Couples Counseling
The Three-Part Assessment: Rebuilding Trust & Strengthening Your Relationship
Part 1: Understanding Your Relationship Story
In our first session together, both partners will share what brought you to therapy and walk through the FULL STORY of your relationship—your milestones, joys, struggles, and challenges. We’ll EXPLORE YOUR CORE BELIEFS about love and commitment, ASSESS key aspects of your BOND (trust, conflict patterns, emotional connection, shared rituals, and future aspirations), and identify the strengths and pain points shaping your dynamic.
Part 2: Individual Deep Dive
In the second session, I meet with each of you separately. This allows you to share your personal story, needs, and concerns openly. We’ll assess your personality, core motivators, and relational patterns to uncover underlying differences or tensions. This step fosters clarity, self-awareness, and trust in our therapeutic work.
Part 3: Rebuilding & Moving Forward
In the final phase, we bring everything together. We’ll review key takeaways, clarify your shared goals, and outline a structured path forward. Using research-backed interventions from the Gottman Method, we’ll focus on RESTORING TRUST, improving communication, and strengthening your connection with tailored strategies that fit your unique relationship.
HEALING is possible. Let’s get to work.
Individuals
Reclaiming Your Story, Rebuilding Your Strength
Individual work is about telling your story in a supportive, strengths-focused space. Together, we EXPLORE what truly matters to you, uncover the root of your struggles, and identify what YOU CAN CONTROL to move forward.
Using a trauma-informed approach, I help you reframe challenges into a Hero’s Journey or Survivor Narrative—highlighting your resilience, growth, and the DEEPER MEANING that can emerge from pain. Through CBT, Gottman Method, and Narrative Therapy, we focus on TRUTH-SEEKING, self-compassion, and stepping into the role of the courageous, fair, and compassionate leader of your own life.
Consultation
Let’s Connect – Free Consultation
Fill out the form below or call for a free 15-30 minute consultation. We’ll discuss what’s going on in your life, answer any questions about my approach, and determine if we’re the right fit to work together.
I work best with individuals and couples READY TO BE IMMERSED in the healing process—balancing deep therapeutic work with a warm, supportive alliance. My focus is goal-oriented therapy, not indefinite maintenance. Most clients work with me for 12-30 sessions, though some complex cases—like Persistent Depressive Disorder—may require longer-term care.
My mission is to help you BECOME YOUR OWN THERAPIST: strengthening your relationships, support system, and overall well-being so you can move forward with confidence. Therapy is a stepping stone—not a lifelong necessity. Let’s start your journey toward healing today.

SCORING: To score the CSI-32, you simply sum the responses across all of the items. The point values of each response of each item are shown above.
INTERPRETATION: CSI-32 scores can range from 0 to 161. Higher scores indicate higher levels of relationship satisfaction. CSI-32 scores falling below 104.5 suggest notable relationship dissatisfaction and may indicate need for professional support.
Once Relationship satisfaction scores are stabilized at reasonable levels and Trauma symptoms are significantly reduced we have done our work. We will use this measure before, during (every 6 sessions), and following treatment.
