Relationships can bring us to both the best of times and the worst. I am fascinated by exploring and growing behaviors and patterns that make relationships work, while also creating a space to explore and process times that have been hurtful or potentially where someone has been left feeling betrayed. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a space that feels non judgmental and accepting as couples therapy typically brings with it many difficult topics of discussion. Navigating a relationship is no easy feat, even for people who have years of experience. Having a couples therapist who is comfortable exploring new areas and patterns in relationship can be invaluable

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Couples usually come for marriage counseling or couples therapy when a difficult relationship has become painful. This could result from a crisis, an ongoing struggle, a difficult life circumstance, or a betrayal. For many people, the situation feels either scary or hopeless. My goal is to help you rebuild a loving close relationship. I work hard to provide a safe, caring environment where each of you will feel heard and validated that your opinion matters.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

Feeling connected loved, accepted, and secure in a relationship is vital to our emotional and physical well-being. Couples often get caught in "negative cycles of communication," which is detrimental to the relationship. Feelings of anxiety, fear, or loneliness heighten yet are often covered up by "anger or "numbness." One or both of you might go on the defense and possibly someone just "shuts-down. I help partners recognize their unhealthy cycle, team-up against "negative cycle," and learn new ways to connect and communicate that help each of you feel more connected, safe, and secure. Couples. I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) when working with couples.

I have completed Level 1 training in the Gottman Method. I use this approach when working with couples. I begin with the Gottman Assessment, which consists of more than 300 questions. This assessment provides information such as relationship satisfaction, communication styles, viewpoints on whether you feel known by your partner, trust, infidelity issues, commitment levels, and much more. The assessment provides a roadmap of the journey towards improving communication and the friendship with your spouse.

Anger is not an aphrodisiac nor is it helpful in getting more of what you want. Couples in conflict often focus too much energy on changing their partner. The problem is that each partner does not have direct control over the other. The way out is of this dilemma is to learn how to not get so upset over what you dislike in your partner. I teach each partner how to improve their relationship by first modifying their own behavior. By having better control over your emotional and behavioral reactions you can more constructively communicate, negotiate and influence your partner. I teach you how to get your message across and positively influence your partner so that you can enjoy the results!

A committed relationship isn't always one in which marriage is involved. Couples therapy is an approach to help you to learn to listen to each other deeply. Intimacy, transparency, and vulnerability are key to your relationship success. In addition, learning to soothe yourself prior to your communication so that you can treat each other in new and supportive ways is helpful. Lastly, learning to have special regard to the uniqueness of your partner's needs can help your couple's relationship to succeed. (I am an ally and treat all couples.)

I facilitate constructive and open dialogues to strengthen relationships. Through effective communication strategies and conflict resolution techniques, I guide couples in addressing issues and enhancing emotional connection. My goal is to help partners rediscover shared goals, improve mutual understanding, and cultivate a healthier and more fulfilling partnership.
