Gottman Method
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
You’re smart, capable, and committed but... your relationship still feels harder than it should. You want to stop having the same old disagreements and feel close again. You long for connection, affection, and ease, but you’re not sure how to get there from here.
That’s where couples therapy can help.
Imagine finally getting unstuck and repairing old hurts. Picture saying things in a way so your partner actually hears you. You CAN build a relationship that feels safe, playful, passionate, and grounded in mutual respect. This isn’t a fantasy. It’s the outcome of doing the right kind of work, with the right kind of support.
I work with couples who love each other but are caught in painful cycles. Whether you’re high-achieving professionals with no time for each other, navigating neurodiversity in your relationship, recovering from betrayal, or just longing for more intimacy and connection, I can help. My approach is structured, creative, and grounded in years of experience helping couples rebuild, reconnect, and reimagine what’s possible.
You don’t have to settle for a relationship that just “looks good on paper.”

Gottman Method
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I work with high achievers, professionals, executives, and driven individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in constant overthinking. You may be managing career pressure, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, relationship stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Even when things look successful from the outside, it can feel exhausting to keep pushing while privately second-guessing yourself.
My approach is practical, direct, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life. We will work on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, building confidence in your decisions, improving boundaries, managing stress more effectively, and creating a healthier relationship with work, achievement, and responsibility. The goal is not just insight, but real progress.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.
