If you're here, you’re already taking the first brave step towards building a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.

In our therapy space, we meet you where you are without judgment. Our goal is to help you work through the challenges you’re facing, from communication breakdowns to rebuilding trust. Whether you're trying to improve your connection or navigate a tough patch, we're here to guide you with compassion and expertise. Every relationship has the potential for growth, and together we can help you discover the path forward one step at a time.

Couples Therapy is personalized and evidence-based.
I take a personalized, person-centered approach to couples therapy while also integrating research-backed methods like the Gottman Method, Imago Therapy, Restoration Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. These evidence-based interventions have been proven to help couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connections. Together, we'll explore how to incorporate these strategies into your relationship for real, lasting change.
Healing the Heart of Your Relationship with Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Because underneath the arguments and silence is a longing to feel seen, heard, and loved by each other again.
When communication keeps breaking down and emotional distance starts to grow, it can feel like you're drifting further apart, even when you both want to reconnect. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) helps you make sense of the deeper emotional needs and attachment patterns that often go unspoken in relationships. By slowing down and tuning in to what is really happening beneath the surface, EFCT creates space for vulnerability, responsiveness, and repair.
This approach is grounded in the belief that a secure emotional bond is the foundation of lasting connection. It is not about assigning blame. It is about helping you reach for each other in new, more emotionally honest ways.
In EFCT, you and your partner will learn how to:
Identify and de-escalate the negative interaction cycles that keep you stuck
Tune into the emotions behind reactivity and disconnection
Express needs and fears in ways that invite closeness instead of conflict
Rebuild emotional trust and deepen your bond
Create a secure foundation where both partners feel safe, seen, and valued
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) helps you stop spinning your wheels in the same arguments and instead start building the connection you are both craving, one rooted in safety, trust, and emotional openness.
The Strengths & Wisdom of Imago Relationship Therapy
In the past, couples counseling often focused mainly on communication skills, but these efforts sometimes led to short-lived changes and frustration.
Imago Relationship Therapy offers a deeply transformative approach that goes beyond just improving communication. It focuses on how your early childhood experiences and relationships with your caregivers shape the way you connect, react, and sometimes disconnect in your current relationship. By understanding these deep-rooted patterns, couples can heal old wounds that have been unknowingly influencing their connection.
What makes Imago Therapy truly unique is its focus on past attachment and how unmet needs from childhood show up in adult relationships. It helps couples see each other not as the source of problems but as reflections of their own unhealed parts. This compassionate perspective creates a powerful space for healing and growth where both partners feel deeply seen, heard, and valued.
Here is what you can expect to learn and experience with Imago Therapy:
How your early attachment experiences and relationships with caregivers influence your current relationship patterns
How to identify and break free from unconscious cycles rooted in childhood wounds
How to communicate from a place of empathy and vulnerability, fostering deeper emotional safety
How to turn conflict into moments of connection, understanding, and healing
How to build a secure, loving partnership that supports both your individual and shared growth
Imago Therapy helps couples transform their relationship by addressing the root causes of disconnection, creating a bond that is not only stronger but also more compassionate and healing than before.
Building Stronger Connections and Deeper Understanding Through the Gottman Method
Over the years of working with couples, I’ve seen firsthand how common struggles with communication, conflict, and emotional disconnection can leave partners feeling frustrated and misunderstood.
To help couples build stronger, healthier relationships, I incorporate the research supported strengths of The Gottman Method into our work.
In Gottman Method couples counseling, you’ll learn:
How to recognize and break negative patterns of communication that can lead to conflict
To foster emotional safety by learning to communicate openly and empathetically, even during disagreements
To build shared goals and values that create a stronger bond and greater understanding of one another
How to nurture emotional intimacy, trust, and appreciation through practical, effective tools
The Gottman Method helps you strengthen your relationship by focusing on improving communication, creating deeper emotional connections, and building a solid foundation for long lasting love.
Healing Patterns, Restoring Harmony with Restoration Therapy
Sometimes, the struggles we face in relationships aren’t just about the present, they’re rooted in emotional pain from the past.
