Couples Counseling in Salt Lake City

Stop fighting the same fight. Start building something better than before.

Stuck in the Same Destructive Cycle?

You keep having the same arguments, or avoiding them altogether. One of you feels unheard, the other feels criticized, and the connection between you has started to feel strained or distant. You’ve tried to fix it, but nothing seems to stick.

I offer couples counseling in Salt Lake City and across Utah to help you step out of these patterns and start relating to each other differently. Using research-informed approaches like the Gottman Method, I’ll help you build skills to better understand each other, get beneath the surface of what’s happening between you, and develop more effective ways of communicating and repairing conflict.

This work isn’t about assigning blame, but about helping both of you feel heard, rebuild trust, and create a relationship that feels more stable, connected, and workable moving forward.

My practice in the Salt Lake Valley offers specialized support grounded in the Gottman Method—an evidence-based approach to rebuilding trust, improving communication, and strengthening emotional bonds.

Difficulty discussing important topics without conflict
Lingering resentment or unresolved hurt
