I am deeply passionate about working with couples. No matter how long you’ve been together or how strong your relationship feels, there is always more to discover and more room for meaningful growth. My work isn’t only for couples in crisis—it’s also for those who want to enrich, deepen, and strengthen their relationship before challenges arise.

Healthy relationships are built on a solid foundation of truly knowing and understanding your partner. Many couples move quickly from the honeymoon stage into conflict simply because they never had the tools to understand the person they are building a life with entirely.

​

Although I am trained to provide therapy for individuals and families, my true specialty lies in helping committed couples navigate everyday challenges, communicate effectively, and build the kind of connection that can last a lifetime.

 

 

I am a Certified Gottman Therapist and have completed two years of advanced training in the Developmental Model with The Couples Institute. I integrate both the Gottman Method and the Developmental Model to help couples understand their patterns, reduce conflict, and build a more secure and fulfilling connection.

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy developed from over 40 years of scientific study by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It includes a comprehensive assessment of your relationship and uses research-driven interventions grounded in the Sound Relationship House Theory to strengthen friendship, improve conflict management, and create shared meaning.

​

The Developmental Model, created by Drs. Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson view relationships as a series of predictable developmental stages. As couples grow, they encounter challenges that test differentiation, emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and communication. The model helps partners understand these stages, reduce reactivity, and build a stronger sense of self within the relationship, ultimately fostering greater intimacy, respect, and teamwork.

If you are experiencing conflict in your relationship, there is always hope. Your challenges didn’t begin overnight, and lasting change takes time, intention, and a willingness to understand each other’s perspectives. With the right tools and guided support, meaningful transformation is possible.
