Marriage counseling that Heals in Auburn, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

I am dedicated to restoring the love & emotional intimacy in your relationship by learning how to manage painful and persistent conflict & rebuild your trust & friendship through research based methods. I offer Couples Retreats. Certified Gottman Therapist since 2006.

Premarital Therapy is the most requested form of couples therapy in my practice. Addressing issues that often don't develop until after marriage and providing conflict resolution tools to the couple to support healthy communication assists reducing future conflicts.

We want connection- a space to be vulnerable and truly seen. But emotional intimacy is risky, and that scares us, especially with a difficult history! Instead of being vulnerable, we build up walls to protect us. Let's break down the walls and build a loving connection.

When entering a committed relationship we have a desire and expectation for friendship, mutual respect, love and validation. It takes work, it takes courage, it takes support and training to arrive at this ideal.

Specializing in couples and marriages for 25 years, I help couples move from conflict to intimacy. By learning communication skills as well as learning to appreciate your differences, you can remember the strengths that brought the two of you together to begin with.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

I work with adults in relationships of all kinds. Whether you are dating or have been married for decades, I respect your commitment and I am here to help you learn better communication, connection, and find your path to love and support. No judgment, just compassion.
