Do you have trouble communicating with your partner? Do you find yourself fighting when you really just want to be heard? Are you getting caught in a cycle of blame, criticism and defensiveness? Feeling hopeless that you will ever have the kind of passion you had at the beginning?
We all want to be loved by someone who truly knows us -- both in our struggles and in our strengths. And we want to be on the same team with this person, supporting each other through life’s ups and downs.
If you are longing for this kind of partnership but just don’t know how to get it, I can help. Anybody can learn to have the relationship they want, it just takes practice.
You CAN create a caring relationship that is deeply connected and full of both trust AND passion (and the 'homework' is fun!).
I provide practical tools and resources -- tailored to each couple I work with -- to try on new behaviors, bring the romance back to the relationship, and develop communication skills. So you can continue growing as a couple long after your therapy is over.
It can be hard to find a couples therapist who both partners feel good about. I provide a safe container for each person to express their deepest concerns. When things get tough I can mediate difficult conversations to ensure that both partners feel fully seen and protected. I am skilled at being an ally to both of you.
The most important thing in choosing a therapist is finding someone who you feel a positive connection with and who you trust. I offer a free 20 minute consultation (for each partner) so you can get a sense of who I am, how I can help you, and what it would be like to work with me.
