Therapy services for couples, individuals & families

Couples & Marriage Counseling

Gottman Method couples therapy in Reno and online across NV, IA & FL.

If you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel more like roommates than teammates, or simply want to protect a good relationship, couples counseling gives you a structured place to do that work. Using the Gottman Method, I help couples strengthen and enhance communication, deepen emotional connection, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict with intention and skill.

This is one of the most extensively researched approaches to marriage counseling, so the tools we use are proven rather than improvised. Together we’ll move past blame and toward what actually works for the two of you.

• Communication that lowers conflict instead of escalating it
• Tools to repair after a fight and reconnect
• A clearer, kinder way to handle the issues you don’t fully agree on

Individual Therapy

One-on-one support for singles and individuals at any stage.

Individual therapy is space that belongs entirely to you. Whether you’re moving through a life transition, feeling stuck in the same relationship patterns, managing anxiety, or working on your sense of self-worth, we’ll focus on practical change you can feel in everyday life.

Many of the people I work with are single and want to understand their own patterns before, or instead of, bringing a partner into the room. That work is just as valuable, and it’s entirely yours to direct.

• Life transitions, stress, and major changes
• Self-worth, anxiety, and personal growth
• Understanding and shifting relationship patterns

Affair & Betrayal Recovery

A structured, compassionate path forward after broken trust.

Betrayal, whether an affair, a secret, or another break in trust, can leave both partners feeling lost. Recovery is possible, and it follows a process. I help couples move carefully through the stages of healing after infidelity: making sense of what happened, processing the pain honestly, and rebuilding trust in a way that feels real rather than rushed.

This work is never about excusing what happened or deciding who was right. It’s about giving you both a safe, guided space to figure out what you want next, and how to get there with intention.

For a closer look at how this unfolds, read my guide to rebuilding trust after an affair.

• A clear process for moving through the aftermath

Substance Use & Addiction

Counseling and court-ordered evaluations from a licensed LCADC.

As a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), I provide counseling for substance use and addiction for individuals and for the relationships affected by it. Whether you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol or substances, in early recovery, or supporting someone you love, we’ll work at a pace that respects where you are.

Court-ordered substance use evaluations. I’m able to conduct court-ordered substance use evaluations. If a court or your attorney has requested an evaluation, reach out and let me know exactly what has been asked for, and I’ll walk you through the next steps.

• Counseling for substance use and addiction
• Support for partners and family members
• Court-ordered substance use evaluations

Relationships & Premarital

Support at every stage, from dating to preparing for marriage.

Strong relationships aren’t built only in crisis. Many couples come in early, while things are good, to build skills before problems take hold. Premarital and relationship counseling is a chance to understand each other more deeply, talk honestly about expectations, and learn how to handle conflict before it ever becomes a pattern.

If you’re dating, newly committed, or getting ready to marry, we’ll set a foundation you can rely on for the long run.

• Premarital preparation and honest expectation-setting
• Skills for the early stages of a relationship
• A stronger foundation before challenges arrive

Families & Children

Help for parents, kids, and families navigating change together.

Families go through hard seasons, a big move, a divorce, a new blended household, or a child who’s struggling and pulling away. Family counseling gives everyone a place to be heard and gives parents practical ways to reconnect with their kids and with each other.

We’ll focus on communication, structure, and the small daily shifts that help a household feel calmer and more connected.

• Parent and child communication
• Navigating divorce, blending families, and transitions
• Reconnecting as a household after a hard season
