It’s all about the relationship.

“We keep arguing about the same things.”

In couples therapy, your relationship is the focus of our work. We examine the patterns of communication, assumptions, and unspoken longings that keep you stuck. An argument about something seemingly trivial can carry a much bigger question: Do I matter to you? Can I count on you? Do you really know who I am?

I adapt my approach to the needs of each couple, but primarily I draw from well-known, evidence-based techniques including Gottman therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), among others.

I take an active, practical approach. We’ll work through exercises in sessions, and you’ll practice together at home. The aim is to help you interrupt familiar arguments, learn how to have deeper discussions in a safe and accepting environment, and to start feeling like partners again.

My goal is for you to leave with tools you can use on your own—so that when the next problem comes along, you have ways to work through it together without depending on ongoing therapy.

Request a complimentary consultation to discuss whether this approach is right for you.
