Rebuild trust. Strengthen your bond. Navigate life’s challenges—together.
Whether you’re dating, married, co-parenting, or rebuilding after a rupture, every relationship faces struggles. As a licensed therapist (LCSW) who utilizes the Gottman Method, I offer evidence-based couples counseling to help you grow together, not apart.

Why Couples Counseling?

Couples come to therapy for many reasons, including:

• Communication struggles

• Conflict or frequent arguments

• Trust issues or infidelity

• Intimacy concerns

• Life transitions like parenting, infertility, or postpartum stress

• Feeling emotionally disconnected

• Deciding whether to stay together

What Couples Counseling Looks Like

Our practice follows the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to improving relationship satisfaction, communication, and emotional connection.

• Virtual sessions together to explore your relationship history, challenges, and goals

• Online relationship questionnaires to identify strengths and areas of concern

• One individual session with each partner to understand your personal perspectives and history

• A final assessment session to discuss clinical impressions and collaboratively set goals for therapy

Sessions are 90-minute conjoint therapy sessions with both partners present. Occasionally, individual sessions may be recommended. You may also receive guided exercises to practice between sessions to strengthen your connection.

What We Work On in Couples Therapy

• Rebuilding trust and repairing after betrayal

• Navigating the mental load of parenting or perinatal challenges

• Increasing emotional intimacy and physical closeness

• Managing stress, anxiety, and external pressures as a team

• Developing shared meaning and future goals

Fees & Insurance for Couples Counseling

Couples counseling is private pay only and is not covered by insurance. The private pay rate is $170 per session, charged to the card on file after each session.

• Sessions are typically 90 minutes

• One-time individual sessions (during assessment) are 45–60 minutes each

• All sessions are virtual

Can We Use Insurance for Couples Counseling?

No, our practice does not accept insurance for couples sessions. Couples counseling is only private pay for several important reasons:

• Insurance requires a diagnosed client. In order to bill insurance, one partner must meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis, and therapy would need to focus on that partner’s condition. The second partner is seen as a support participant rather than a client in their own right.

• Legal protections are not equal. The individual with the diagnosis is granted certain legal protections and confidentiality rights that do not extend equally to the other partner.

• Gottman Method is not diagnosis-based. Our approach focuses on building emotional connection, increasing productive communication, and developing shared meaning in your relationship. It does not involve diagnosing either partner.

Because of these ethical and clinical considerations, all couples counseling is billed privately.
