Couples who find themselves at crossroads or seeking to deepen their connection will find a supportive and focused partnership in me. Together, we can work towards rekindling your bond, improving communication, and rediscovering the love that brought you together. I also extend a warm welcome to individuals and couples from alternative lifestyle communities, offering a safe, non-judgmental space where every voice is heard, and every story is respected.

Of the various marriage and couple therapies and models I have studied, I gravitate to the behavioral and emotion-centered approaches namely: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). In terms of the behavioral approaches, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its “spin-offs” provide a wealth of applicability and contextual viability. In addition, I am attracted to this approach as a practitioner due to its high level of empirical validation.

Couples need therapy too! That's right. I will help each partner find balance own balance within themselves, to help them to see clearly, and iron out personal troubles. Then the couple will begin therapies together and both will be much better at understanding and mending what seemed to once be broken.
You work hard in your relationships with others to make sure they are happy and their needs are met. You put effort into planning events and making sure the bonds remain intact. You struggle with resentment, because you don't feel your efforts are noticed or appreciated. You hesitate to voice your needs or feelings because you don't want to upset them or risk losing the relationship. You desperately want to be seen by those you love but you're not sure how to take the next step and overcome the fear. I'll work with you to gain the confidence to voice your needs and set boundaries so they can be met. You deserve to be seen and be an equal in your relationship and I can help you get there.

After the honeymoon phase wears off, most couples don't realize their arguements follow a specific pattern and, if they do, don't know how to get out of the dance to come to a happier and more peaceful connected resolution. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (by Sue Johnson) has been well researched and has a 75-95% success rate. Gottman education and interventions is more left-brained but also highly successful.
