Relationship Therapy
Relationship Therapy
I work with couples to strengthen connection, communication, and trust. My approach is collaborative and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect for each partner’s experience. Together, we’ll identify your shared goals and work toward creating a relationship that feels more secure, connected, and fulfilling.
I draw on leading, evidence-based models rooted in attachment and systems theory, including:
Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Strengthening friendship, improving communication, and building shared meaning.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helping partners understand and transform emotional patterns to foster safety and connection.
Somatic and Mindfulness Practices: Integrating body awareness and nervous system regulation to support calm, presence, and emotional balance during challenging moments.
I can be a good fit for couples navigating attachment wounds, betrayal, such as infidelity, those feeling disconnected and looking to improve communication, or facing life transitions, such a parenting or retirement. I can also be a good fit for those exploring discernment counseling, premarital work, or non-traditional relationship structures, including open and polyamorous partnerships.
“Here we finally find someone we really love and then the most difficult things start emerging - fear, distrust, unlove, disillusion, resentment, blame, confusion. Yet this is a form of love's grace - that it brings our wounds and defenses forward into the light. For love can only heal what presents itself to be healed. If our woundedness remains hidden, it cannot be healed. The best in us cannot come out until the worst comes out.”
