"Most people are going to have two or three marriages or committed relationships in their adult life. Some of us will have them with the same person” - Ester Perel
"It's not your job to improve your partner. That's solely your partner's job. Your job is to be the best version of yourself that you can be."- Julie and John Gottman
Couples/ Relationship work
Relationships can mean marriage, partnership, platonic significant others, friendship, and many other titles. As a relationship therapist, I blend the intersection of the Gottman Method and Somatic modalities. By blending the Gottman approach—which provides a structured, evidence-based roadmap for dismantling destructive communication patterns and rebuilding friendship—with somatic work, therapy moves beyond just disrupting unwanted patterns. Partners learn not just to identify their cyclical conflicts, but to recognize the exact moment their nervous systems shift into a state that communication can actually happen. Understanding this allows each person in the relationship to safely ground themselves and each other so that they can be truly vulnerable in real time, moving them past defensive loops and into a space of deep, embodied connection where sustainable intimacy and mutual regulation can truly take root.
I support couples/partnerships across all stages of life, all gender/sexuality/family expressions, and partners who are exploring or practicing ethical non-monogamy
