Gottman Couples Therapy & Individual Counseling in Eugene, Oregon

Ready to Get Started?

I work with clients who are tired of feeling disconnected in their relationship. You didn’t come here because things are going great – you’re here because something needs to change. Between demanding careers, family responsibilities, and daily stress, your relationship has fallen to the bottom of the priority list. We’re going to help you change that.

As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I don’t just listen to your problems – I help you determine exactly what’s not working and give you the practical tools to fix it. This isn’t about feeling better during our sessions; it’s about creating real change in your daily life together. I’ll call out the patterns that aren’t serving you, teach you skills you can use immediately, and hold you accountable for making your relationship a priority again. If you’re ready to stop the blame game and start doing the work, then let’s get started!

I felt so alone in my relationship and didn’t know how to fix it. We had reached a point where we were just going through the motions – coexisting, but not really connecting. Dave helped us see each other in ways we hadn’t in years. We learned how to communicate, not just talk, and how to actually hear each other. Now, instead of feeling stuck and lonely, we understand each other on a deeper level. We’ve rebuilt a connection I thought we had lost.”

Before, it felt like torture to be in my own skin. The constant self-criticism and feelings of hopelessness were overwhelming. Dave helped me understand why I was so hard on myself and guided me to develop tools to change those patterns. Now, I’m not beating myself up compulsively. I feel hopeful about the future for the first time in a long time.“

“Before starting therapy, our relationship felt toxic and hopeless. It seemed like no matter what I tried, nothing changed, and the fate of our marriage was out of my control. Dave saw the love we still had for each other and believed that with the right skills and tools, we could turn things around. During our sessions, I noticed my partner putting in genuine effort, even if consistently applying what we learned outside of therapy was a challenge. I better identified some things I did (and could try to stop doing) that contributed to our couple challenges and learned some strategies of how to create more space for my partner to process and share. As a result, we rediscovered moments of humor and lightness, which helped put our issues into perspective. I realized that my partner deeply wanted to improve our relationship and had a rich inner world of thoughts and feelings, even if expressing them out loud was difficult. This realization alone was a significant step forward.”
