Most couples who find me online are not here for “maintenance.” They are here because something feels like it is breaking. You might recognize yourselves in some of this:
You keep having the same fight in different costumes. Nothing ever really resolves.
One of you feels ignored, unloved, or disrespected, while the other feels constantly criticized or never good enough.
You have lost emotional or sexual intimacy and do not know how to get it back without a huge blowup.
There has been betrayal, secrecy, or broken trust, and simple “communication tips” feel laughably small compared to the pain you are in.
You have tried therapy before, but it felt too slow, too soft, or you left feeling like nothing actually changed.
If that is you, my work is built for exactly this kind of relationship. I specialize in complex, high conflict, high pain marriages and long term partnerships.
What does working with me actually feel like? I am not a “smile and ask how that makes you feel” therapist. Here is how I work:
I will interrupt you when necessary.
When you start running the same script that has never worked, I jump in and redirect, so you do not waste your time or money re-enacting the same fight in my office.
I use real world tools, not vague theory.
I pull from evidence based methods and my own frameworks like The Bridge Index™ to diagnose where the relationship is breaking down and give you step by step ways to repair it.
I am quite comfortable in the deep end.
Affairs, sexual issues, addiction, rage, years of resentment. All of it is just a my normal day at work. You do not have to edit or sugarcoat anything here. I've dealt with everything.
I push for both change and accountability.
I give homework, and micro commitments designed to shift the dynamic every single week. You will know exactly what you are working on between sessions.
If you want a counselor who will challenge you, advocate for your marriage, and tell you the truth gently but directly, we will probably be a great fit.
