My approach
How couples therapy works here
You do not have to know what to say on day one. Here is what happens from the first call, and the research behind it.
- 01
A free call
A 15 minute phone call with me. Ask anything, together or on your own, and see if I feel like a good fit.
- 02
Getting to know you
One joint session and one individual session with each partner, so I understand your history and what each of you hopes for.
- 03
A shared plan
I share what I see in plain language, and together we agree on goals that make sense to both of you.
- 04
Steady practice
Regular sessions where you try new ways of talking, repairing and reconnecting, with tools to use at home.
My methods
Two approaches, grounded in decades of research
I draw on the two most studied models of couples therapy, explained here in plain language.
Gottman Method
Built on forty years of research watching real couples, the Gottman Method helps you manage conflict without contempt, turn toward each other more often, and build a friendship strong enough to carry you through hard seasons.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
EFT helps you see the cycle that pulls you apart, like one partner pushing for closeness while the other withdraws. Once you can name it, you can step out of it and reach for each other in new ways.
Sound familiar?
Most couples arrive here saying something like this.
If one of these lines stopped you, you are in the right place.
We keep having the same fight.
We feel like roommates.
Trust was broken and we don't know how to rebuild it.
One of us wants to try. The other isn't sure.
Since the kids, we barely talk about anything but logistics.
