Transform Conflict into Connection with the Right Tools and Support

Build the Relationship You Deserve

I help couples untangle years of miscommunication and replace it with clarity, compassion, and connection.

Feeling distant from your partner, stuck in cycles of conflict, or unsure about your future together? Whether you're newly engaged, navigating long-term challenges, or simply hoping to reconnect, couples counseling can help you move toward a more fulfilling relationship. 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.

Signs It Might Be Time for Couples Therapy

Couples often wait too long to get support. If you recognize any of the following signs, now might be the right time to start:

  • Recurring arguments that don’t get resolved

  • Emotional distance or feeling like roommates

  • Struggles with intimacy or affection

  • Difficulty discussing important topics without conflict

  • Lingering resentment or unresolved hurt

  • Feeling stuck when trying to make decisions as a couple

Couples therapy in SLC can help you address these patterns with care and clarity.

How Gottman Method Couples Therapy Works

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is rooted in over 40 years of research into what makes relationships thrive—or fall apart. This structured and supportive process offers proven tools to help you:

  • Communicate more effectively

  • Rebuild trust after betrayals

  • Deepen friendship and emotional intimacy

  • Create shared meaning through aligned goals and values

  • Navigate conflict constructively rather than destructively

What to Expect from Couples Counseling in Salt Lake City

Step 1: Relationship Assessment

We begin with a thorough assessment that gives us a clear picture of your relationship dynamics:

  • Joint intake session to understand your relationship history and current challenges

  • Individual interviews to explore each partner’s perspective

  • The Gottman Relationship Checkup—a confidential, research-backed online tool that provides deep insight into your relationship’s strengths and areas for growth

Step 2: Feedback & Planning

Once we’ve completed the assessment, we come back together to review the results and co-create a tailored treatment plan. We’ll identify key goals and focus areas that are meaningful for both partners.

Step 3: Weekly or Biweekly Sessions

In ongoing sessions tailored to your needs, we’ll work together using strategies from the Gottman Method and complementary techniques like DBT and CBT for Couples. Each session is a focused opportunity to build skills, resolve conflict more constructively, and deepen emotional connection.
