Relationship Counseling in Portland, Maine

A wooden dock extends over calm water with sailboats and anchored boats in the background. A leafless tree partly obscures the view, with the sun shining through its branches and casting reflections on the water. The scene appears to be at a boat harbor or lakeside during late autumn or early winter.

Strengthen Your Relationship, Heal Together

Every relationship has challenges. You may be experiencing communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, or trust issues. Relationship counseling offers a safe, supportive space to explore these challenges and strengthen connection.

I provide relationship therapy in Yarmouth, Maine and via telehealth throughout the state.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach designed to strengthen the friendship and emotional connection between partners, but these tools can be utilized for other relationships as well. It focuses on:

  • Improving communication and conflict resolution

  • Enhancing understanding of each partner’s needs and values

  • Building trust and shared meaning

  • Supporting long-term relationship satisfaction

By combining the Gottman Method with trauma-informed approaches, couples can navigate past hurts, rebuild trust, and grow together in healthier ways.
