Create a Relationship You Want Your Kids to See.
Feeling like roommates? Can’t stop spiraling into the same stomach-churning fights over and over? Missing the way your relationship used to be? Feel misperceived and misunderstood often? Or do you just want to avoid all that?
I can help. For almost two decades, I've been working deeply with couples to help them unravel the tangliest of relational webs. I tend to have a good sense of which threads to pull to get those emotional knots and defensive walls unraveling so that you can get back to being best friends.
Whether you’re just feeling a little off-track or someone’s said the D-word, we will get you some clarity, movement in a better-feeling direction, and a plan that works for YOU in the first 3 weeks.
The 3-Week Jumpstart
We begin with a 3-week jumpstart of private therapy sessions for all couples.
Week 1: We'll start with a joint 2-hour couples session. In this session, I gather lots of information about the history of the relationship and what’s happening now (I might even get to see you fight or otherwise get stuck in interactions), and we’ll also start working to get you some momentum in a better-feeling direction.
Week 2: I meet with each person individually for 1 hour each. If there's anything that's hard to say in front of the other person...this is your time to say it. I also collect a more in-depth personal history of each partner.
Week 3: We come back together for a 1-hour joint session. By this time, we should have absolutely made progress, and we will all be a lot more clear about where you are versus where you want to be, and I can be very clear about what I think it will take to get you there. You’ll leave this session with recommendations and options for moving forward.
After your 3-Week Jumpstart, there is a lot of variability, flexibility, and choice in how you move forward. I have some flexible and comprehensive programs that may or may not be a good fit for you. All the information is below.

What About The Cost?
An off-track relationship can be costly. It has the power to ruin the most tropical of vacations, the nicest of dinners, and the most romantic date nights. Stressful relationships decrease productivity and can block success in other areas of your life (not to mention that the average divorce costs between $10-20K 😳).
Our work together is an investment that could save you tens of thousands down the road. My hourly rate is $227 per hour, and I have options for programs and packages that include sessions at a discounted rate. The 3-week jumpstart comes with a 20% discount for a total investment of $897.
Couples Programs That Work With Your Schedule
What gets in the way for many couples looking to improve their relationship is overly-full plates, lack of support, and not enough time. This is why I've created flexible programs for couples that are a comprehensive mix of in-person sessions and online programming you don't have to hire a babysitter for or take an hour off work to attend.

Take The Next Step
The first step in becoming a new client is scheduling a New Client Call. In this complimentary 20-minute casual conversation, we can get clear about your goals and next best steps.
You do not have to be clear about ANYTHING before you schedule this call. You’ll have a chance to tell me about what’s going on and where you would like to see change. After I have a good sense of the situation, I’ll talk about how we might get you to where you want to be and share some more information about how I work. You’ll have a chance to ask as many questions as you’d like.
At the end of the call, I will make recommendations and send more information about pricing, forms to fill out, and how to set up appointments, OR I can send referrals if it becomes clear that what I offer isn’t a good fit for what you have going on or I think of someone or something that may be a better fit.
