The Private Mastery
for the Power Couple
Welcome to The Intimate Path™ for high-achievers who view their partnership as their greatest endeavor.
In your professional world, you are the decision-maker, the visionary, and the expert. You understand that elite performance requires investment, strategy, and trusted counsel. Yet for many high-achievers, the most vital asset - the partnership at the center of it all - is the one area operating without a roadmap.
If you are a CEO, Founder, Physician, or Creative Leader, you know that friction at home isn’t just personal; it quietly impacts your energy, focus, and future.
Online Therapy for Busy Couples
Research-based help for romantic relationships. Sessions are conducted via Telehealth video appointments for residents of Washington State.
Introducing The Intimate Path™
A structured and deeply personalized approach for couples ready to move beyond managing their relationship and begin mastering it.
Rooted in over 30 years of clinical experience and advanced training in relationship science and somatic therapy, this work helps couples transform conflict into collaboration and build a deeply connected partnership.
Drawing from Gottman Method Couples Therapy, somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems, and strategic relational work, my process integrates emotional depth with practical clarity.
You don’t need a passive listener; you need a therapist with the depth and discernment to meet you where you are.
Cultivate Lasting Love
Our sessions are designed to deliver tangible results, helping you make significant progress toward your relationship goals. Whether your relationship is struggling or you seek to deepen your bond, we'll assess your current relationship through a structured process with well-defined objectives. We will set clear, achievable goals for the future, guiding you toward a mutually satisfying relationship.
Gottman Couples Therapy is an evidence-based and research-informed modality that provides a targeted, measurable path to achieving your relationship goals. Instead of spending years in therapy without learning the necessary tools to resolve conflict.
My Why
Healthy relationships create ripple effects that reach far beyond the couple themselves - touching families, communities, and the generations that follow. Supporting strong, loving partnerships has been at the heart of my work and continues to guide the path I walk alongside the couples I serve.

My training that supports the depth of this work:
Ways I Support Couples
-
Conflict is an opportunity to understand your partner better. Learning to use empathy and curiosity to understand each other's struggles and unspoken need underneath the conflict. I help foster peace in relationships and teach you how to communicate in a way that is respectful and compassionate.
-
Through our sessions, you’ll learn how to communicate your thoughts, needs, and desires and create opportunities for deep connection, trust building, and sexual intimacy. Feeling safe, seen, heard, and valuable to our partners and a healthy dose of goodwill, laughter, and friendship increases emotional intimacy, leading to a better sex life as well as a healthier relationship overall.
-
Healing from a breach of trust/infidelity begins with honesty with ourselves and each other. With the safety of my expertise, we will explore the underlying issues that may have contributed to the infidelity, work through feelings of betrayal and hurt, and learn effective strategies for rebuilding trust and intimacy.
-
I will coach conversations where partners can openly communicate the perspectives, concerns, and expectations regarding money in a safe and neutral environment. I will mediate discussions and facilitate constructive dialogue, provide tools for improving financial communication, and decision making.
By gaining a deeper understanding of each other's financial beliefs and behaviors, couples can work together to develop a shared financial plan, set common goals, and establish healthy financial habits that promote unity, trust, and mutual respect in their relationship. Ultimately, couples counseling can help couples navigate financial conflicts, strengthen their bond, and build a solid foundation.
