Thanks for your patience.
I'm guessing that you're at a kind of turning point in your life and relationship--a spot that's asking something different from you and your partner. Whether in thoughts, mindsets, feelings, behaviors, or identities, these shifts will hopefully allow you to accelerate toward the more fulfilling, connected relationship you want with more confidence and clarity.
In the midst of life transitions, sitting with big grief, managing conflict, reckoning with the impacts of trauma, navigating a lot of stress, and hoping to improve the richness and connection in current relationship, we're really aiming for change... expansion of who we are and how we can show up to the life in front of us.
If this sounds like something you're experiencing, I might be able to offer the support you're hoping for. If you're ready to move forward, you can reach out to schedule a free, 20-minute consultation here. If you're not quite ready or have some other questions, well, I've got some more information here for you!
I provide couples counseling/therapy for folks navigating a variety of challenges including:
Loneliness and disconnection
Communication challenges and increased conflict
Lack of emotional intimacy
Intimacy challenges
Big life transitions
I like to take a holistic and pragmatic approach to our work together, showing up authentically and bringing a sense of levity and humor. I'm a relational therapist at the core and believe in the power of our therapeutic relationship to shape growth and change. I hold a strengths-based lens so we can recognize what's already working, but I'm not afraid to challenge you a bit! I aim to create a warm, open space for you both to engage in deep, honest exploration. While we'll do heavy and difficult work, we also get to find connection and some ease in the midst of it all, too.
I incorporate strategies from a variety of modalities and theories as they suit your relationship, your goals, and your styles. I draw fundamentally from the Gottman methodology and often from parts-based modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and from Narrative Therapy. I also utilize strategies from Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
