Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy

Using the Gottman Method and other evidence-based treatment models, I help couples strengthen their relationships by improving communication, building trust, and managing conflict effectively. Whether you're navigating challenges, life transitions, or simply seeking to deepen your connection, I provide tools and a supportive space to foster lasting growth and intimacy.

Ambivalent Couples

If one partner is uncertain about staying in the relationship and unsure whether couples therapy can help, Surefoot offers a specialized, brief process to provide a supportive space for both individuals. This process honors each person’s emotions — offering understanding and guidance to the partner who is questioning while equally supporting the other partner. Rather than entering traditional couples therapy without full commitment, couples acknowledge and work with ambivalence, creating a thoughtful path forward. Couples that work through this brief approach may opt to continue in couples therapy, making for a smooth transition with the same therapist.

Co-Therapy

When appropriate, Surefoot partners with Fortune Family Therapy to offer co-therapy for couples. The rate for sessions is the same, but you have two therapists.

This is a collaborative approach that brings a number of unique advantages. With two therapists working together, couples benefit from added support, including the option for one-on-one breakout sessions to help clarify individual concerns and improve communication. Co-therapy also ensures that each partner is equally supported, reducing feelings of isolation by maintaining a balanced dynamic — there are always two therapists for two participants. Additionally, the presence of a co-therapist provides built-in clinical observation, allowing therapists to gain deeper insights and offer more effective, well-rounded guidance throughout the process.
