I'm a Certified Gottman Therapist with extensive training in conflict management, improving communication, and rebuilding trust. I've also noticed that deciding to go to therapy tends tconjure up every TV or movie depiction of a client and therapist sitting in a dimly lit room while the client talks and talks about their problems. They never show the actual work that is necessary for real change to happen. They just show weekly sessions, and BOOM… an epiphany is made and they’re all better. Sadly, many of us have been in therapy on and off for years, mistakenly thinking that this was all that was necessary. You want more than that.

But let’s also be honest: You don’t really want a therapist who will just sit there and ask, “…and how does that make you feel?” You want someone who will finally help you become the best version of yourself. Someone who will call you on your B.S. if it gets in the way, challenge you and show you the skills you need to propel your life forward.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve helped people overcome roadblocks in their life by becoming the best version of themselves using the Gottman Method and CBT – and I want to help you do the same. Growing up in Eugene, I come from a multi-generational family of psychologists and therapists, and have “breathed the air” of psychology, so to speak.
