Couples Counseling Santa Cruz Strengthening Relationships With The Gottman Method

Reconnect & Strengthen Your Relationship

Every relationship experiences challenges, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you're struggling with communication issues, conflict, trust concerns, or emotional disconnection, couples counseling can help you and your partner rebuild a stronger, healthier relationship.

I specialize in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps couples enhance intimacy, improve communication, and create lasting relationship satisfaction. I’m here to help you strengthen your connection and move forward together.

Is Couples Therapy Right for You?

Couples counseling can be beneficial at any stage of a relationship—whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or navigating a life transition. You might consider therapy if you and your partner are experiencing:

  • Communication breakdowns or frequent misunderstandings

  • Recurring arguments that don’t seem to resolve

  • Loss of emotional or physical intimacy

  • Trust issues or healing from past betrayals

  • Feeling disconnected or like “roommates” rather than partners

  • Struggles with parenting, finances, or life stressors

No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you and your partner can feel heard, understood, and supported.
