If you're reading this late at night, unable to sleep because of what you found on your partner's phone, or because the person lying next to you feels like a stranger, I want you to know you've come to the right place. Relationship pain can make you feel unsteady and alone. You don't have to sort it out by yourself.
I'm warm, honest, and grounded, and I won't hand you a workbook or a script of communication techniques. Instead, I'll listen closely to what's happening underneath the words: the hurt beneath the anger, the longing beneath the distance, the fear beneath the silence.
Here is what I believe. Romantic love is meant to be a refuge, a place where you feel wanted, understood, and safe. When couples fight constantly, drift apart, or carry quiet resentment, something has come between them. Our work is to find it, understand it, and clear it away so closeness can return.
An affair is a different kind of injury. It doesn't just come between partners; it shakes the ground they stand on. If you're facing infidelity, we'll start by steadying the crisis. Then we'll work, carefully and at a pace you can manage, toward the hardest task in couples therapy: rebuilding trust. I'll be honest with you that this isn't always possible. When it is, I'll help you get there. When it isn't, I'll help you part with clarity and dignity.
If you've been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner or family member, our work will be individual, because couples therapy isn't safe in that situation. Together, we'll make sense of what you lived through and help you trust your own mind again.
My approach is attachment-based and guided by The Intimacy Bond™, a framework I developed from more than a decade of work with couples. In plain terms, it means I pay close attention to two things: how emotionally connected you feel, and how physically close and desired you feel. When both are strong, a relationship can weather almost anything.
