Lifelong partnerships include plenty of ups and downs, struggles and triumphs. During particular times of strain, it can be helpful for an objective person to identify and problem-solve what isn't working. People are creatures of habit — it can be difficult to see what patterns in your partnership are causing distress.   

I have advanced couples counseling training from PACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and The Gottman Institute. I integrate these theories to help couples become more emotionally regulated, communicative, and self-aware. I teach couples how to become experts of their partner's needs, how to recognize the cycles of interactions that occur in conflict, and help to repair and heal the relationship from previous ruptures.
