Katherine Vines
As a wife and mother, I understand that relationships are lived out in the everyday realities of life. I also work alongside my husband, which has given me a personal appreciation for the importance of communication, teamwork, friendship, and intentionally investing in our marriage. Working collaboratively, I offer practical tools and thoughtful guidance to strengthen connection, improve communication, and build healthier ways of relating. I draw on the Gottman Method and attachment-informed approaches, adapting my work to the needs of each couple rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
For those who share a Christian faith, I also offer an approach that thoughtfully integrates faith, values and spiritual life within relationships. I offer a complimentary 15-minute introductory consultation to answer any questions you may have and help you decide whether my approach is the right fit for you.
