Whether you're dating, engaged, married, or in a long-term partnership, every relationship benefits from intentional care. Couples therapy provides a structured, supportive space to address challenges, deepen your connection, and build a stronger foundation for your future together.

Why Couples Seek Therapy

Couples therapy isn't just for relationships in crisis. Many couples seek therapy to improve communication and reduce conflict, rebuild trust after betrayal, navigate major life transitions, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, align on values and life goals, manage external stressors (work, family, finances), process grief or loss as a couple, and strengthen their relationship proactively.

My Approach: Gottman Method Couples Counseling

As a Level 3 trained Gottman Method therapist, I use one of the most extensively researched and evidence-based approaches to couples counseling available today. Decades of research show that the Gottman Method significantly improves relationship quality and helps protect couples from falling into spirals of disconnection and hostility. Whether you're navigating a marital crisis, healing from infidelity, managing the overwhelming transition to parenthood, or investing in a newer relationship, Gottman Method couples counseling teaches you practical, proven skills to reduce destructive patterns, heal from past wounds, navigate your core differences, and build a deeper, more fulfilling bond with your partner. In our sessions together, you'll learn to replace criticism and defensiveness with effective communication, rebuild emotional safety and trust, develop shared meaning and rituals that strengthen your connection, and approach conflict as a team rather than opponents.

DBT-Informed Couples Therapy

I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into my couples work to help you break free from the endless cycles of conflict and misunderstanding that leave you feeling stuck. Together, we'll analyze each major conflict you're experiencing to identify the domino effect — the chain of triggers, reactions, and escalations — that is fueling suffering in your relationship. Through this analysis, we'll pinpoint specific prevention and intervention points where real change can happen. You'll learn skills to interrupt destructive patterns before they spiral, regulate intense emotions in the heat of conflict, and communicate your needs without shutting down or lashing out. The goal is to transform conflict from something exhausting and unproductive into an opportunity to feel more bonded, understood, and connected afterward.

Couples I Work With

I work with couples across the full spectrum of relationship histories — from partners just beginning their journey together to couples who have been building a life side by side for decades. No matter where you are in your relationship, there is always room to grow closer and communicate more effectively. I also welcome couples with more nuanced relationship experiences, including same-sex and LGBTQ+ couples, couples of blended sexual identity where partners may identify differently, couples in polyamorous or open relationships, and couples considering opening their relationship. My approach is non-judgmental and grounded in respect for the unique dynamics of your partnership. My role is to facilitate open, honest communication between you and your partner or partners and to teach you evidence-based skills that apply regardless of your relationship structure. I believe that fulfilling, meaningful relationships exist in many forms, and every couple deserves access to quality therapeutic support that honors who they are.

Telehealth for Couples

Virtual couples therapy makes it easier than ever to prioritize investing in your relationship. You can attend sessions together from home, eliminating scheduling conflicts and travel time. Partners can even join from different locations, as long as both are in Florida — making it possible to fit therapy into even the busiest schedules. Many couples find that the comfort and privacy of their own space helps them engage more openly in the process.
