About My Clients
You may love each other and still keep having the same argument. I work primarily with couples who want to understand the pattern beneath recurring conflict, rebuild trust after betrayal, strengthen communication and intimacy, or prepare for marriage and major transitions. I also work with families, teens, and individuals when relationships, trauma, recovery, grief, or life changes are part of the picture. You do not have to wait until the relationship is falling apart.
My Background and Approach
Grounded in dozens of hours of Gottman Level 1 & 2 Training—scoring 100% on both required exams—my work is relational, trauma-informed, and practical. We slow down the moments conversations go off the rails, identify the cycles underneath, and build communication and repair skills for ordinary life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should help you understand yourself without teaching you to see yourself as defective. Relationships are complicated because people are complicated. Two thoughtful, loving people can develop a painful interaction pattern without either person being the villain. I value curiosity over judgment, accountability without humiliation, and practical change over simply accumulating insight. I believe good therapy should eventually make itself less necessary: the goal is for you to develop a deeper understanding of your patterns and tools you can use without a therapist in the room. My style is engaged and collaborative. I will listen carefully, but I will also help us slow things down, identify patterns, ask difficult questions, and translate insight into something useful.
