About My Clients
My ideal clients are couples and families who still care but feel stuck: the same fights on repeat, growing distance, broken trust after an affair or betrayal, or communication that turns into criticism and shutdown. I work well with busy professionals, couples in life transitions like new parenthood or blended families, and families navigating conflict with teens. If you want practical tools, not just talk, and you’re ready to do the work together, we’ll be a good fit.
My Background and Approach
Before becoming a therapist, I spent 25 years as a leadership coach, helping people communicate under pressure, navigate conflict, and stay connected to what matters. Along the way I saw how often busy, demanding lives quietly pull couples and families apart, and I wanted to help people find their way back. I’m trained in the Gottman Method (Levels 1, 2 & 3) and Emotionally Focused Therapy, two of the most researched approaches to couples work. Gottman gives us practical tools for managing conflict and rebuilding friendship; EFT helps us understand the emotions and needs underneath the fights. Together, they let us work on both what you do and why you do it. My style is warm, direct, and practical. You’ll leave sessions with something to try at home, not just insight. For couples who want deeper progress faster, I offer 90-minute intensives. I see clients in my Oklahoma City office, by video, or in your home, so therapy fits your life instead of adding to the strain.
