Couples Therapy

I work with couples in various stages of life and circumstances, including life transitions (marriage, birth, loss), infidelity, and difficulties around communication and intimacy.

I work to create a safe space by focusing not only on the couple's challenges, but also on their strengths. We work to build positivity and resiliency at the same time as tackling difficulties.

I utilize techniques from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Imago Therapy. My hope is that couples can gain catharsis and insight while deepening the bond, improving communication, building trust, and repairing past relational injuries.

Fertility, Pregnancy, and Postpartum

I love supporting women and couples preparing for childbirth and parenthood. As a childbirth educator and parent, I understand the physical and mental changes that start even before conception and how overwhelming those changes can be. From trying to conceive through the postpartum adjustment, each stage has unique challenges.

I am a certified Gottman Bringing Baby Home educator, a structured program for assisting couples in the transition to parenthood to prevent the all-to-common decline in relationship satisfaction post-baby. I also have a certificate in postpartum mental health through Postpartum Support International.

Certified as a DreamBirth practitioner, I utilize guided imagery (if desired) with clients who are pregnant or trying to conceive.

I have experience working with couples facing infertility and the difficulties they face when the path to parenthood isn't so straightforward.

Life Transitions

It's not just a mid-life crisis anymore; it's the quarter-life crisis, the mid-30s I'm-not-where-I-want-to-be crisis, the post-baby what-do-I-do-now-that-my-kid-is-older crisis and the retiree, what-do-I- do-with-my-time-now crisis.

Life is long, and it's never too late to change course. It is not uncommon to feel stuck in a job you hate and unsure of how to change your situation. I help individuals uncover what's truly important to them and to imagine what that can look like in their life, whether that means finding a better work-life balance or pursuing a second (or third) career or side hustle. Then, together, we work on goals for creating change.
