Every relationship has a path — with twists, turns, and seasons you didn’t see coming.
Whether you're caught in the same conflict on repeat, feeling the distance grow, or facing something that's shaken your foundation — you deserve a space to figure out what comes next.
Most couples don't arrive in therapy when things are going well. They come when they've been hurting for a while. Whatever brings you here, the goal isn't to tell you where to land. It's to help you get clear — about each other, yourselves, and the path forward that feels right for both of you.
Couples therapy grounded in
research, and lived experience…
As a Level 2 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I use one of the most rigorously researched approaches to couples therapy available. We'll identify the specific patterns keeping you stuck, including the Four Horsemen (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling), and build their antidotes. We'll work on deepening friendship, rebuilding trust, and helping you understand each other more fully.
This work isn't to save the relationship at any cost. It's to rebuild the friendship at the center of it — so that whatever you decide, you decide it with clarity, honesty, and mutual respect.
We start with a thorough assessment of where you are, then build from there using the Gottman Sound Relationship House as our framework.
The PATHS model guides our progress:
P — Purposeful: Clarifying the values that anchor your partnership.
A — Action-Oriented: Practicing real skills — communication, repair, conflict management.
T — Tuned- In: Noticing and celebrating shifts as they happen.
H — Harmonic: Balancing individual needs with a shared life.
S — Self-Compassionate: Bringing kindness toward yourself and your partner.
All couples are welcome — regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or cultural background.
I’ve walked these paths…
I've been married for more than thirty years — and over those decades I've learned that long-term partnership and friendship is far more complicated than anyone tells you at the beginning. My husband and I have navigated grief, loss, shifting identities, and the weight of raising a large family together.
What I've come to believe is that friendship — real, honest, mutual friendship — is the thing that makes any outcome livable. That belief lives at the center of how I work with couples.
Whether you stay, grow, or part ways with dignity, the hope is that you know each other better on the other side of this path than when you began.
The path forward starts with truly seeing each other.
Let's work on it together.
