Gottman Couples Therapist & Marriage Counselor in North Carolina & Florida
**Please read the FAQ’s and if you still feel we’re a good fit, please feel free to reach out!
Hi, there! I’m so happy you stopped by.
…But if you’re cruising the ‘net, looking for a couples therapist in Florida or North Carolina, then it’s possible things aren’t feeling so great in your marriage or partnership these days.
And for that, I’m sorry. It’s no fun.
That sounds simplistic, maybe, but it’s true. It’s not fun.
It doesn’t feel good at all to be struggling in your most intimate relationship…
To be questioning your bond…
To be feeling lonely, sad, or even resentful toward your partner.
Not only is it a whole lot of not fun, it can be incredibly draining, too. You might be spending a lot of time feeling confused, conflicted, or frustrated.
Maybe this is showing up as impatience with your partner or kids. Distraction at work. Less energy for friends, family, or the hobbies you used to love.
You’re really missing your person, and you’re missing the fun you used to have together.
You’re wondering if the two of you can ever get that back, or if your relationship is doomed.
I’ve got a piece of good news for you already: doomed isn’t a thing.
Relationships aren’t easy—many come with difficulties. Every couple is made up of two unique people, striving to get their needs met.
It’s not unusual to need a course-correction, and there’s so much value in the effort.
And no matter what the outcome, each of you can once again feel heard, seen, and good about where you’re headed.
This didn't happen overnight...
Do you feel like you’re constantly bumping up against invisible barriers? Like your relationship has become rife with misunderstandings and tension?
It’s likely you and your partner have been experiencing some degree of these things for a while now. Barriers have been built over time, consistently. And you might not feel heard at all. You might feel like your hurt is going unacknowledged…
Maybe even unnoticed entirely.
But we can work with that.
Healing a relationship through couples therapy means facing the tricky, sticky stuff. It requires your willingness to show up, get vulnerable, and be honest with yourself and your partner.
If you can do that, you can leave the rest to me.
I’ll help you and your partner…
✔️ Identify & eliminate negative communication patterns.
So you can get back to saying what you mean, meaning what you say, and hearing your partner’s best and most loving intentions.
✔️ Work through conflict—including past arguments.
The past doesn’t always stay there, does it? Whether the source of your conflict is new and fresh, or it’s built on all the “little” things that have accumulated over time, we’ll face and work through the tough things you’re both holding on to.
✔️ Learn effective listening skills.
No one likes feeling unheard or dismissed—especially by their partner. It might not be intentional, but it can chip away at your connection over time.
✔️ Increase intimacy, affection, and respect.
These are the things that set your partnership apart from even your closest friends… And they can be the first things to go when a relationship is strained. We’ll work to help you get them back and let them grow.
✔️ Strengthen your friendship.
Because great friends make the greatest partners—and bolstering the friendship foundation is crucial to healing your intimate relationship.
... together. ❣

Couples Therapy That Centers Around YOUR Goals
Listen, if there’s one thing I know in my heart, it’s this: you aren’t coming to me so I can tell you what I think your relationship should look like. As a couple, you have your own priorities, your own values, and your own unique set of experiences.
You have your own goals.
You just need help figuring out why you can’t seem to reach them.
And that’s where I come in. Through a variety of approaches hand-picked for you and your person, I’ll help you set and work toward meeting goals in every session. We’ll develop a detailed course of action that’s both direct and challenging—designed to get you where you both want to go.
