Couples Therapy
Couples therapy offers a collaborative space to strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and reduce conflict. At Life Lab, we use evidence-based methods tailored to your needs — whether you’re working through recurring arguments, life transitions, or simply want to build a stronger connection.
My work is grounded in well-established, research-supported interventions, selected based on your goals and needs. Some of the treatments I practice include:
Approaches and Frameworks
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Based on decades of research on what makes relationships succeed or fail, this approach helps couples reduce conflict, increase understanding, and build a foundation of trust and intimacy.
Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IICBT)
Combines acceptance and change strategies to address differences, reduce polarization, and increase closeness.

What to Expect
Couples therapy typically begins with an assessment phase, where we identify patterns, strengths, and areas of concern. From there, we develop a shared plan that includes:
Clarifying goals and expectations
Building communication and problem-solving skills
Practicing strategies in-session and between sessions
Tracking progress and making adjustments together
Sessions are active and collaborative — you won’t just talk about problems, you’ll work on solutions and strategies you can use in daily life.
Working Together
If you’re considering therapy, I offer a free consultation to talk through your goals and answer any questions.
