In therapy, fit is crucial. Research shows that the relationship between the therapist and client is the most important factor in successful treatment. Because fit is so important, I offer all prospective clients a free 15-minute call to explore how we might work together.

In addition to considering fit, I use this call to screen you for crisis and determine if I am well positioned to meet your needs, or if you would be better served by someone with different areas of expertise.

We start by collecting background information, determining therapy goals, and building a treatment plan. We then continue with weekly or biweekly therapy sessions as needed.

You always remain in control of how much you choose to share with me. You are the expert of your experiences, and I go at your pace.

Sometimes it takes 50 minutes just to name what you are protecting yourself from feeling. Book an intensive so you have time to fully explore those tender parts of your internal system that may not want to be seen right away. Give yourself the gift of time, space, and attention to allow the walls you are holding up in the rest of your life to soften at their pace.

Fifty-minute couples counseling sessions are great for couples who want to see results but do not have time to commit to longer sessions. I utilize the Gottman Method and am certified in working with neurodiverse couples. You will gain skills to improve your intimacy, communication, and connection in your relationship.

I apply the Gottman Method. Backed by decades of research on thousands of couples, the Gottman Method offers a clear structure for addressing relationship struggles.

The first few sessions involve an in-depth relationship assessment to identify your relationship’s strengths and challenges. From there you and your partner will practice skills to target specific issues that come up.

I am also certified to work with neurodiverse couples to unpack and explore differences in neurology as a source of relationship tension. Bringing greater awareness to the role of neurology in emotions and communication helps couples increase their understanding of themselves and each other.

Give yourself and your partner the gift of time and attention. Allow yourself to explore what it’s like to take on distinct roles: listener, speaker, giver, receiver. Book an intensive to honor the time it takes to warm yourself up to this process. We do not break old patterns with a magic wand. We do it by rewiring neurons and practicing new skills until they become second nature.

The stakes could not be higher. Your marriage is on the brink and time is of the essence. Divorce counseling is time-bound to five sessions max. Each session involves deep work to clarify exactly where you stand, what you need to move forward, and how far you are willing to go to achieve your desired results.
