Couples Therapy in Fort Lauderdale
Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of fulfillment in our lives, but they can also bring challenges, conflict, and emotional pain. Over time, couples may find themselves simply having the same arguments, trying to manage problems or tolerate one another, especially when they have lost hope that their relationship can feel different. You may even find yourself quietly wondering, “Should I stay or should I go?”
With busy schedules, demanding careers, children, and the many responsibilities of everyday life, it can be easy for couples to lose sight of each other and the connection they once shared. Many people believe that online couples therapy is only necessary when a relationship is on the brink of separation or divorce. But couples therapy/ marriage counseling in Fort Lauderdale can be helpful long before a relationship reaches that point.
While couples counseling can help you better understand one another, break negative interaction patterns, and work toward rebuilding connection, it is not only a resource for couples in crisis. Online couples therapy can also provide a strong foundation for a healthier, more connected relationship.
Couples therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be an investment in your relationship and it can save years of stress, pain, and resentment. Deciding whether to begin couples therapy can feel overwhelming.

My Approach to Online Couples Therapy
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with training in systemic thinking, which means I consider the relationship dynamics, patterns, and experiences that shape how couples connect with one another. I have also received training in several evidence-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as other effective relational approaches such as Relational Life Therapy.
My goal is to help couples understand each other more deeply, communicate more effectively, navigate challenges, and rebuild connection. Because every couple is unique, I tailor my approach to your individual relationship, needs, and goals.
Here are the main approaches that inform my work:
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples uncover and express their deeper emotions and attachment needs. By identifying negative patterns that keep you disconnected, we work toward creating new moments of emotional bonding, security, and trust.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Based on decades of research, this method focuses on improving communication, managing conflict, building friendship, and creating shared meaning. I’ll help you strengthen your emotional connection through practical tools and structured conversations.
Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
RLT blends compassion with directness. It brings awareness to power imbalances, unhealthy dynamics, and the stories we carry from our past. This approach helps partners take responsibility, speak truthfully, and move toward a more connected and respectful relationship.
Culturally Sensitive Approach
I welcome couples from diverse cultural backgrounds including interracial, intercultural, interfaith relationships.
