strengthen emotional connection, navigate sensitive topics with more safety, and create practical skills to support lasting, meaningful change in your relationship.
