I work with couples to increase responsiveness, trust, and intimacy in relationships. I help partners see how each of their behaviors impact and influence their partner's reactions and how the combination of these reactions lead to self-perpetuating cycles that continue to hurt the relationship. Together we work on skills to decrease blame and defensiveness, increase understanding and responsiveness, and create healing. Premarital counseling also available, and includes important research-based information and insight regarding how reasons for marrying may have implications for the success of the union.

Couples counseling helps partners better understand one another, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and communicate more effectively during conflict or disconnection. Through a supportive, structured process, couples often develop stronger emotional awareness, improved communication skills, and tools for repairing trust. Over time, many experience greater closeness, increased empathy, and a more secure, collaborative relationship—allowing them to navigate challenges with clarity, respect, and mutual support.

When working with couples, I use talk therapy, a family systems approach, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Working with couples is unique and can be complex. It is important to examine each person as an individual, help them become their best self and then work on ways to help them grow together as a unit. It is to be noted that it is difficult to achieve progress with couples therapy if both parties are not fully committed to the therapy process.

I work with dating couples, married couples, and family couples (mother/daughter & father/son). Together we work to find greater awareness in who we are in relationships. We look at our own personality and experiences, other's personalities and experiences, and the relationship created within that. We identify boundaries, expectations, styles of living and loving, along with other personality factors that all play a vital role in relationships. We learn to come together rather than pull apart through our differences.

It's natural for conflict and other issues to arise in a couple since you're two separate people with your own histories and upbringings coming together in relationship. The key is being able to self-regulate through difficult emotions, and communicate about what's happening effectively with your partner. When you can both stay calm, you'll be able to find new solutions to the issues that have come up in your relationship. I'm here to support you in identifying the issues causing conflict in your relationship, getting to the root of them, communicating effectively about them, and coming up with solutions that work.
