A Research-Based Approach to Couples Therapy in Eagan MN

Much of my work with couples is grounded in the Gottman Method, built on decades of research into what helps relationships thrive, and I integrate other therapeutic approaches based on your relationship's needs. Together, we'll use practical, evidence-based tools to help you:

Understand what's keeping you stuck
Improve communication
Learn healthier ways to navigate conflict
Rebuild trust
Strengthen friendship and emotional connection
Create a relationship where both partners feel heard, understood, and valued

Every relationship is different, so therapy is always tailored to your unique relationship and goals.

The process

What to Expect from Couples Therapy in Minnesota & Iowa

Starting couples therapy doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Every new client begins with a free 20-minute consultation, a no-obligation conversation to see if we're a good fit. From there, here's what you can expect, whether we meet in person in Eagan or online.

01Start Together

We'll meet for a 90-minute session where I'll learn about your relationship, your strengths, your concerns, and what brought you to therapy.

90 minutes, together
02Individual Sessions

Each partner will have one individual 45-minute session to share their perspective, personal history, and relationship experiences.

45 minutes each
03Build a Roadmap Together

We'll review all the information I have gathered and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your relationship's strengths, challenges, and goals.

Your plan
