My Approach to Helping
With experience in relationship counseling, I guide couples through difficult times and help them achieve lasting positive change. In couples therapy, we will hash out any recurring conflicts and learn skills to better manage conflict in the future. We will practice vulnerability and honesty to create a relationship full of trust and respect. Whether you are recently married, or have been married for 30 years, I am here to help.
Building strong, lasting relationships requires work, but the rewards are immeasurable. As your therapist, I create a safe and supportive space to help you reconnect with your partner and cultivate a more fulfilling connection. Utilizing evidence-based approaches like Integrative Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I guide you in expressing your needs effectively and fostering empathy for your partner's perspective. Drawing from the Gottman Institute methods, I equip you with tools to manage conflict productively and build a stronger foundation for your relationship. Through a compassionate yet directive approach, I encourage respectful communication and help you rediscover the emotional connection that drew you together. Successful relationship therapy requires dedication from both partners. I am here to guide your journey, but true progress hinges on your willingness to invest in your relationship. My overall approach is humanistic, emphasizing empathy and understanding while providing direction to foster positive change.
