Relationship Counseling
Whether you’re seeking individual support or couples counseling, I provide a compassionate space to help you build stronger, healthier relationships.
Individual or Couples Counseling – Your Choice
Individual Relationship Counseling
Sometimes taking the first step alone is the best path forward. I work with individuals to explore relationship patterns, build communication skills, and develop strategies for healthier connections. Whether you’re working through personal challenges or past hurts and resentments, individual counseling provides a safe space for growth and understanding.
Couples Counseling
Together, we’ll work to strengthen your relationship through improved communication and understanding. I help couples identify underlying patterns, heal from past hurts, and build stronger connections. My approach combines practical tools with deeper emotional work to create lasting positive change.
Common Relationship Challenges
Communication Barriers
Learn to express needs clearly and listen effectively. Develop tools to navigate difficult conversations and build deeper understanding.
Conflict Resolution
Transform arguments into productive conversations. Learn healthy ways to address disagreements and find solutions together.
Separation & Divorce
Explore your options with compassionate support, whether you’re considering separation or need help healing after divorce.
Premarital Counseling
Build a strong foundation for your future together with tools for communication, conflict resolution, and shared goal-setting.

Rebuild trust after betrayals, strengthen emotional bonds, and create deeper connection in your relationship.

About My Approach
With over 30 years of experience, I provide evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique situation. My treatment approaches include:
Gottman Method
A research-based approach that helps couples break through barriers, strengthen friendship, and build tools for managing conflict. This method is particularly effective for improving communication and deepening emotional connection.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps identify and change thought patterns that affect your relationships. We’ll work together to develop practical strategies for managing emotions and improving interactions with others.
Imago Therapy
This approach helps you understand how past experiences influence your current relationships. Through structured dialogue, you’ll learn to transform conflicts into opportunities for healing and growth.
Family Systems
Understanding relationships in their broader context, this approach examines patterns and dynamics that influence how you connect with others. It’s particularly helpful for breaking free from unhelpful relationship cycles.
Christian Counseling
For those who request it, I offer faith-based counseling that integrates spiritual beliefs with therapeutic techniques. This approach honors your faith while working toward relationship healing.
Mindfulness Practices
Learn practical techniques for staying present, managing stress, and responding thoughtfully in relationships. These skills help create a foundation for better communication and emotional regulation.
