Couples Work
Working with couples and relational systems is one of my greatest passions. Having the relationship present in the room allows us to explore patterns, address challenges, and work through concerns as they unfold in real time.
I approach couples therapy without preconceived ideas about how a couple “should” look or function. Whether you have been together for many years or are just beginning your relationship, I believe that all relationships require intention, care, and ongoing work. Every couple develops its own way of relating, shaped by each partner’s history, values, culture, and lived experiences. It is both normal and expected for relationships to move through phases that challenge existing dynamics and invite growth or change.
My goal is to create a space where both partners feel safe, heard, and respected as we work collaboratively toward your shared goals. To support trust, transparency, and fairness in our work together, I practice a No Secrets Policy, which is outlined in detail on this page.

No Secrets Policy
When engaging in couples or family therapy, it is important that all participants understand the perspective and boundaries I bring to this work. I approach families and couples as systems, and my role is to understand each person’s experience while ensuring that everyone feels heard, respected, and understood. I do not take sides or align with one individual over another. Instead, I help create a space where conflicts can be explored openly, honestly, and thoughtfully. Once goals are identified, I work collaboratively with all involved to support progress toward those goals.
​
As part of this approach, you are entrusting me to use my professional judgment regarding individual communications. My No Secrets Policy means that information shared with me individually—whether by phone, email, or other means in between sessions—may be relevant to the work of the couple or family as a whole. I therefore reserve the right, though not the obligation, to bring such information into the couples or family therapy space if I believe it is clinically important to the treatment process.

This policy is intended to promote transparency, fairness, and trust, and to support meaningful and effective relational work.
