Experienced and authentic counselor; highly recommend!
My wife, Margaret, and I have been seeing Sally for couples counseling over the past year, starting during our engagement and continuing into the early part of our marriage. She uses the Gottman Method and is certified in it, and her expertise really shows. Working with Sally has truly transformed our relationship — it’s been success after success. She’s challenged us to have important conversations we might have avoided otherwise and helped us identify and work through issues that would have easily been overlooked. Thanks to her guidance, our communication, connection, and understanding of each other have grown stronger than ever. We’re incredibly grateful for her time, insight, and compassion. I couldn’t recommend Sally more highly to any couple who wants to strengthen their relationship and build a lasting foundation.
Sally has made such a difference in our marriage. We’ve been seeing her for about a year for couples therapy, and her warmth, insight, and Gottman training have given us tools we actually use every day. She helped us communicate more honestly and feel more connected. If you’re looking for a marriage counselor who truly cares and knows how to guide couples toward real growth, I can’t recommend her highly enough.
When I initially reached out to Sally, I was in a really dark and low place, which, in turn, was damaging my relationship. From the first session, Sally created such an accepting and warm environment, which made me feel safe enough to explore my trauma. I felt truly understood and have really come to learn how my past wounds are impacting my relationship. Sally blends a harmonious combination of compassion and evidence-based approaches, helping my partner and I cultivate mutual understanding. We both really enjoy engaging in the Gottman-based exercises! I can honestly say that my partner and I went from the brink of separation to genuine commitment. We are both devoted to making our relationship not only work, but thrive. Looking forward to continued sessions with Sally! Thank you for all your incredible help, thus far!
I have seen Sally on and off for many years now, and I can say that she is extremely professional, compassionate, and skilled at helping others work past barriers and improve their lives. I highly recommend anyone to trust Sally for quality guidance and counseling. It’s hard to find a good therapist! 🩷
Sally is a wonderful and caring therapist! She provides the highest level of care to all of the clients that I have referred to her and who have been referred to me.
