I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with years of training and experience helping couples to navigate the most painful and difficult chapter in their relationships. I will guide you with compassion, empathy, and a skill set that is born in working with couples across the country in their healing journeys. I have been featured in Forbes, the Knot, and other leading media outlets discussing relationships, intimacy, and communication. I’d love to connect with you and your partner about the unique circumstances that you are facing and how I might be able to help.

Couples counseling with me is a safe, inviting space to deepen your connection, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your bond. I bring a warm, modern approach that focuses on understanding each partner’s unique needs while fostering open communication and trust. Whether you’re navigating challenges or simply seeking to enrich your relationship, I’ll guide you with compassion and tailored strategies to rebuild harmony and intimacy. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for growth and connection that feels authentic and meaningful.

Do you have the same argument over and over again? Are you feeling alone, misunderstood, or disrespected in your marriage? I can help you work through these issues through couples counseling, and help you break the unhealthy patterns that aren’t working. Renewing trust, improving communication, and regaining the spark are all possible. Being married myself, I know that marriage is work, and that love is a choice. But even intelligent, loving couples sometimes need support. You deserve better than what’s happening now. If you’re willing to put in the work, I can help. Our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion you were created to be.

Life is about relationships. When you consider what makes most people happy or sad it is usually the health of their relationships. Your relationship may just be starting out, you may define it as a committed, exclusive one or you may be struggling through some marital conflicts. If you find yourself wondering how to make your relationship work as a couple, improve your communication, enhance and improve your relationship or perhaps you are just wondering if you can sustain a healthy relationship; don't battle alone. At Gateway we specialize in couple counseling and can help you as a couple.

My couple therapy is for any couple with specific issues that are inhibiting or preventing functioning, communication or understanding. This includes couples who are partners and not married, married partners (of any sexual orientation), siblings, parent-child or unrelated friends. My experience of 50 years working with all types of couples integrates a number of techniques and is tailored to each couple, depending on the presenting issues and situation.

The frustration of feeling misunderstood by a partner can lead to intense emotions and disconnection. In our sessions, will work together to increase awareness of your needs and dig deep to understand where those needs come from. Through that deeper understanding of yourself and your partner, intimacy and connection feels more natural and safe. As your therapist, I will help you communicate in ways you each can hear and strive to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where couples can share honestly and openly.

Whether you are struggling with infidelity, lack of intimacy or conflict, couples therapy can help restore trust, passion and sense of partnership in your relationship. I will help you identify your contribution to the current situation and figure out the steps needed to make the desired changes in your relationship. We will work to recognize each partner’s needs in the relationship and how to communicate effectively to have those needs met. We will work on enhancing intimacy through increasing acceptance of each other’s struggles and imperfections. Finally, I will help you create a shared vision for your future that will strengthen your sense of partnership and continuity as a couple.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Couples work is unique and interesting. What a lot of people don't understand it that of course you have different viewpoints - you are in different bodies, have different life experiences and are actually looking at different views! Many times the problem is simply communication: no matter how many times you tell your partner what you need, they just don't hear it. That is where I come in- helping people to get heard and also to hear clearly! In this way there can be a softening and a coming together, with both partners feeling loved and understood. You don't have to continue fighting, and counseling doesn't mean you failed. It is a gift you give your relationship to help nurture it.

I am a Prepare Enrich Therapist and use a strength-based approach with couples by capitalizing upon their resiliencies, talents, and coping abilities to increase positive interaction while building supportive, trust-based relationships. The benefit a couple will receive working with me is that each member of the unit will be encouraged and reinforced in their own responsibility for self-care to enhance the relationship itself and to facilitate a meaningful life together.
