Couples Therapy

I have trained with the Gottman Institute which provides an evidence-based practice, clinically proved to improve the quality of relationships, as well as The Couples Institute by learning and applying The Developmental Theory of Couples Therapy.

It is true that 69% of problems within relationships are perpetual, however, pain and suffering within the context of your intimate relationship need not to be. Couples therapy can lead to a more intimate connection between you and your partner and deepen your understanding of one another. In couples therapy you will learn how your attachment style impacts the here and now of how you relate to your partner and how to attend and attune to one another in ways that feel supportive and loving. You will learn to self sooth and co-regulate your emotions in a manner that is healing. You will focus on friendship, intimacy, emotions, how to process conflict, values, and repair trust.

Couple therapy begins with a 4-5 session assessment phase beginning with understanding what brings you to therapy, relationship history, and separate individual sessions. Additional relationship questionnaires are provided depending on the preference of the couple. In the final assessment session we review the information provided during the previous assessments and talk about goals and next steps.

If you are struggling with feeling connected in your relationship, want deeper intimacy, or have had a rupture in trust, couples therapy can offer a space for healing and repair.
