Couples & Family Therapy
Small adjustments, whole new dynamic
I provide telehealth couples and family therapy across Ohio. Most relationships do not need an overhaul. They need a few honest conversations, a referee who is on everyone's side, and some small adjustments that change the whole dynamic.
Who this is for
- Couples stuck in the same argument wearing different costumes
- Partners preparing for marriage who want to build habits before they need repairs
- Families where communication has turned into logistics, silence, or shouting
- Blended families, and families where one member's neurodivergence changes the rhythm for everyone
How I work
- I draw on Gottman Method couples work, family systems, and structural family therapy, chosen for your actual situation rather than a one-size manual.
- Every voice gets heard, including the smallest ones. Family sessions are not a tribunal for one member.
- We name the pattern, not the villain. Most stuck relationships are two or more people protecting themselves in ways that collide.
Fees
Sessions are $100 for 50 minutes, paid through Ivy Pay (cash, credit, debit, HSA, or FSA). I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Details on the fees page.
Questions people ask
Does couples therapy work over telehealth?
Yes. Research on telehealth couples work is encouraging, and practically it means no babysitter scramble and no arriving mid-argument from the same car. You each need a seat in front of the same camera and some privacy.
What if my partner will not come?
Come alone. Individual work on your side of the pattern genuinely changes relationships, and reluctant partners often join once they hear therapy is not an ambush.
Do you take sides?
I am on the side of the relationship you say you want. That means everyone gets pushed a little and everyone gets defended a little, usually in the same session.
Not sure if I am the right fit? That is exactly what the free consult is for.
Fifteen minutes, no pressure, no paperwork. You ask questions, I answer honestly, and if I am not the right therapist for you I will help you find someone who is.
