Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of relentless arguments, struggling with issues like trust, communication breakdowns, or a lack of emotional intimacy? Perhaps the challenges you're facing have led to a sense of frustration, leaving you both questioning the viability of your relationship. It's not uncommon for couples to find themselves navigating through a maze of challenges—be it financial stress, parenting conflicts, or the pressures of busy lives. Do you find yourself thinking negatively about your relationship and wonder if this is as good as it gets?
In the midst of life's demands, it's easy for couples to feel overwhelmed and lose sight of the deep connection that initially brought them together. However, there is hope. Through counseling, you can reignite the passion, strengthen your bond, and build a more resilient foundation for your relationship. Imagine a life where communication is fluid, understanding is profound, and conflicts become opportunities for growth rather than sources of distress.
The Gottman Method is rooted in decades of research and has proven to be highly effective in helping couples achieve lasting positive change. Through this evidence-based approach, you will gain invaluable insights into the dynamics of your relationship, learn practical tools for effective communication, and discover ways to nurture emotional intimacy.
Embarking on this journey together is a courageous step towards a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship. Take the first step towards a revitalized relationship and reach out. I offer a complementary 15-minute consultation session for you to get to know me and ask any questions you may have. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor in the counseling field. Throughout this time, I taught and supervised countless counseling trainees. I am enthusiastic about directly applying the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to help guide you toward a more fulfilling life.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I work on both ends of the relationship funnel - those going in , those stuck in the middle and those going out. Relationship dynamics are complicated but building the connection is easy. Through building communication skills and listening techniques, it is possible to see things clearly. I use CBT, CCT and EFT to effectively cut through emotional clutter to get you back on track.

Tracy Sondern
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT #135825
I enjoy working with couples and helping them to reconnect. It brings me joy to see a couple “graduate”. I am trained in The Gottman Couples Method, a science-based method developed by John and Julie Gottman. John Gottman created the Love Lab in the 1970’s where he studied real couples. The result was that he could predict with 90% accuracy who would stay together and who would divorce and why. Because of this, it is a highly effective method of helping couples remedy the problems that have developed in their relationships, and I have seen how effective it is in my own practice. Aside from this training, I bring a wealth of lived experience to my work. At 61, I have been married for 32 years and have experience with many of the life issues that affect couples such as cancer, infertility and adoption.
