Meet the Couple Therapists

Kelsey is one of the 12 therapists in the state of Arizona trained at Level 3 in the Gottman Method, a science-based approach developed from over four decades of research with real couples. She helps partners strengthen their Sound Relationship House by building love maps, enhancing emotional connection, and learning to manage conflict with respect and skill. Her sessions are structured, practical, and deeply supportive—ideal for couples who want concrete tools they can use outside of therapy.

“I help couples turn toward each other, repair after conflict, and rebuild trust that lasts.”

Specialties: Midlife and Later-Life Couples, Marital Challenges Post-Retirement, Codependency

Eileen works with couples navigating communication problems, distrust, life changes such as the birth of a child, feeling overworked with little time to spend with one’s partner, differing views and perspectives, and infidelity. Eileen also enjoys working with couples in the second half of life who are navigating transitions like retirement, shifting roles, and emotional distance after years together. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, as well as other theoretical models,  she helps partners identify and change the negative cycles that keep them disconnected, and create new patterns rooted in emotional safety and trust.

“I help long-term partners soften old patterns, speak their truth, and reconnect from a place of emotional security.”

Fee: $270 for 90-min intake and follow-up session; $180 for 60-min session
Availability: In-person in Scottsdale or virtual Thursday – Sunday

“I help couples break the cycle of disconnection and build a bond where both partners feel seen, heard, and safe.”

1. Start with a 20-minute consultation
We require both partners to attend a brief consultation call. This allows us to ensure a good fit between your needs and our therapeutic approach. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for how we work.

2. Structured, research-based therapy
We follow a focused process designed to create lasting change—not a quick fix. Most couples begin to see meaningful shifts within 8–12 sessions, starting weekly and then tapering to biweekly or monthly as progress continues. But real transformation takes time. Like physical rehab, emotional healing and new relationship patterns require consistency and commitment. We ask our couples to trust the process, knowing it often takes three months or more to truly rebuild connection and establish new, healthier dynamics.

3. An investment that matters
Couples often wait six years before seeking help—but early support can make all the difference. If your relationship matters to you, don’t wait until it’s falling apart. Therapy is a significant investment—but one that protects and renews the most important bond in your life.
