Great to meet you!

Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Couples Therapy for Constant Conflict & Emotional Disconnection

I help couples who love each other but feel stuck in the same painful communication patterns learn how to reconnect, resolve conflict, and feel understood again using proven relationship methods.

You love each other—but you keep having the same argument.

Maybe one of you shuts down while the other pushes for answers. Maybe conversations turn into criticism, defensiveness, or silence. Or maybe you feel more like roommates than partners. Whatever the pattern, it’s exhausting—and it can leave you wondering how things got here.

I specialize in helping couples who feel stuck in these cycles learn how to reconnect, communicate effectively, and feel understood again.

This isn’t just talking about problems.

  • You’ll get clear tools and strategies
  • You’ll understand the root of your patterns
  • You’ll leave sessions knowing what to do differently

Specialties

  • Marital and Premarital
  • Relationship Issues
  • Infidelity
  • Communication Issues
  • Life Transitions

My approach to therapy

My approach includes the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy—two evidence-based models that help couples both understand the root of their patterns and learn practical tools to change them.

In our work together, you will:

  • Identify the patterns that keep you stuck
  • Learn how to communicate without escalating conflict
  • Understand why you trigger each other
  • Rebuild emotional safety, trust, and connection

This is not just a space to talk about problems—you’ll leave sessions with clear tools and a better understanding of what to do differently.

What you can expect from me

We’ll start by understanding your relationship dynamic and identifying the patterns that are causing disconnection. From there, I’ll guide you through structured conversations and tools designed to help you communicate more effectively and reconnect emotionally.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or on the brink, there is a path forward.

If you’re ready to stop having the same fight and start feeling understood again, I invite you to reach out.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
