Real connection
is possible.
Even now.
I work with couples who still care — but somewhere along the way, the distance crept in. My job isn't to take sides. It's to help both of you finally feel understood, and find your way back to each other.
Why I do
this work
If you've made it here, there's a good chance you're exhausted — not because you stopped caring, but because you've been trying so hard for so long without something actually changing. I want you to know that doesn't mean it's hopeless. It means you haven't had the right kind of support yet.
I didn't come to this work through theory alone. Before becoming a therapist, I served 21 years in the United States Air Force — an experience that shaped how I understand loyalty, showing up even when it's hard, and what it means to trust the person beside you. It also gave me a deep appreciation for the kind of strength that comes from being vulnerable enough to ask for help.
I work primarily with couples — those in distress, those who want to go deeper, and those preparing for marriage. I also welcome individuals doing meaningful work on their own relational patterns.
"My work is grounded in EFCT because I believe it's the most honest approach available. It doesn't teach you to be nicer. It helps you understand why you keep doing the same dance — and gives both of you a new way to reach for each other."Courtney Sanchez, LCSW
This is a practice where every person is seen with dignity — regardless of who you love, where you come from, or how you move through the world. I believe that healing is for everyone, and I am honored to walk alongside people from all walks of life.
How I work
with couples
EFCT is rooted in attachment science. We work with the emotional patterns underneath the conflict — not just the words being said.
I don't take sides. My job is to help each of you feel heard — and to understand what the other is actually trying to say beneath the surface.
I'm not interested in performance. We slow down enough to find what's actually happening — and practice something different in the room, not just as homework.
Many of the patterns that hurt relationships have roots in earlier wounds. I work gently with that history without making it the whole story.
Sessions are virtual, flexible, and designed to work with busy lives — not require a full schedule overhaul to show up for your relationship.
EFCT is one of the most rigorously studied approaches in couples therapy — with some of the strongest outcomes in the field. This isn't a philosophy. It's a proven method.

the right fit for you.
