Meet Dr. Blackham

I’m Here to Help

I believe that with the right support, any relationship can change for the better. Over the years as a licensed marriage therapist, I’ve seen hundreds of couples reconnect and rebuild trust—even when things feel overwhelming, uncertain, or hopeless.

Exclusively Work with Couples

All my work—my education, my career—is completely focused on couples.

I’m not an individual therapist who occasionally works with couples; my approach, passion, and expertise is all centered on relationships.

Pioneer in Intensive Therapy

Often an hour a week isn’t enough for couples to make significant change.

That’s why over 12 years ago, I was one of the first therapists to adapt and use emotionally focused therapy in an intensive format.

Since that time, I’ve provided intensive therapy to over 500 couples from nearly every state and across the globe.

Expert in Emotionally Focused Therapy

As a certified Emotionally Focused Therapy Supervisor, I have expert-level training in the most effective, gold-standard approach for healing relationships.

This means my clients receive proven, research-backed support to create lasting emotional connection and security in their relationships.

What is emotionally focused therapy

Specialized Care for Physician Couples

I specialize in helping physician couples navigate the unique pressures of their profession.

As the wife of a surgical oncologist for nearly 25 years, I understand the impact a medical career can have on a relationship. I’ve spent the last decade studying medical marriages and creating research-based programs specifically for physician couples.

Discretion & Professionalism You Can Trust

I have extensive experience working with high-profile clients in demanding careers, such as executives, entertainers, and leaders, who need a high level of professionalism and discretion.

I help them balance their personal and professional lives while navigating public scrutiny, intense workloads, and the pressure to maintain their image. This is particularly vital when a couple is recovering from an affair or another sensitive situation.

The Help You Need

You and your partner both deserve to feel heard and understood. Years of unspoken expectations and old patterns can keep you stuck, but with the right support, you can heal.

I create a space where difficult conversations feel safe and you can get to the root cause of the distress in your relationship.

The result? A stronger more connected relationship where you feel like you matter and can count on your spouse to be there for you when you need it.
