Therapy for Audacious Humans
Live relationally. Love boldly.
Discover Relational Empowerment.
Have you ever found yourself in a relationship (romantic or otherwise), where you can see it going off the rails, and you’re certain that if the other person just changed, everything would be fine?
You may find yourself stuck in the same patterns, the same pitfalls over and over again – sometimes for months, or even years.
Maybe you’ve even ended relationships due to the disconnect, and moved on to another one only to find…
You’re STILL somehow running into the same issues – things like:
Living with unresolved conflict, having a hard time expressing yourself during moments of disagreement
Feeling like you’re living in an emotional vacuum, or that you’ve lost your sense of self
Believing you always need to guess what your partner is thinking, and worrying about what happens if you get it wrong
And at some point, you may start to notice that the common thread in all those relationships isn’t the partner you’re with…it’s you.
Now, as uncomfortable a realization as that is, it’s actually a REALLY GREAT one.
Know why?
Because you can’t change your partner…but you CAN change yourself.
By pursuing and investing in your personal growth, you’re getting at both the source of the problem and the source of incredible potential: yourself.
You’ll no longer find yourself having the same arguments on repeat, or banging your head against the same wall over and over again, for one simple reason – YOU will be different.
You’ll be the pattern-breaker. The relationship-shifter.
The key to healthy, lasting relationships doesn’t start with ‘fixing’ the other person, it starts with you.
When a person says they’ve lost the spark/love/desire in their relationship...it tells me the deeper work that needs to be done is exploring how this person has lost themself along the way.
As Esther Perel says, “When you lose desire, you have lost a fundamental connection with yourself.”
A disconnection in a relationship can suggest one or both people have disconnected from themselves and that is what we get to work on in therapy – how to rediscover yourself.
This can include looking at the version of you today, pieces you may have lost along the way, and whether to invite those pieces back into your life or leave them behind and create something altogether new.
It’s an exciting journey to begin.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will:
Truly get to know you and won’t get scared off
Help you feel seen, heard, and respected while still calling you on your bullshit
Work beside you every step of the way to live in integrity with yourself
You’re in the right place.
Therapy is your chance to look in the mirror and own your part in any dynamic you want to change. That takes guts — and it's the most powerful thing you can do.
I work with couples and individuals virtually across Florida, New York, and Massachusetts, and in-person in Naples, FL for weekend marriage intensives. Whether you're looking for a Gottman-certified couples therapist, a weekend marriage intensive, or individual therapy with a relational lens — I'd love to work with you.

The Gottman Method & Relational Life Therapy
In my work with couples and individuals, I draw primarily from two frameworks: the Gottman Method and Relational Life Therapy (RLT).
As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I use science-based tools developed from over 40 years of research — concrete, actionable skills you can use outside of the therapy room.
Relational Life Therapy, developed by Terry Real, focuses on personal accountability and the patterns we learned early in life that tend to push the people we love away. RLT teaches you how to show up as your most grounded, connected self.
Together, these two frameworks give us both the tools and the insight to create real, lasting change.

Want to go a little deeper?
The Gottman Method is built on research from thousands of couples over four decades. Rather than focusing on what's wrong, it identifies the specific patterns that predict relationship success — and teaches you how to build them. Think of it as a blueprint for a relationship that actually works.
Relational Life Therapy starts from a simple but powerful premise: most of us were never taught how to be in relationships. We learned to cope, to protect, to perform — but not how to stay connected to ourselves while staying close to someone else. RLT helps you unlearn those patterns and replace them with something that actually serves you and your relationship.
Whether we're working on your relationship with a partner, a family member, or yourself — these two frameworks together give us a powerful, complementary set of tools to work with.
When You Work With Me, You Will...
● Learn to live the life YOU desire.
Step outside the box and discover what works for you and your unique relationships - romantic and otherwise.
● Feel understood and accepted.
You’ll learn to uncover the layers of who you are with curiosity and without shame.
● Gain confidence in yourself.
You’ll leave therapy with confidence in your skills, your strengths, and your ability to handle the hard parts of life.
● NOT get a cookie-cutter approach.
You’ll never hear stale platitudes or annoying cliches from me (okay, maybe a cheesy cliché here and there, but only if the mood is right!) .
Redefine Your Relationship to Yourself First.
The heart of my practice stems from a core belief: that the most meaningful work you can do for any relationship starts with yourself.
Whether you're in a relationship or not, the skills that make relationships healthy — staying connected to yourself under pressure, listening without defensiveness, speaking honestly without cruelty — are skills most of us were simply never taught.
The good news is, these skills don't just improve one relationship. They change how you show up in all of them.
“True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are. It requires you to be who you are.” -Brene Brown
My absolute passion is working with people like you – brave individuals who are audacious enough to want more out of life and are willing to roll up their sleeves and claim it.
