Relationships hit rough patches, often when deep-seated personal struggles get in the way. But these rough patches don’t need to end your relationship.
Rely on the guidance of an expert, like Dr. Bradford Stucki a licensed marriage and family therapist, who has worked with nearly a hundred couples on these issues. From established therapy frameworks to beyond-conventional support, this is your relationship’s safe space—a place where a positive reset is both possible and plausible.
No perfect relationship exists. Yours is different, so the only approach to adopt is a uniquely fitted one.
Talking to your partner can feel like running into a brick wall. You’re talking, but they aren’t listening. Or they’re just staring at you, or the ground, or the wall. You don’t feel heard and feel stuck. It’s the same loop. Every. Single. Time.
Work with me to learn new ways to communicate to create lasting change and enhanced connection.
You used to want to share everything with each other. Now, you feel more like roommates than partners.
Rediscovering the connection that brought you together is possible, through investing in your relationship and consistently practicing research-based recommendations.
Nothing cuts deep like infidelity or broken promises. It is a dreadful wound no one should ever deal with. However, it happens, and to more people than you realize.
Work with me to recreate your relationship to one of trust and emotional connection.
New jobs, children, relocations, or health challenges strain even the strongest relationships.
Learn to navigate these changes as a team and turn rough edges into opportunities for growth.
9+ years of specialized experience in therapy means I am adept at creating a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard and valued.

Typically, sessions last 4–6 months on an every other week basis. I meet with couples both in person and online. We will look at communication patterns, root causes, and discuss strategies for change.
Your relationship deserves this moment of attention.

Answers to common questions about couples therapy and working with me.
Both partners can express their concerns in a safe, structured environment during our sessions.
We’ll identify negative interaction patterns, explore underlying emotions, and develop new ways of connecting. Each session feels customized — because it is!
While every couple is unique, most see meaningful improvements within 4–6 sessions, particularly when they practice strategies between sessions. The number of sessions depends on the couples’ commitment to create change, the magnitude, and the complexity of their problem.
We’ll regularly assess your progress and adjust our approach accordingly.
This is common! The free 15-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to meet me and ask questions.
Many reluctant partners feel more comfortable after this initial conversation. Couples therapy is most effective when both partners are committed to doing the work of change.
I recommend giving couples therapy three sessions to try it out and gauge you and your partner’s level of interest.
When I’m not in session, you might find me playing pickleball with friends, playing with my kids or two cavapoo pups, reading a Tom Clancy book, or nerding out on Star Wars!
I am in-network with several major insurance providers. During our consultation, we can discuss your specific insurance plan and coverage options.
