Certified Gottman Therapist Specializing in Evidence-Based Approaches to Creating Lasting Change

Welcome! As a Certified Gottman Therapist based in Eugene, Oregon, I specialize in helping couples move beyond recurring conflicts to create lasting change in their relationship. I also work with motivated individuals who are ready to break through personal patterns that hold them back.

I’ve had a lot of therapists over the last 17 years and I’ve never had a counselor bring me through this much progress…. ever. Not even close.”

Relationship Transformation for Committed Couples

When you’re both ready for real change, we can work together to break free from frustrating patterns and rebuild the connection that brought you together. Using evidence-based approaches, I help couples develop practical skills for:

  • Breaking cycles that leave you feeling disconnected
  • Communicating effectively during conflicts
  • Rebuilding trust after difficult challenges
  • Creating deeper emotional intimacy

Your Best Self: Pattern Breakthrough for Individuals

Let’s be honest: You don’t really want a therapist who will just sit there and ask, “…and how does that make you feel?” You want someone who will finally help you move beyond the basics to become the best version of yourself. Someone who will guide, challenge and show you the skills you need to propel yourself forward.

For individuals, I offer a structured, solutions-focused approach to transform relationship patterns and create lasting personal change:

  • Identify and break recurring patterns that hold you back
  • Develop practical strategies for lasting behavioral change
  • Learn relationship skills that apply to all areas of life
  • Move from insight to action with accountability and support

My Approach to Therapy

I come from a multi-generational family of psychologists and therapists, and have “breathed the air” of psychology, so to speak. I feel very strongly that we can let what happens in our lives make us angry, resentful and afraid, or we can embrace these events as a way to grow stronger, yet softer, and end up being more open to what scares us.

You’re Ready to get Started if…

  • You’re open to exploring new strategies and solutions
  • You’re willing to face challenges for the sake of personal growth
  • You’re committed to taking active steps towards change

I Might Not Be the Best Fit if…

  • You’re looking for quick fixes without personal effort
  • You’re not ready to take responsibility for your own growth
  • You prefer a completely passive approach to therapy

“You are a true therapy hero. I was terrified going into therapy because I have done it for years, but my husband was already checked out of the relationship and completely against therapy. He was a brick wall at first. I saw the look in your eyes our first two session, that look I've seen in my own eyes. The reality that this might not make it long enough to heal it. But you were hard on us and honest and held us both accountable. We stuck through therapy together and the look on your face at the last session will forever stick with me. It was like seeing eyes from the outside, seeing that we have overcome so much and really can save this marriage.”
