Couples Therapy

Struggling with your relationship? You are not alone.

Many of my couples come into our work together struggling with any number of the following common relationship issues:

  • Communication Problems

  • Emotional Disconnection

  • Conflict

  • Sexual Intimacy Issues

  • Trust Issues

  • Attachment Injuries

  • Anxiety and Insecurity

  • Life Transitions and Stress

Working Together

In my practice, I utilize the framework of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to help couples work through their issues, starting with recognizing the importance of our attachment needs being met by those closest to us and understanding the turmoil that can ensue when they are not.

Instead of focusing on "who started" the argument, I work with couples to help them identify how they both fall into patterns that overlook each other's relational needs. I help clients acknowledge these needs in themselves and each other and develop communication strategies that draw their partner in rather than push them away.

I also incorporate the methods and research of Gottman Therapy, helping couples with practical strategies that can be incorporated as they begin to develop a positive cycle of connection rather than conflict.
