My Approach to Helping
Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt, and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help.
More Info About My Practice
Many couples only come to therapy when their relationship is in distress, sometimes deep distress, wondering if their relationship can be saved and often desperate to save it. As your relationship therapist, I help you understand your conflict cycle, address the unmet emotional needs underlying it, and begin to create the love and connection you long for. My practice focuses exclusively on couple therapy. In addition to thousands of hours working with couples in distress, I have completed hundreds of hours of clinical training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.
My Therapy Focus
Our initial focus in couple therapy is to create a safe space in which the two of you can discover how to be who you want to be together. Only you can know that. My job is to help you discover it. Integrating attachment science, mindfulness, and neurobiology, our first sessions will focus on understanding your conflict cycle and creating a path toward de-escalation and emotional reconnection. I am continually inspired by the courage my couple clients display and grateful to be their therapist, offering my own unique array of training, skills, and experience in ways that most support their unique journeys toward their shared futures. If you are ready to begin your journey of discovery and healing, please contact me for a 30 minute consultation.
