Leadership, entrepreneurship, and high-performance careers demand a lot—and relationships often absorb the impact. This is couples therapy designed for committed partners, navigating the unique challenges of one or both partners being in a leadership seat.

“The quality of our lives ultimately depends on the quality of our relationships.”

- Esther Perel

Couples come to therapy both to “stay on track” and to manage distress when things get tough. Each relationship looks different but the principles for a healthy, sustainable one are the same: Be each other’s best friend; look out for each other’s best interests. always be building trust; talk about the hard things and repair when things go sideways; have fun; encourage each other’s autonomy and create shared dreams.

• We’ll schedule a virtual consultation and discuss the couples therapy process. I want you to be prepared for a thorough assessment before we take action. My goal is to set you up for long-term success.

• I’ll send you a relationship assessment from The Gottman Institute. I use evidence-based assessments and intervention to support your relationship.

• I’ll walk you through the research principles of successful, long-term relationships and how to apply these to your relationship. We’ll repair fractures as necessary and build on your strengths.

• We’ll practice skills, discuss insights, learn to repair, and maintain your work.

All sessions are held virtually.

I offer a complimentary 30-60 minute virtual consultation. Clients must reside in Oregon*, California, Arizona or Ohio.
