Relationships are beautiful and complex entities.

In the intimacy of romantic partnerships, many emotional wounds can surface, and I love supporting partners in identifying the patterns that lead to conflict and frustration. Whether it be to strengthen an evolving relationship or support an amicable uncoupling, it can be invaluable to have the support of a therapist to reflect back the blind spots that often develop within relationships.

My work as a relationship therapist focuses on finding creative ways to bring vitality and intimacy back into the dynamic by exploring needs and communication styles. In our work together, I will seek to build a deeper understanding of one’s self, one’s partner(s), and how the unique elements that each bring to the table interact. I will work collaboratively with you to interrupt and prevent conflict patterns and to strengthen the existing bond.

All of this will be done in the service of building greater intimacy, resilience, authenticity, and safety in the relationship.

I work with most couples using a mix of The Gottman Method to enhance communication and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) to help heal the deeper attachment wounds of which partners are sometimes not aware. I integrate these two proven techniques with experiential techniques to gain a deeper understanding of what is beneath the relationship challenges.
