My Approach

Our words have power-they can heal, restore, and strengthen connection, or they can create distance and hurt. In couples therapy, we focus on developing skills that help partners communicate clearly, manage conflict, and rebuild emotional intimacy.

As a licensed therapist trained in the Gottman Method and attachment-based therapies, I help couples understand patterns that create conflct in relationships. My approach supports couples to build trust, emotional attunement, and long-lasting connection.

How we respond to stress and conflict often reflects early attachment experiences with closeness and safety. When attachment needs go unmet, it can lead to patterns like criticism, avoidance, or defensiveness. In therapy, we explore these patterns and develop strategies to respond in ways that foster security, understanding and nurture connection.

The Gottman Method helps identify negative interaction patterns-such as criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling-that erode relationships over time.
