Build a Stronger Relationship With Evidence-Based Tools

Relationships are one of the most meaningful parts of our lives — and they can also be one of the most challenging. Whether you're facing communication difficulties, feeling distant from your partner, or simply want to strengthen your bond, couples therapy can be a powerful space for growth and connection.

As a Level 1 trained therapist - I use principles from The Gottman Method, developed by world-renowned psychologists Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Backed by decades of research with thousands of couples, this approach offers practical, structured tools to help you and your partner deepen your friendship, manage conflict more effectively, and create shared meaning in your relationship.

Specialized

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on:

  • Strengthening the friendship and emotional connection between partners

  • Improving communication and conflict management skills

  • Building shared goals, rituals, and values

Personalized

As a therapist trained in Gottman Method Level 1, I integrate the core techniques and philosophy of this approach into our work together. My goal is to help you:

  • Identify and shift negative interaction patterns

  • Learn how to have “repair conversations” after arguments

  • Develop rituals of connection and appreciation

  • Create a roadmap for long-term relationship health

While every couple is unique, this approach offers a clear path forward — not just to reduce conflict, but to build connection, resilience, and joy in your relationship.

Relationship Enrichment & Reconnection 

Couples therapy isn't only for moments of conflict — it can also be a space for relationship enrichment and reconnection. Many couples seek support not because something is “wrong,” but because they want to:

  • Rekindle closeness and intimacy

  • Feel more seen and understood

  • Create intentional time to reflect and grow together

  • Strengthen communication and emotional connection

Using Gottman Method principles, we’ll work on deepening your friendship system — the foundation of a healthy, thriving relationship. Together, we’ll explore ways to create new shared meaning, foster appreciation, and bring more joy and intentionality into your everyday life as a couple.
