All you need is love...right?
I love The Beatles!
But as a couples counselor, I know it takes more than just love to make a partnership work.
You need trust, understanding, and communication.
You need a roadmap to your partner's inner world - and sometimes, a little bit of soul searching.
As your therapist, my goal is to help you and your partner define and design your future together.

“We’ve been stuck for a long time. Too good to leave, too bad to stay. Terri brought clarity to our situation and we’re navigating a split in a healthy, productive way. We couldn’t have done it without Terri.”
“My husband and I came into counseling begrudgingly. We hadn’t had sex in over a year... Terri helped us figure out the dysfunctional vibe between us and helped me get back the emotional love and support I needed to feel like I could give myself to my husband sexually.”
“Terri has been extremely helpful to me. She is understanding and approachable and very easy to talk to. I feel like I’ve gained a lot from my experience with her.”

Save money upfront.
Get reimbursed by your insurer.
Rather than take on the overhead costs associated with dealing with insurance companies, I prefer to pass that savings onto you in the form of lower fees and more comprehensive service. However, I can supply you with the paperwork needed for reimbursement by your insurer.
"You can spend a lifetime being curious about the inner world of your partner, and being brave enough to share your own inner world, and never be done discovering all there is to know about each other. It's exciting." - Dr. John Gottman
What To Expect From Your First Appointment
To help me better understand your problems as a couple, I'll ask you a series of questions to help me understand your relationship dynamic and reveal what those underlying issues might be.
We'll learn about your emotional and romantic connection, your relationship philosophies, stressors on your partnership, shared values and goals, and any individual areas of concern that may be affecting how you relate to your partner.
Once we've laid the groundwork, we'll begin the learning process. Each person comes to my practice with a different set of communication habits—some are more productive than others. Together, we'll work on establishing healthier patterns of addressing conflict so you can forge a healthy, long-lasting bond.
Complete one joint session and one individual session
In addition to a joint session with your partner, we'll sit down one-on-one and talk about you.
Complete a relationship assessment
The Gottman Relationship Check-Up is a diagnostic tool that helps me evaluate how your relationship functions.
