Marriage Counseling

Being in a long term relationship can be challenging. Most people were never taught what healthy relationships should look like and instead learned unhealthy relational strategies from family, friends and culture. Developing enough awareness and compassion to step out of negative patterns and move towards relational health can be a life changing experience.

I provide online couples therapy and marriage counseling to support you in having the relationship you deserve. I utilize The Gottman Method, EFT, and evidenced-based approaches to support you in bringing peace and enjoyment back to your relationship.

I have 20 years of experience working with both couples in shaping more rewarding lives for themselves. I offer holistic, non-judgmental, solution focused approaches to help couples develop clear communication, effective conflict resolution skills and strategies to fulfill their emotional and sexual needs so that they can move forward with creating a more enriching relationship together.

I use the Gottman method for couple’s therapy because it relies on scientifically validated tools and methods rather than general beliefs about what “should” work or how relationships “should” be. Following a thorough assessment protocol, I am able to deliver a targeted approach that gets at the difficult parts of your interactions and help you to build skills that will improve communication and overall happiness in your relationship.

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.

Navigating marital challenges can be tough. Whether it's communication issues, trust breakdowns, or emotional disconnect, my approach in marriage counseling aims to rebuild and strengthen your relationship. Using proven methods like Gottman Therapy, I offer tailored strategies to help you and your partner find common ground, improve communication, and reignite the emotional spark that may have dimmed over time.

Our therapists work to create a safe space where people can explore their relationship concerns and empower them to set health boundaries, let go of unhelpful patterns of relationship, understand how early childhood attachments may impact current relationships, live more in line with their own values, and reduce people pleasing, guilt, responsibility, shame, expectations, and other challenging emotions that may show up in relationship with partners, spouses, family, friends, and/or colleagues.

I work with couples across a variety of relational stages, I offer a 10 session premarital program that addresses any and everything that needs to be discussed ahead of the nuptials.

As an Couples therapist who uses Imago, I work to help couples find the understanding they crave. My training has included doing Imago work with my wife for the past 10 years. The general goal in Imago work is to help you, the couple, see how your "Image"/ Imago is playing out past misunderstandings and discover how your relationship is the perfect opportunity to heal. Imago therapy has helped me to be able to point out relationship patterns to both my individual and couples clients.

Relationships can be difficult to navigate, especially in serious relationships or marriage. When issues occur, it's best to deal with issues in a safe, neutral space with someone you trust.

I support LGBTQ+ couples through self-discovery to reestablish and create an authentic bond with each other. As we build relationships with people we love, we are not aware of how our painful past experiences influence our behaviors, perspectives, and reactions.
