Start with a focused first session to slow things down, understand what’s happening, and decide what to do next.
If you’re looking for help right now, you’re in the right place.
I work with couples who feel stuck in repeating patterns and need structured support to change them.
That might look like the same arguments repeating, growing emotional distance, feeling misunderstood, or feeling like things are starting to escalate.
You do not need to have the right words or the full picture yet. The first step is simply to get support and slow things down.
What to expect
The first session is a working session. We’ll focus on:
- Understanding what is actually happening in your relationship.
- Identifying the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
- Clarifying what would help right now.
- Deciding what the next steps should be.
At the end of the first session, we’ll talk about what ongoing work would look like if it makes sense to continue.
This is not just a history taking session and it is not passive listening. We actively look at what is happening between you and how to change it.
How I work
My work is structured, evidence based, and skill focused.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Gottman Therapist. I help couples move out of cycles of conflict, disconnection, or escalation and into more stable, workable patterns of communication and emotional connection.
The work is collaborative and practical. Both of you will be supported. The goal is change, not blame.
This approach works best when both people are willing to look honestly at the patterns and practice new skills. If you’re unsure whether your partner is ready, the first session can still help clarify next steps.
