Couples
Whether you’re hoping to build a foundation for a healthy relationship, revitalize a listless one or rescue one that has gone awry, couples therapy can be one of the most important investments you’ll ever make.
Many couples who come to see me care about each other deeply, but get stuck in negative communication cycles that leave them feeling angry, alone and disconnected. I take a non-blaming approach that helps couples understand and shift out of repetitive conflicts, develop more effective ways of communicating and come together in a loving and fulfilling way.
I am Certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFT), a highly effective, evidence-based treatment. If you have tried couples therapy before, and felt that it was unbalanced, unhelpful, or that your therapist just didn't get you, EFT might be the right fit. 90% of couples who engage in Emotionally Focused Therapy experience significant, sustainable improvement.
I work with married, unmarried, LGBTQIA, straight, monogamous and non-monogamous couples at any stage of the relationship to:
- Improve communication
- Decrease conflict
- Work through underlying issues
- Increase empathy and emotional engagement
- Recover from affairs and infidelity
- Understand and respond to each other’s needs
- Have a more satisfying sex life
- Resolve parenting differences
- Navigate separation and divorce
- Work as a team to face life’s challenges
Non-Monogamy and Kink
There are still many people out there—therapists included—who hear about your choices and assume you have commitment issues, lack boundaries or are playing out harmful power dynamics. You may be able to convince them otherwise... but you shouldn't have to. As your therapist, I offer curiosity without judgement. If you and your partner are on the same page, your lifestyle will not be the focus of our work together. If one of you is interested in opening up or experimenting with something new, but the other isn’t so sure, I provide agenda-free support for you to figure it out together. Healthy relationships come in many shapes and sizes. My job is to help you cultivate a strong connection that serves as the foundation for rich, satisfying exploration— whatever form that takes.
