Specialized Training in Couples Therapy
Not all therapists are trained specifically in relationship therapy. As an LMFT, my expertise is in understanding relationship dynamics, emotional patterns, and systemic change.
- My approach is practical and results-oriented, with many couples seeing meaningful progress within just three sessions.
- Most clients experience significant improvements in their relationship within 90 days.
Evidence-Based, Proven Methods
I integrate two of the most effective, research-backed approaches to couples therapy:
✅ The Gottman Method – Offers structured tools for healthy communication, conflict resolution, and long-term relationship success.
✅ Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Helps couples reconnect emotionally, rebuild trust, and create a secure bond.
Support for Every Stage of Your Relationship
Whether you want to repair, strengthen, or redefine your relationship, I offer guidance in:
- Strengthening connection and deepening emotional intimacy
- Rebuilding trust after betrayal or emotional disconnection
- Managing conflict in a productive and respectful way
- Navigating major life transitions (marriage, parenthood, career shifts, blended families, empty nest syndrome)
- Separation and co-parenting support for couples managing divorce and custody arrangements

A Personal Note
My wife and I have been married for over 30 years, raising three children together. Through my own relationship experiences, I understand that strong partnerships require effort, care, and commitment. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking, skiing, and spending time outdoors with my family. These moments reinforce the importance of connection, balance, and resilience—values that shape my dedication to helping couples like you build healthier relationships.
