Relationship 
Therapy

Relationships of any kind come with their own inherent challenges. Perhaps you and another person struggle to communicate effectively, feeling as though you’re going in circles, unable to find common ground on the issues that matter most. As Esther Perel reminds us, it’s not always about what we’re fighting about, but what we’re fighting for. Building on this, psychologist Howard Markman suggests that most conflicts stem from one of three core needs: power and control, care and closeness, or respect and recognition.

My goal is to help you uncover what you are truly fighting for, while fostering kind and constructive communication, strengthening connection, and protecting the aspects of your relationship that matter most to you. This work isn’t limited to romantic partnerships—it applies to any meaningful relationship. I am Gottman Level 1 & 2 certified, and I bring these principles to support deeper understanding, empathy, and collaboration.

"Great relationships are built on respect, empathy, and a profound understanding of each other. Relationships don't last without talk, even for the strong and silent type." - John M. Gottman
