Couples Counseling

Relationships can be incredibly rewarding, and are often also extremely challenging. You do not have to go it alone: couples therapy can be very effective in working with the challenges, needs, and desires that partnership brings. Whether you are stuck repeating the same fight over and over, seem to be in a free-fall of disconnect or broken trust, or are facing a new life event together, our work will carefully build safer ground to address the dynamics, communication issues, and hopes and fears that may be impacting the quality of your relationship.

My work with couples draws in particular on modalities which understand how we are wired as humans for connection, including the empirically validated Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I am active and engaged in supporting you to break habitual and reactive ways of communicating that are no longer serving either of you, and to build the resources you need to discover and grow what you want more of in your relationship, and in your life. Some of the issues with which I work include:

• Loss of intimacy

• Communication breakdowns

• Affairs and betrayals

• Premarital counseling

• Parenting and pregnancy

• Decisions around having children

• Repetitive and destructive fighting

• Impact of early trauma on relationship

• Intercultural and interracial relationships

• Blended families

• Making plans for the future

If you are looking to end a cycle of hurt, rekindle intimacy, or simply find ways to communicate with more honesty and vulnerability I invite you to reach out and schedule an initial consultation or meeting with me.
