counseling for
couples
Welcome! If you are looking for help with your relationship, you are in the right place.
Does life with your partner look different then you imagined on your wedding day? Maybe there is no peace in your home because you are constantly bickering with each other? Are you worried to bring up issues because it always ends up in a blowout? Is the person you once loved and adored now a source of pain and stress? Maybe there has been a betrayal of trust that has made it impossible to move forward and find joy with each other? Is it difficult to enjoy your children and spouse because of the demands and stressors of raising children, working, and running a household? Has there been a loss of passion and intimate connection between you? Perhaps you feel like you are simply roommates.
You are worthy and deserving of a life-giving relationship. We all yearn to belong to someone, to a person who accepts and loves us unconditionally. We have an intrinsic desire to create a beautiful life with our partner, a life rich with love, adventure and soul satisfying contentment. So often, destructive patterns take hold to prevent your relationships from reaching their potential and meeting our deepest needs. I believe in the power of therapy to heal relationships. I also believe in the power of couples fighting for their love. When the two come together, magical things happen.
If any of these scenarios are your reality, I would love to help bring healing, peace and intimacy back to your relationship. Through a warm, supportive therapeutic relationship, I use the Gottman Method to aid in moving you from the path to divorce to a pathway of hope.

The Gottman method
I use the Gottman Method in my couples work. John Gottman has been researching couples for 40 years. John and his wife, Julie, created the Gottman Method based on their findings of what makes a couple succeed or fail. I incorporate this method, along with a warm, client-centered and emotion focused approach, to help bring greater connection, healing and peace to your relationship.
The quality of our lives is largely determined by the quality of our relationships. Sometimes the idea of a happy and thriving relationship feels impossible, like you are standing in front of an enormous mountain somebody is expecting you to climb. I am here to guide you over that mountain. Through therapy, we will work as a team to help you achieve greater peace and joy in your relationship and your life.
