Palo Verde Therapy 

Teaching couples how to collaborate, love and increase communication. 

Welcome to Palo Verde Therapy

At Palo Verde Therapy LLC, we specialize in helping couples strengthen their relationships through compassionate, evidence-based talk therapy. Our name is inspired by the Palo Verde, Arizona’s state tree, which embodies resilience and adaptability.

The Palo Verde is remarkable—its green bark contains chlorophyll, allowing it to thrive even in challenging conditions. When storms cause the trees to fall, they are resilient enough to rise again and continue to grow. Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice the tree’s unique and diverse features—a beautiful metaphor for human growth and transformation.


At Palo Verde Therapy, we believe everyone has the ability to overcome life’s challenges, just as the Palo Verde does. Through therapy, we help you navigate struggles, rediscover strength, and cultivate a more fulfilling and connected life. 


At Palo Verde Therapy LLC, we are proud to be certified in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to couples therapy designed to help partners strengthen their relationship by improving communication, deepening emotional connection, and effectively managing conflict. Our certification ensures that we bring proven innovative strategies and tools to guide couples toward lasting and meaningful change in their relationship.
