Couples Therapy

Relationships aren’t static; they shift and evolve, sometimes in ways we never expected. Some shifts - children, career change, illness, empty nest, or retirement, may come when one of you is ready for change and the other is not. When that happens, it’s easy to lose sight of one another, to go to your corners and become opponents.

​

I believe that even when couples feel stuck, there’s always a way forward—if they’re willing to listen, to be vulnerable, and to grow together.

​

Issues I work with:

​

  • Reconnection

  • Communication

  • Infertility and Adoption

  • Intimacy Issues

  • Financial Issues

  • Empty Nest

​

My approach isn’t about assigning blame—it’s about understanding.

I help couples recognize unhelpful patterns, express their needs openly, and develop tools to strengthen their relationship. When both partners feel seen and supported, real change happens.

I am trained in The Gottman Couples Method and which uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each couple’s unique needs. 

​

After 33 years of marriage, I know firsthand the challenges relationships bring. I’ve experienced the struggles, the frustration, and the deep joy that comes from doing the work to stay connected. My own journey through couples therapy taught me how transformative open communication and shared growth can be—and that’s why I do this work.
