Let’s get

real.

Relationships take work. The sunset walks don’t fix conflict, disconnection, or the pressure of real life.

You’re two different people — and in tough times, those differences feel like a mountain.

The Couples Clinic offers practical, compassionate support to:

  • Rebuild connection and trust

  • Communicate clearly

  • Navigate high-stress roles (first responders, athletes)

  • Support neurodiverse dynamics

You’ll be surprised how powerful therapy is when you learn to communicate, connect, and dig through the hard stuff. Together.

I started The Couples Clinic because I have seen too many couples struggle to live up to the expectations society tells us to strive for. I offer practical, compassionate support for partners who want to communicate better, reconnect and have a relationship based on reality, not fairy-tales.

Relationship strengthening and tune-ups for couples at all stages of life, with focused support for neurodiverse relationships, first responders, and athletes navigating high-stress dynamics. You’ll be surprised to learn the power of connecting honestly, learning how to communicate your needs and digging through the pain you have endured. Together.
