For dating, engaged and married partners...

Finding your person can be rough out in these proverbial streets. But building a lasting relationship together takes even more care and intention!


Maybe the same disagreement keeps coming back. One of you pushes to talk while the other pulls away. Conversations about money, parenting, or intimacy become arguments—or don’t happen at all. You care about each other, but finding your way back to connection has become difficult.


Or perhaps you’re preparing for marriage and want to build a strong foundation before you say, “I do.”


You don’t have to wait until your relationship is in crisis to give it care and attention.


Let’s understand what keeps getting between you!


I work with dating, engaged, and married partners to explore the patterns beneath recurring conflict and practice different ways of responding. Together, we can work on:

  • Feeling heard and understood without conversations becoming a battle.

  • Recognizing when emotions are overwhelming and finding ways to reconnect.

  • Strengthening friendship, affection, and emotional closeness.

  • Addressing wounds from broken trust or infidelity.

  • Navigating parenting, finances, extended family, and major life changes.

  • Preparing for marriage with clearer expectations and shared goals.

I have completed Level 1 and Level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I draw on practical tools to help you navigate conflict, strengthen friendship, and build a meaningful life together. We’ll make room for both perspectives while addressing the behaviors that leave you hurt or disconnected.


Whether you’re preparing to say “I do” or hoping to rediscover “I still do,” let’s explore your next step together.


Virtual therapy is available throughout North Carolina, with in-person appointments available in Fayetteville, NC, by request.

Christian faith integration is available if you choose; clients of all faiths and no faith are welcome.
