My Approach to Therapy

Happiness often seems reserved for others, while your efforts to move forward feel like they're only taking you backwards. Regret and difficult choices can leave you feeling trapped in hopelessness, as though you've explored every avenue yet remain lost. You're ready for change, but you're unsure where to begin. As a couples therapist trained in the Gottman Method, I specialize in helping couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. I teach couples clear, effective communication and ensure they understand the profound impact of their words and actions. My approach is neutral, I'm here to support the relationship, holding both individuals accountable for their contributions and pushing them to make real, lasting changes. I take my work seriously, as you do your relationship, and I'm committed to guiding you both toward improvement via tangible, evidence-based, common-sense-driven techniques and skills. My clients often express their appreciation for my ability to be warm and transparent, and my willingness to challenge clients when appropriate. Whether you are a couple seeking to work through difficult times, an individual seeking to delve into your concerns, or someone just curious about therapy, feel free to email or message me if you have any questions.
