Marriage Counseling

I specialize in helping couples navigate codependency, attachment wounds, infidelity, and betrayal trauma. I help you develop skills so that you can feel seen and heard in your relationship. You will learn to repair your attachment wounds and move from distrust to deepened intimacy. You will begin to release codependency so that you can be deeply connected to your partner while remaining rooted in your own sense of self.

Some relationships have experienced difficulties through the pandemic. You may have drifted apart over the last few years and are struggling to re-connect. You could be wondering if you should stay together or separate. During our time together, we will discover what each of you want, and how to communicate this to one another in a loving and safe space. We will explore how your attachment styles may be showing up and affecting your relationship, while finding solutions.

Being able to authentically communicate our experience to a partner can reduce feelings of resentment and increase opportunities to resolve conflict. Identifying these specific feelings and developing communication skills help us express our needs and set healthy boundaries in relationships.

Relationships are suffering especially since covid, but there is hope. I've worked with hundreds of relationship types, not just marriages. We all need assistance some times because we are always individuals trying to connect with other individuals. So, through Brainspotting, CBT and Nerurofeedback, it's time to make our relationships better.

I effectively help couples create deeply harmonious, safe & secure relationships. You'll cultivate trust, transparency, authenticity, gratitude, vulnerability & accountability & learn what damages relationships. We’ll use EFT - emotionally focused therapy, NVC-non-violent communication - sharing feelings/needs, making requests & learn reflective/empathic listening, several “love practices”, repair skills, 4 guiding questions & many other tools.

It's 2024. Let's tackle the notion that LOVE is all that is needed to maintain a happy and thriving marriage. Healthy relationships benefit from self-awareness, emotional safety, and some elbow grease. Visit my website today and schedule a free consultation to work with me.

I am trained in multiple relationship modalities including emotionally focused therapy. I specialize in integrating traditional sex therapy methods with modern relationship therapy.



Our experience in couples counseling includes but is not limited to: infidelity, life changes (big or small), family building conversations, infertility, adoption, trust, financial planning, premarital counseling, blended families, and parenting styles. We are LGBTQIA+ affirming. We welcome all varieties of relationships, traditional and non-traditional. 

 Each therapist is a Level 1 Gottman Therapy Provider. We believe in using holistic assessments that then inform the therapeutic framewo

Understanding one’s wants and needs in relationships; exploring patterns of interaction, addressing concerns, and strengthening satisfaction in relationships and dating

Sometimes, it feels like you and your significant other speak different languages. Though you care about each other, it feels like the spark you once had has dulled—and there hasn’t been much romance or intimacy in a long time. Maybe this is because you’re walking on eggshells around each other, not having deep conversations like you used to, or even because of life changes. Whatever the cause, therapy can help you rebuild what you know about communication, reconnect, and reignite the spark.

Although, I treat relationship issues I only see individuals at this time. I feel I work well with everyone/anyone in a struggling relationship.

As an LMFT, I regularly treat couples struggling with a variety of issues, including but not limited to infidelity and trust issues, struggles with intimacy and communication, and coparenting. I run couples intensives, during which I meet with a couple for two to three days consecutively to facilitate faster change. I also run a premarital program-- Partnering Purposefully.

Do you miss your partner even though you see them all the time? Or maybe your relationship is thriving in the romance department but you can't seem to talk about the hard stuff. When your marriage is struggling, it's as though every area of your life is in turmoil. Every fiber of your being wants things to go back to normal, but it feels impossible to reconnect. That's where couples counseling comes in. Together, we open the door to important conversations while fostering deeper connection.

I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.

My practice is specific to couples therapy. Years ago, I discovered that I have an aptitude for helping couples understand their relational dynamics (and more importantly, what they can do to improve them). Trained in the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS/IFIO) and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I work hard create a safe space for each person in the relationship (whether it be a traditional relationship or non-traditional relationship).

Our most intimate relationships often have the biggest effect on our overall mental health, and I work with individuals & couples to try to understand each other & themselves on a deeper, emotional level. I welcome clients of every kind, and couples throughout the beginning, middle, or even ending of their relationships. I enjoy working with couples in the aging population, co-parenting, LGBTQIA+ community, and non-traditional dyads such as consensual non-monogamous (CNM).

Trust, intimacy, communication -- breakdowns in any of these can make satisfying long-term relationships difficult to sustain. I can help you explore the obstacles to a fulfilling partnership, and discuss frequent problems that occur, such as lack of transparency about money; differences in sexual desire; imbalances in division of labor; the push-pull between needing to be one's one person and needing to feel at-one with another.

Marriage Counseling requires an extra level of skill by the therapist. At our center we all use the research based Gottman Method of Couples Counseling. I am Certified and mentor all of our therapists who are trained by the Gottman Institute as well. This type of therapy helps you learn to communicate, resolve conflict, grow in intimacy, recover from an affair or betrayal, grow closer together, get on the same page and develop a health relationship.

During individual therapy, clients often wish to discuss how they can strengthen their premarital or marital relationships. I assist clients with exploring communication, forgiveness, and conflict resolution and anger management techniques. I help clients to explore solo self care AND partnered relationship-building activities. Attention is given to interdependence within a healthy significant relationship.

Maybe you're hoping to re-connect with a partner or loved one, improve assertive communication, establish healthy boundaries, or you realize it's time to break free from a relationship or situationship that's depleting your energy and confidence. We will process and work through anything and everything human connection related.
