About Stalin

I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life. I specialize in marital counseling, addiction recovery, and working with teens—areas where connection and hope are vital. Whether facing relationship struggles, substance use, or teen challenges, I offer empathy, clarity, and support.

I specialize in helping couples strengthen and restore their relationships through the Gottman Method. Whether preparing for marriage, navigating conflict, managing anger, addressing addiction, or healing after infidelity, I equip couples with concrete tools that rebuild trust, improve communication, and renew intimacy.

When couples work with me, they can expect a structured, research-based approach grounded in the Gottman Method. Our sessions are focused and intentional. We identify the negative patterns creating conflict, distance, or resentment and work toward practical, measurable change.

You will learn concrete tools for improving communication, managing conflict, regulating anger, and rebuilding trust. If addiction or infidelity is part of your story, we will address it directly — with accountability, clarity, and a step-by-step plan toward healing. I strive to create a space that is both honest and safe. I will challenge unhealthy dynamics while treating each partner with respect and compassion.

For premarital couples, we focus on building a strong foundation — clarifying expectations, strengthening friendship, and preparing for long-term connection.

For those who desire it, faith can be thoughtfully integrated into the process.

My goal is not simply to reduce conflict, but to help you rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection, and strengthen your relationship for the long term.
