Don't Let Conflict Define Your Bond & Rediscover the Spark

Many couples sense they're in a rut but can't pinpoint the cause. They often harbor grudges, lose optimism, or feel stuck in a relationship that seems doomed to either fizzle out or remain unhappy. Your relationship doesn't have to stay stuck or become a disheartening statistic.

In reality, our therapists can identify with 94% accuracy which relationships are likely to falter. This means that, alongside your therapist, you'll uncover the specific reasons your relationship is struggling. We'll collaborate with you to address these issues and help you achieve the relationship or marriage you once envisioned.

When both partners are fully invested in the therapy process, the Association of Marriage and Family Therapy reports a satisfaction rate of up to 98% for couples in counseling. We're committed to helping you be among those satisfied couples.

Relationship Therapy

Having a strong relationship needs nurturing, just as your personal well-being. When things get complicated, you may benefit from seeing a therapist who specializes in relationship therapy to gain a fresh perspective on ways you can create a positive energy within your life and your relationship.

In 2023, I became a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, incorporating John Gottman's groundbreaking research into my practice. This approach is backed by extensive studies involving thousands of couples and offers proven techniques to differentiate happy couples from unhappy ones in long-term relationships.

My specialty areas include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and coping with life's challenges, as well as addressing sex and relationship issues. I have a particular knack for helping couples navigate the complexities of infidelity and conflict. My approach aims to empathize with the emotional turmoil involved and guide couples toward healing and constructive decision-making.

Signs Your Relationship Is In Trouble And Needs Help

There are several signs you can look for in your relationship that suggest you need professional help with couples counseling. Do you have any of these in your relationship?

  • Your discussions often start off harsh and critical

  • You or your partner often criticize each other

  • There are signs of contempt in the relationship, such as eye-rolling

  • Arguments often turn defensive, with one partner blaming the other for the problems

  • Communication comes to a complete stop, and the silent treatment

  • Emotional flooding and poor body language during arguments

  • Unresolved conflicts that have never been repaired

  • Negative memories are more present than positive ones

How It Works

Starting with our initial intake (first session), you will meet with your therapist on a schedule that works for you. Together, I will design a care plan just for you, and as your therapist, I will track and measure your progress to ensure that you are and can meet all your goals for your therapy.

Please note: Due to COVID-19, I am offering all sessions virtually until further notice.
