What I Believe About Relationship Therapy:

Relationships are complex, and every couple’s journey is unique. With my experience, advanced training and specialization in couples evidence-based methods, I work with couples to address challenges, strengthen their bond, and create a vision for their future.

Turning Conflict into Connection

Conflict doesn’t have to divide you, it can be a powerful opportunity for growth. Together, we’ll uncover the unmet needs or emotions behind disagreements and learn to navigate conflict in a way that strengthens your relationship. Using techniques from evidences-based Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, I help couples transform tension into deeper intimacy.

Balancing Partnership and Individuality

Healthy relationships are all about balance. Both partners need to feel supported as individuals while also working together as a team. When one person’s needs are overlooked or personal growth gets pushed aside, it can create tension, resentment, or distance.

As a couples therapist, I see this a lot, especially with big life transitions like becoming parents. There’s always that pull between “me” and “us.” It’s not about choosing one over the other—it’s about finding a way to honor both. With my background in maternal mental health, I help couples navigate balance. Through honest conversations and practical exercises, we work on strengthening your connection while making sure each partner feels valued and cared for. When both of you are thriving, your relationship will, too.

Empowering Couples to Choose Their Path

For couples who feel uncertain or stuck, I offer guidance and support in creating a relationship map that explores values, goals, and challenges. This approach, inspired by discernment counseling, gives you the autonomy and agency to choose the direction of your relationship. Whether that means working through issues together or deciding to separate with clarity and confidence.

Whether you move forward together or apart through separation and divorce counseling, the choice is yours, and I’ll be there to guide you through each step.
