COUPLES THERAPY

If you are here on this page, my hope is that you are seeking support and guidance to address whatever is not working in your relationship. In my work with couples, I often see these areas of distress show up in these four main areas:

  • Communication difficulties

  • Increased conflict or difficulty navigating conflict

  • Emotional and physical distance – and often challenges around sexual intimacy

  • Difficulties with ‘repair’ – reconnecting when one or both partners hurt one another

I draw upon the wisdom, skills training and solid research science of Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method (Level II trained), as well as my knowledge and experience from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy – especially for my clients where trauma is part of their relationship history for one or both of the partners. In addition, my 25+ years of clinical practice and 30+ years of marriage lend insight, commitment and experience to my work. 

I believe wholeheartedly that when couples put time and energy into their relationship to nourish and nurture their connection, transformation can happen!
