I work with couples of all backgrounds, orientations, and relationship structures who are committed to deepening their connection or navigating challenges together. You might be looking to strengthen your communication, heal after a rupture, manage stress as a team, or simply reconnect after a period of distance.

Yes, I welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ couples in my practice. My approach is inclusive, nonjudgmental, and grounded in respect for the diverse ways people build and define relationships. I understand that queer and trans couples may face unique relational dynamics, family pressures, or identity-based stressors, and I hold space for those experiences with care and curiosity. Whether you're navigating communication, deepening connection, or exploring identity within the relationship, our work together will be shaped around your values and goals - not traditional molds.

Our first session is a chance to slow down and lay the foundation for meaningful work together. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, how you each see the relationship currently, and what you’re hoping for from therapy. My role is to create a space where both partners feel heard, respected, and supported.

Couples attend sessions together. That said, I offer one individual session with each partner early in the process during assessment, to better understand each person’s perspective. This is always discussed in advance and agreed upon by everyone.

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy that helps improve communication, reduce conflict, and build lasting connection. I use this framework to help you identify unhelpful patterns, learn practical skills, and grow your understanding of one another.

The Gottman Relationship Checkup is a comprehensive online assessment tool designed to give us a clear snapshot of your strengths and growth areas. It’s completed separately by each partner and helps guide our work together. There is a one-time $40 fee for the assessment, which is paid directly through the platform. I’ll walk you through every step.

That’s very common. It's not unusual for one partner to feel more hesitant or unsure. You don't have to be in the exact same place emotionally to benefit from therapy - just open to the process. My role is to meet you both where you are and help you find shared goals that feel meaningful and fair.

Yes - couples therapy can be a space to explore that uncertainty with care and structure. Whether you’re looking to rebuild or redefine your connection, we can approach it collaboratively. I also support discernment work when partners are unsure about continuing the relationship.

Totally. Therapy can stir up big feelings, especially when you're talking about things that haven’t been said before. That discomfort is part of the process - but we’ll always go at a pace that feels manageable and safe.
