What To Expect

We’ll address the issue that brought you in. But as we work, many couples find a deeper understanding, a stronger connection, and even a renewed sense of appreciation for one another. That’s because we’ll go beneath surface-level behaviors to address the root of the disconnection. This kind of work creates change that tools or communication tips alone can’t reach.

In our sessions, I’ll help you both speak and feel heard. We’ll make space for both partners’ needs and perspectives, and I’ll guide you to untangle the stuck places that keep you circling the same arguments. At the same time, we’ll draw on the strengths you already have as a couple and build from there.

Together, we’ll bring the hard stuff into the light— not to rehash the past, but to help you move through it. That includes the emotions that come with it: frustration, confusion, sadness, joy, connection. It’s all welcome here and a natural part of the process.

My goal isn’t to be your long-term mediator. My hope is that by the end of our work, you’ll have new ways of seeing and understanding each other and the skills to navigate hard conversations on your own.

What Not To Expect

If you’re picturing therapy as a place to rehash every disagreement or “win” your partner over, I want to set a gentle but clear expectation: I don’t take sides or convince partners who is right or wrong.

We don’t spend our time re-telling every story or dissecting every single detail. While each partner’s experience matters, my role is to guide us toward the deeper dynamics underneath the surface, not to referee or fact-check.

Rather than staying stuck in content, I’ll jump in to help us focus on the patterns that matter most — the stuck points that fuel disconnection or conflict. This means I may gently redirect, slow you down, or zoom in on a particular moment to help you both better understand what’s really going on underneath.

Our work won’t be about assigning blame or keeping score. It’s about insight, change, and creating a new way forward as a team.

Clinical Method

I use a structured, research-backed method for couples counseling that helps partners heal and reconnect, especially after major ruptures like ongoing conflict, broken trust, or relationship ruptures.

The model I use, Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on what’s underneath the arguments and the patterns that drive disconnection. In our sessions, we’ll explore your dynamic in real time. I’ll help you slow down and tune in to what’s really happening, so you can respond to each other with more clarity and care.

This approach is based on decades of research and has proven results: it helps 70–75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and 90% see noticeable improvement.

At its core, this model is built around one truth: we all need secure, supportive relationships. Couples therapy offers the chance to repair painful patterns and create the kind of connection that feels safe, steady, and deeply satisfying.

Couples Therapy Over Zoom

Can couples therapy really work online? It’s a fair question!

Here’s the truth: what makes therapy effective isn’t the format. It’s the connection we build and the method we use. And both still work beautifully online.

I’ve chosen to offer therapy exclusively via telehealth because it allows me to serve more couples and maintain balance in my own life. And many couples have found they actually prefer it — no commute, fewer scheduling hassles, and the comfort of being in their own space.

After thousands of hours of virtual work, I can confidently say: real change still happens, even through a screen.

To support your connection during sessions, I do ask that both partners join from the same space and device. Being face to face (with each other) makes a real difference. Sessions are conducted over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, and all you need is a quiet space and a stable internet connection.

If you know in-person sessions are important to you, I completely understand and encourage you to find the right fit for you! I’m not here to convince you, just to offer a option.

How To Get Started

When beginning couples therapy, you can choose an Intensive Onboarding session—a focused 4-hour block that addresses the same material we would cover across several weekly appointments. This option isn’t required and doesn’t suit every couple, but it can help you gain clarity and build momentum from the start.

The cost matches that of multiple regular sessions, but you begin making progress immediately. During the session, we’ll examine relationship patterns, uncover sticking points, and start practicing new ways to connect. Optional follow-up sessions are available to continue the work.
