Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? Do conversations seem to turn into arguments, or do you feel hurt, unappreciated, or misunderstood?
Relationships can go through difficult periods. Whether you're navigating recurring conflict, differences in expectations, parenting challenges, financial concerns, or changes in intimacy, couples therapy offers an opportunity to understand one another and explore new possibilities for your relationship.
I help couples shift their focus from ongoing problems toward their hopes for the future. Together, we explore what you want your relationship to look like, identify your existing strengths, and work toward creating more connection, understanding, and fulfillment.
How Couples Therapy Can Help
- Communication difficulties or recurring arguments.
- Feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or unappreciated.
- Trust concerns or the impact of infidelity.
- Conflicts about finances, parenting, household responsibilities, or in-laws.
- Differences in expectations, needs, or intimacy.
- A desire to strengthen an already meaningful relationship.
My Therapeutic Approaches
My primary approach is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Solution-Focused Couples Therapy. Rather than focusing exclusively on what is going wrong, we explore what you would like your relationship to become.
Through thoughtful questions and conversations, I help each partner describe their hopes, recognize their strengths, and imagine what a more fulfilling relationship could look like.
We then explore how those strengths and preferred changes can help you move toward the future you want to create.
My work is also informed by the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, attachment, emotional regulation, mindfulness, positive psychology, and other approaches tailored to your needs and goals.

A Compassionate, Hope-Focused Approach
I understand how painful relationship difficulties can be. Having experienced challenging times in my own relationship, I appreciate how difficult it can be to find a way forward when you feel stuck.
My role is to listen carefully, help you express what matters to you, and guide conversations toward your hopes, preferences, and strengths.
I warmly welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. My intention is to provide a respectful, inclusive, and affirming space where you can explore your relationship and the changes you would like to make.
