Couples Therapy

“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new. —Ursula K. Le Guin”

General reasons couples seek therapy:

  • having issues with communication

  • struggling to heal from a trauma or loss

  • experiencing sexual/intimacy challenges

  • navigating nontraditional relationship dynamics

  • unsure if it is time for a healthy breakup

What is couples therapy?

Human connection is essential to life. Love and relationships provide emotional protection; however, sometimes we forget how to be in relationship to one another in a healthy way. In couples therapy, we will work together to identify the negative cycle you and your partner get stuck in, and work to resolve, understand and manage this cycle as it plays out in the present moment so you are better equipped for a successful future. I utilize both Gottman method techniques and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to explore the negative emotions and patterns that contribute to conflicts in relationships. Together we will enhance the ways you communicate and work towards not only resolving conflict but also finding meaning and intimacy in your relationship.
