Many therapists help you talk more. I help you change the loops you keep repeating with direct insight, proven tools, and the kind of clarity most couples never find in the room.
Reframe | Repair | Rewire: Instead of cycling in distance or blame, you’ll learn how to repair emotional ruptures, restore trust, and build shared rituals of connection. My goal isn’t to help you stop the fighting—it’s to help you untether from the limiting beliefs and feel like partners again, moving forward with clarity and choice.
Skills for Conflict Without Collateral Damage: Arguments themselves don’t doom relationships—it’s the way you process them. I teach you structured tools like the Intentional Break Protocol and the Order of Conversation so you can start to see conflict as an oppourtunity to deeply connect and repair. You’ll leave with conflict skills you can actually use outside the therapy room.
Clarity on Emotional Patterns: You’ll finally see the deeper loops driving your conflict—not just the surface arguments. Using tools like the Couple Forward Compass and MAPSS, we trace fights back to the survival styles and attachment wounds underneath, so you stop arguing about “what happened” and start understanding why it keeps happening.
Together, we focus on building rituals of connection and intentional practices that last well beyond our sessions. This is where the work takes root in your daily life. You’ll leave with a framework for living differently, not just talking differently.
Real, lasting change is possible — and it’s built one intentional step at a time.
The goal isn’t just to stop repeating old patterns — it’s to move forward with clarity and choice.
Once we’ve mapped your patterns, we move step by step through conflict strategies, de-escalation protocols, and repair rituals. Each session leaves you with skills you can use immediately — tools that work in real time, not just in theory.
This isn’t endless, “how does that make you feel?” talk. It’s structured, strategic work designed to create change.
Building skills isn’t about piling on more “tools.” It’s about recoding the programs running underneath — the automatic patterns that drive disconnection.
In these early sessions, we chart your emotional blueprints and conflict dynamics using the Couple Forward Compass and MAPSS. This isn’t about rehashing surface arguments — it’s about uncovering the deeper cycles that keep pulling you back into the same places.
With 20+ years of training, research, and clinical intuition, I help you see what’s really driving disconnection — so we can start to change it.
Context matters. You are unique and you have a story. My role is to listen with emotional intelligence and help you map the patterns, loops, and cycles shaping your relationship.
