As relationship therapists, we aim to help individuals and couples overcome the challenges in their relationships. We believe that every person deserves to experience fulfilling relationships and that, with the right support, this is possible. Our approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to helping individuals and couples build stronger connections with one another. Through personalized sessions, we strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and work towards their goals. Whether it's navigating communication issues, managing conflicts, or dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, I am dedicated to providing the support and guidance necessary to help clients overcome their obstacles and create a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
My goal is to help you identify and resolve issues that may be preventing you from getting more of what you want in life. My style is warm and empathic, yet I can be challenging when it is needed in order to achieve growth.
Depending on each client’s needs, Gretchen’s approach is tailor made, whether it be within the privacy of productive therapeutic meetings or within the courts for the benefit of the client. Each family member is considered to play a role in the emotional, behavioral and relational patterns with the family system. Gretchen’s approach allows for every member of the family to make changes and heal, as she doesn’t identify a single member as the scapegoat or “identified patient. Gretchen’s clients include high net-worth individuals, families, sports celebrities, entrepreneurs and executives.
First hand, I know the power that negative beliefs can have on one's life. I also know what freedom and healing from those beliefs feels like. Wow, it's amazing!
I am weak. I am not enough. I am invisible.
Have you had similar thoughts to these or know that somewhere in yourself you do not fully love and accept yourself?
Together, we can identify those beliefs and work toward healing and freedom. You do not have to be in-chained to those beliefs and doubt forever.
Throughout my journey, I have spent time stateside and abroad, which gave me an even greater passion for people and helping people understand themselves more and truly find their voice. During my career in education, I became equipped in understanding young people and how to assist them in navigating life along with their parents. In addition, this lead to me specializing in trauma, the use of EMDR, and mindfulness methods as a source of healing. I enjoy working with individuals from young adolescents to mature adults, couples and families including blended families.
With support and healing, you will find your VOICE again.

Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt, and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help. My practice focuses exclusively on couple therapy. In addition to thousands of hours working with couples in distress, I have completed hundreds of hours of clinical training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.
In years of practicing counseling and doing my own training and research, I have learned that besides knowing "Why" it is also important to know "How." I find many people knowing where their trauma or problem is coming from, but they are still not able to move forward and resolve the issue. My focus is on understanding the client's challenges and then helping them move forward with practical and manageable steps.

I take what I have learned through experience and education and assist my clients in the areas that create stress, anxiety and depression.
