My Approach to Helping
Are you struggling in your relationship to your partner? Is there too much conflict and not enough connection? Perhaps there are layers of issues in your relationship like lack of communication, resentment, lack of boundaries, addiction, affairs, broken trust, parenting differences, or loss of pregnancy.
I help couples to sort through "stuck" areas in their lives, process emotions to gain clarity, and find patterns in their lives they would like to change. I have passion for helping couples on issues like: learning to communicate better, know your partner's inner world better, dialog about conflict, repair old wounds, atone for affairs, and make changes to patterns in the relationship that are circular and dysfunctional, learn to hear what your partner needs emotionally, make changes in how you treat your partner, practice how to ask for needs to be met in a safe setting.
I use Gottman method techniques, Emotion Focused Therapy exercises, and Mindfulness based interventions in sessions and I sometimes utilize EMDR with trauma symptoms.
Reach out and get in touch today. I'd love to hear from you.
