If you’re here, chances are things have been hard for a while. Maybe you’ve had the same arguments over and over. Maybe you’re feeling distant, disconnected, or unsure if your relationship can make it. You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure this out by yourselves.
Most of the couples I work with aren’t lazy or broken — they’re just overwhelmed by patterns they don’t know how to break. And while it might feel like nothing has worked before, change is absolutely possible.
That’s why I do things differently. I don’t offer traditional therapy sessions. Instead, I help couples through structured, research-based programs designed to rebuild trust, deepen connection, and finally change the patterns that keep you stuck.
A More Focused, Effective Approach
Typical therapy can feel open-ended and slow-moving. You talk for 50 minutes, once a week, and hope something shifts.
This isn’t that.
We’ll work with a clear plan. Based on your specific needs, I offer a structured roadmap tailored to where you are and where you want to be. Together, we’ll focus on what actually works — using proven strategies grounded in over five decades of Gottman Method research.
If you’re ready for direction, action, and meaningful change, we’ll be a good fit.
How to Get Started
We begin with a free, 30-minute Discovery Session. This is where we dive deep into your relationship dynamics, understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, and create a roadmap for your next chapter.
There’s no cost — just a commitment to show up with honesty and readiness to explore whether this kind of work is right for you.
You’ll also complete a short intake form ahead of time so we can hit the ground running. This isn’t just a conversation — it’s the beginning of real clarity and change.
What Does It Cost?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. I offer structured programs — not one-off sessions — because that’s what leads to real results.
This is a real investment — not just in therapy, but in the future of your relationship. And for many couples, it ends up costing less than years of trial-and-error or repeated therapy that didn’t go deep enough.
Most couples invest between $2,400 and $7,500, depending on the level of support needed. We’ll go over exact pricing during your Discovery Session, once I understand your situation and goals.
You’ll always know what to expect — no hidden fees, no surprises.
Why I Don’t Take Insurance
What we’re doing here isn’t traditional therapy. It’s focused, intensive relationship work. Insurance doesn’t cover couples work well — and it requires a mental health diagnosis, which may not apply to you or your partner.
Not taking insurance allows me to:
- Provide privacy (no mental health diagnosis, no records shared)
- Customize your care without insurance restrictions
- Work with your relationship, not just your symptoms
I do accept HSA and FSA cards and can provide documentation if you choose to seek out-of-network reimbursement.
