Humans are designed to be relational. But relationships can be complicated.

I want to help you get what you want, and be the best partner you can be. With therapy, like many of the best things in life, you get out of it what you put into it. In your couples therapy sessions, we'll talk about hard things. I'll ask tough questions. And as I tell all the couples I work with, I will not work harder than you, but I will work as hard as you do. So if you're ready to get some real work done and discover what's possible in your relationship, give me a call.

​"We got more out of two hours with you than 6 months with our previous couples therapist!"

All couples welcome

I have developed a reputation for working with couples on the brink of divorce. If one or both of you has one foot out the door and your relationship is facing seemingly insurmountable odds, I invite you to come see me before you make a decision that impacts the rest of your (and your children's) life. 

BUT that doesn't mean I only work with couples in crisis! I love working with couples at any stage because I believe this stuff works and I want to share it with as many couples as possible before they reach the point of calling it quits. I work with couples who are:

• Engaged or considering whether to get engaged and begin a marriage. 
• Newlyweds who have discovered that maintaining a healthy relationship after a year or two of marriage takes work! 
• Dry and stuck. Couples who have developed a rut with caring for kids and want to revitalize the connection they once had. 
• Dealing with infidelity. Trust has been broken, but it can be repaired and intimacy can be restored. 

• Traumatized. Where one or both partners has unresolved trauma that is showing up in the relationship, and they're finally ready to deal with it. 
• Healthy already and want to keep investing in their relationship to build even better communication and long-lasting intimacy.  
• Not a couple! I see individuals all the time to develop relationship skills. Whether your partner is unwilling to participate in therapy or you don't have a partner at the moment, this methodology will make you better at relating, which will improve every relationship you a part of. 

RELATIONAL LIFE THERAPY

When working with couples (or individuals interested in honing their relationship skills), I use Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) approach. I completed RLT certification and have been using this approach since 2008, and I am convinced it is the most effective and potentially life changing couples therapy out there. Not a month goes by that I do not hear, "We got more out of two hours with you than 6 months with our previous couples therapist!" I credit that with the work we do in RLT. It is dynamic, directive, and honest. 

As an RLT therapist, I also believe that I am in this work with you! We are all in this battle to become better and have more fulfillment in our relationships. 

FORMAT

Couples therapy begins with bi-weekly sessions (every other week), to get started addressing the issues that brought you here.  Then as you learn and practice the various skills we talk about in our sessions, we will meet less frequently, every 3 weeks or 4 weeks, until we reach the conclusion (together) that you no longer need therapy. 

Couples therapy sessions last 100 minutes and can occur in person at my office in Issaquah (preferred) or virtual (as long as you're calling in from the state of  Washington orTexas). 

PRICING & PAYMENT

Couples therapy sessions cost $400 per 100 minute session 

I accept payment in the form of cash, check, all major credit cards (processed via Square), and Venmo.
