COUPLES
Does it feel like you and your partner cannot understand each other any more? Do you wonder whether there is hope for your relationship? If you are struggling with anger and resentment, lack of connection and sexual intimacy, infidelity, parenting issues, teen conflict, substance abuse, or other issues that are blocking your connection, I will work with you to discover your goals for your relationship, and help you take specific, creative steps to restore and strengthen it.
My work with couples is informed by The Gottman Method, a renowned approach to relationship therapy that focuses on how partners seek or “make bids” for attachment and connection with each other, as well as how this process becomes complicated and can deteriorate when not examined and understood. In addition, I often draw on Emotion Focused Therapy, a complementary approach that also centers around attachment styles - how we bonded with our primary caregivers as babies and children - and how they shape our intimate, adult relationships.