Restoration Therapy takes a compassionate, practical approach to help couples and individuals identify these deeper wounds and break free from the cycles of hurt that keep them stuck.
This approach goes beyond surface level fixes by helping you:
Understand how past pain shapes current conflicts and emotional triggers
Respond to each other with empathy and intentionality instead of reacting out of frustration or fear
Break free from old patterns of blame, withdrawal, or defensiveness
Build a relationship rooted in trust, understanding, and genuine connection
Restoration Therapy is more than resolving conflict it’s about healing together, creating space for growth, and restoring the bond you’ve always longed for.
Our Online Couples Therapy Experience
You and your partner don’t need to wait for the perfect moment or the perfect setting to begin reconnecting. Whether you're in Miami, Tampa, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Boise, or anywhere in between, virtual couples therapy offers you a quiet space to slow down and come back to one another.
Maybe one of you is curled up with a cup of coffee, and the other just stepped away from work. Wherever you are, you can show up together, just as you are, and begin the work of healing, rebuilding trust, or deepening your bond.
This is a space where both of your voices matter.
A space to learn new ways of hearing each other, to untangle old patterns, and to rediscover the safety and closeness that brought you together in the first place.
In the comfort of your own home, you can do the work of repair and reconnection without distractions, without rushing, and without pressure.
I’ll be here to guide you, to hold space for the hard conversations, and to help you build the kind of relationship that feels emotionally safe, grounded, and lasting.
Things Couples Often Ask Before Starting
Beginning couples therapy can feel like a big step and it’s natural to have questions.
Below are some common inquiries I receive from couples considering therapy. If you have any other concerns or want to discuss your unique situation, I’m here to help.
-
If you find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, feeling distant, or simply wanting to build a stronger connection, couples therapy can offer valuable support. It is a safe space to explore your relationship honestly, uncover patterns that keep you disconnected, and learn tools to communicate with empathy and understanding. You do not have to wait for a crisis to benefit from Couples therapy, it can also be a proactive step toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
-
Each session is a guided conversation where both partners have space to share their feelings and perspectives in a safe and supportive environment. After our first session, I’ll send you the Gottman Relationship Checkup to complete separately. This detailed assessment helps us understand your relationship’s strengths and areas to grow. Depending on your needs, I may also meet with you individually to gain deeper insight. I integrate this with approaches like Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and the Gottman Method to help you improve communication, resolve conflict, and deepen your connection. My goal is to create a space where both of you feel truly heard and valued.
-
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some couples experience meaningful progress in a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support over several months. Therapy is a journey that moves at your pace. We regularly check in to ensure the work is helpful and adjust our focus as your relationship grows and changes.
-
Couples therapy is an investment in your relationship and the life you want to build together. It’s a space to strengthen connection, improve communication, and heal what’s been hard to talk about.
Standard sessions are $160 for 50 minutes. I also offer extended 80-minute sessions for $210 when more time and space is needed. If cost is a concern, I’m happy to talk through options during a consultation.
-
It is common for one partner to feel unsure about therapy. Even if only one person attends, positive changes can still happen. I work with individuals to better understand their relationship dynamics and offer ways to invite their partner into the process. My goal is to create a space that feels safe and non-threatening so that both of you feel comfortable exploring your relationship in time.
-
I draw from several evidence-based approaches depending on your needs. This includes the Gottman Method to support communication and conflict resolution, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen emotional bonds and reduce distress, Imago Therapy to explore how past experiences shape present dynamics, and Restoration Therapy to help you respond from healing rather than pain. My goal is to meet you where you are, offering both practical tools and deeper insight.
-
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share in sessions stays private except in rare cases where safety concerns or legal requirements apply. It is important for both partners to understand that therapy is a secure place for honest sharing, and I encourage open communication between you about what feels safe to discuss.
-
Yes, couples therapy is a supportive place to work through painful experiences such as infidelity, trauma, or deep emotional wounds. These topics require care, patience, and skilled guidance. Together, we will create a plan to address these challenges at a pace that feels safe, helping rebuild trust and foster healing in your relationship.
