Certified Gottman Marriage Counseling and Couples Coaching
Relationships can bring immense joy, but they require intention and effort. Over time, conflicts and misunderstandings can wear down the sense of closeness and connection that brought you together.
When initiating intimacy feels like it leads nowhere or always turns into an argument, the resulting frustration and rejection can feel unbearable. You may wonder why things feel so distant and whether it’s possible to reconnect.
You’re not alone in this struggle. Many couples face these same challenges. But with the right support, it’s possible to break the cycle of disconnection and rebuild a relationship filled with trust, passion, and mutual understanding.
As a marriage coach and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping couples like you navigate these challenges. I’ve seen firsthand how transformational this work can be—when couples open up to honest conversations and lean into vulnerability, the results can be life-changing.
Let me help you rediscover what brought you together in the first place and create a future that feels safe, connected, and full of affection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common inquiries below
How does this work?
This program is structured as a regular weekly video sessions with me, over a 90-day period.
What's covered?
There is so much I can cover with couples that this is a difficult question to answer. Generally speaking, we will focus on the relationship skills that are most important to foster early in the life of a couple building a family together; this includes managing differences of opinions in parenting, family organization, setting limits and holding boundaries, being assertive, offering and receiving emotional support, big picture planning, growing a family identity, working through conflicts with each other, maintaining affection and romance, standing up to pushy family members, and many more...
Who is this for and not for?
This is for couples who are in a committed monogamous relationship who have grown their family beyond yourselves, so you may have a newborn or you may have a three year old and still be struggling to work together. If you have to balance the identities of spouses AND coparents, this program will speak to your struggles.
What if I'm not sure?
Totally fine! That’s why we start with a free video consultation. Schedule the call, follow the steps, and together we will determine if this program is a good fit for your needs.
