Private Mastery
for Exceptional
Partnership
Welcome to The Intimate Path™ a private, elevated approach for discerning couples who understand their partnership is one of life’s most vital and enduring achievements.
You are thoughtful, accomplished, and deeply invested in the life you have built. Yet, at times, something essential within your relationship feels strained, distant, or unresolved.
I offer private, depth-oriented couples therapy for discerning partners seeking meaningful, lasting change. I work with a select number of couples each day to ensure truly personalized care.
You know that friction at home isn’t just personal; it quietly impacts your energy, focus, and the direction of your life. You are not looking for surface-level solutions. You are seeking clarity, direction, and a way back to connection that feels authentic and enduring.
If you are ready to engage your relationship with intention and depth, let’s start now with a private consultation.
Private couples work:
Virtual and accessible wherever life takes you.
The Intimate Path™
A structured and 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.
Achieve Meaningful Growth with Purpose
We go beyond conversation, using structured, evidence-informed strategies to clarify your relational goals and accelerate your progress.
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 positively impact our families, our communities and create a ripple effect that benefits our world and planet. By fostering strong, loving partnerships, we contribute to a healthier and more harmonious society. With these intentions in mind, I have dedicated my career.

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.
