Feel like a team again.
Most couples I meet want the tension to come down and the same fight to stop taking over. They want to get through a hard conversation without another blowup or shutdown.
We slow down the moment the conversation goes off track. I check what each of you heard and help you try the conversation again.

When couples reach out
Sometimes the crisis is obvious. Sometimes it has been building quietly.
An affair, a blowup, or a serious conversation about separating can make the need for help clear. Other couples come because the distance has slowly started to feel normal.
You may disagree about when the problem started or what needs to change. You do not need to settle that before the first appointment.
I will ask each of you to talk honestly about what has happened. I will not assume that both of you carry the same responsibility.

Explore individual therapyHow couples therapy begins
We start by understanding the relationship before deciding what needs to change.
The first several appointments are an assessment. I meet with you together and individually, review the Gottman Relationship Checkup, and then talk with both of you about what I see and where I think the work should begin.

A little about me
Hi, I’m Jason.
I’m a counselor with more than 13 years of experience in hospital, residential, nonprofit, and private-practice settings. These days, most of my work is with couples.
Outside work, I’m married and raising three children. I read when I can, play music, and dance salsa and bachata.
More about me
Starting therapy
The first appointment is for telling me what has been happening.
You don’t need to decide the future of the relationship before you schedule it. The FAQ has current fees and telehealth details.
