Couples Therapy for Relationship Problems in Chandler, Arizona
If your relationship feels stuck in the same arguments, distant, or harder to trust than it used to be, couples therapy can help you understand what's changed and how to move forward together. This can show up as constant conflict, a slow drift apart, a breach of trust after infidelity, or the strain of a major life transition — including having a baby.
I work with couples who want to understand what's happening beneath the surface and change it — not just manage it. Using the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we identify the patterns keeping you stuck, rebuild trust where it's been broken, and help you respond to each other in a way that feels steadier and more connected.
Online sessions available across Arizona, Colorado, and Washington.
My approach is grounded, structured, and evidence-based — helping you rebuild connection without blame.

Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity
Infidelity or a significant breach of trust can leave both partners feeling unmoored — hurt, angry, defensive, or unsure if the relationship can recover. Therapy doesn't rush that process or assign blame. It creates a structured space to understand what happened, process the impact, and decide together — with clear eyes — what rebuilding trust actually requires.
Support for Relationship Changes After Having a Baby
Relationship challenges after a baby often connect to individual experiences as well. Some couples also explore postpartum therapy or therapy for dads and partners after having a baby to better understand what each person is navigating individually.
Couples Therapy FAQ
-
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy focused on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning. It gives us concrete tools to interrupt negative patterns and rebuild trust and connection.
-
EFT looks at the emotional bond between partners and the cycles that keep you feeling disconnected or reactive with each other. It helps you understand the deeper needs and fears underneath conflict so you can respond to each other differently
-
Yes. Rebuilding after infidelity takes time and isn't linear, but couples therapy provides a structured space to process what happened, rebuild safety, and decide together how — or whether — to move forward. There's no set timeline, and both partners' experiences matter in that process.

es. Big transitions — including the transition to parenthood — bring more exhaustion, less patience, and less time for each other, which can lower your capacity and make communication harder. It doesn't mean your relationship is failing; it means you're in a high-stress period.

You don't have to wait until things feel severe. Couples therapy can help as soon as you notice patterns like ongoing conflict, disconnection, or feeling stuck — whether that's tied to a specific event, a transition, or something that's been building over time.
-
Yes. It helps you slow things down, understand what's actually happening underneath the conflict, and communicate more clearly. It's not about assigning blame — it's about helping both of you feel understood and work through things together.

Ideally, both partners participate, but support can still begin even if one person is unsure. In some cases, starting individually can help clarify what's happening and open the door to working together later.
-
Yes. Couples therapy is offered online, which makes it easier to attend sessions without added logistics — whether that's coordinating childcare with a young child or simply fitting sessions into a busy schedule.
