I know from my own experience that creating the relationship you dream of is not as easy as the movies. It takes intention, commitment, the belief that things can get better, and a partner that wants to try with you.I know this because I’ve lived it. Relationships are complex, and even with the best intentions, we all face struggles.

As your couples therapist, I bring authenticity and honesty to the table. I will name my own imperfections, both as a therapist and as a married partner, because I ask you to be real with me, too. I will validate your experiences, explore the root of challenges in your relationship, and guide you to build trust and deepen your commitment to one another. I know transformation is possible because I have seen it firsthand. 

I engage in immersive therapy through what is called the  Relational Theory Model with the couples I work with. We dive into Attachment Theory and Neuroplasticity to identify the patterns and challenges rooted in how we learned to connect and what love is growing up. Our brains can be rewired to develop secure, fulfilling relationships and our immersive therapy sessions allow us to construct the new neural pathways needed to leave the unhealthy and unhelpful patterns behind.

​

I like to call this "Couples University." You and your partner are choosing to invest in training, skill building, and education about relationships, rewiring, and one another. You will have studied yourself, your partner, the process of creating a secure attachment, what truly makes a relationship work long-term AND you will have applied the steps to become a secure, vulnerable, deeply emotional couple. 

This immersive approach focuses on clarity, actionable tools, and creating meaningful change quickly–often within six sessions. Each session engages in hands-on teaching, active support to help you achieve breakthroughs, and an action plan to engage with in between sessions so that you build momentum and accountability toward your relationship goals.

Why this model works:

I compare therapy to white-water rafting. Most therapists teach from their own raft, giving instruction from a distance and hoping you navigate the rapids successfully with no one falling out of the boat. I’ve shifted my approach–I’m in the boat with you, guiding you through every rapid, whether it be conflict, disconnection, or intimacy challenge.

When conflict arises, I’ll stop the destructive cycle and teach you and your partner how to manage it differently. When intimacy has stopped or feels out of reach, I’ll help you stay engaged and connected. Together we will create a relationship where challenges are met with strength, curiosity, and excitement.

This model is for couples ready to be part of the top 20% who thrive in their relationships, mindset, and emotional fulfillment.
