Couples Work

You’re here because you’re not connecting like you used to. You’re noticing that you’re getting into arguments more frequently and you don’t feel like you can express yourself to your partner without it blowing up in your face.

You want to make a change because you can’t imagine life without your other half, but you don’t know where to start.

Fortunately, I can help you get back to that place where you delight in each others presence, learn to communicate in ways that don’t lead to blow ups, and help you regulate your own emotional activation.

Are you ready to reconnect?

Reconnecting and rebuilding

It wasn’t always like this. At the beginning of your relationship, things were good. You were excited to see each other and everything felt new and sweet.

But then things got challenging.

It started out with little things, as it always does, but then it became more than that. There’s this feeling like you’re both no longer on the same page anymore, but you know you want the same things, so what gives?

Ultimately, you can’t imagine doing this life without your person, but right now your person and you feel more and more like strangers.

There is a way forward, one where your relationship can heal and thrive again.

I’m glad you’re here, because I can help.

How I help

Human beings are wired to be in connection with one another, but when that connection gets disrupted, we can experience all kinds of symptoms.

The way I help my couples is by first creating a safe therapeutic relationship, one where you both feel supported in being heard. Studies have indicated that the most successful therapies are the result of the therapeutic relationship, and when people have secure attachments with each other, symptoms reduce dramatically.

I use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment science, and mindfulness to help you rebuild your relationship on a foundation of trust, safety, and deep appreciation for each other.
