Couples Therapy
"The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives." - Esther Perel. They're more important to us than career success, financial success or social status. I've had to work hard in my life to build strong loving relationships and know first hand what it's like when they're fraught with distance and pain, so I'm deeply invested in providing expert couples therapy. You have so much to gain and so much at stake, I want to help you get there.
This is my passion. I help couples entrenched in tired, painful patterns start fresh by creating emotional safety & security, forging new, loving bonds. And I help couples build that security by teaching you to relate in a way that says "I'm here for you. We're in this together" in every interaction.
Couples therapy with me is structured and targeted. It's also deep and transformational. Couples who work with me

- Fight smarter and start hearing each other
- Develop emotional regulation
- Quit reacting and start responding
- Stay connected through conflict
- Express authentic thoughts and feelings
- Wake up stagnant sex lives
- Become true life-long partners
Pre-Baby Counseling
Pregnancy is an incredibly rich and generative time. And life with an infant is incredibly challenging and complex.

Pre-baby counseling harnesses this fertile energy to bring you closer together, fortifying your relationship to help you weather all the upheaval that comes with adding a new family member.
