Welcome to my Blog

Thank you for stopping by. This space is where I share research, reflections, and practical tools drawn from my experience as a marriage and family therapist.

Are you a couple looking for clarity? A professional curious about the science of relationships? Or simply someone interested in how love and resilience work? I’m glad you’ve found your way here. I can help with that.

Each post is written with one goal in mind: to help you better understand yourself, your partner, and the hidden dynamics that shape human connection.

Grab a coffee (or a notebook), explore what speaks to you, and take what’s useful back into your life and relationships. And if a post sparks a question, or makes you realize you could use more support, I’d love to hear from you.

Be Well, Stay Kind, and Godspeed.
~Daniel

But apparently.. evidence is growing that human consciousness is connected to the universe at a quantum level… and this might change everything…

Happy couples focus on these fights

Dr. John Gottman’s 30+ years of research has consistently focused on what happy couples do differently than couples who unhappily struggle.

He used to call these couples the “Masters of Marriage.” Now, (I imagine in an effort to de-stigmatize cohabitating couples).

These happy couples are now called the “Masters of Relationships.” What can they teach us?

I swear I can help your marriage

You are in couples therapy to describe your feelings and hopefully, be heard and understood.

For many couples, my therapy office may be the only place where they can engage in authentic conversations.
