Difficulty maintaining a relationship Attachment Family Conflict Loss of sexual desire

The majority of my practice is couples work. I am unique, in that I tell my clients that the RELATIONSHIP is not my client- the humans in the room are. My goal is for you each to be happy and healthy. If you can do that together? let's do it. If you can't? Then the primary goal should be creating a path forward towards health and happiness for you both, even if that means that the relationship evolves or ends.

I embrace working with couples of all sexual orientations and relationship structures. I firmly value and affirm the unique differences that exist within relationships. I am affirming of kink, consensual non-monogamy, polyamorous, neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+ relationships.

I help couples to practice honest and respectful ways of communicating that result in feelings of togetherness, deep friendship, trust, and passion. Together I help partners to facilitate connection and authentic communication, resolve gridlocked issues, decrease negative conflict, and deepen their emotional and sexual intimacy. I have taken advanced Gottman training and I am listed on their website.

Relationship issues are common throughout the lifespan. The key to success in overcoming obstacles within a relationship is approaching communication in a relaxed body. This is simple to say but in practice takes time to understand and form healthy habits around. Once both members of the relationship are no longer triggering one another, effective communication style identification and skill-building can take place. Our therapists are equipped and ready to help you succeed in your relationship.

I have worked with mixed-agenda couples in which one person is "all in" but unsure how to save the relationship while the other is "one foot out" and giving one last chance before they walk away. I've also worked with couples to expand their communication for improved connection and stronger sense of belonging in the relationship. Additionally, I helped former partners plan for and navigate the uncoupling process while co-parenting in their toddler's best interests.

I am fully trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I can help you and your partner go beyond simply learning new communication skills. In EFT sessions, you will each get the chance to achieve a deeper understanding of the emotions that fuel your arguments and miscommunications. For example, your repetitive arguments about the chores are (probably) actually about not feeling respected, supported, and appreciated by your partner.

Chosen relationships are at the very heart of what makes life meaningful and can be a source of boundless joy. It is only natural for fights to break out, for old wounds to throb, and for resentment to build. I will commit myself to helping everyone involved operate in accordance with their values and truest feelings; with their highest Self. From that place of authenticity and strength, I believe that what can go right between you, will.

We will work together to improve communication and set goals.

I am a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and use the framework to help couples in all stages of relationships to connect with one another, reduce conflict, and learn valuable skills.

Humans are social creatures and positive relationships are important for well being. How we navigate dynamics with others can be the difference between a happy, fulfilling life, or one that isn't. Maintaining personal boundaries, integrity, and staying true to what brings joy and meaning while relating to partners, lovers, friends, co-workers, and family can be tricky at times. I am a solution focused clinician that is competent, compassionate, and non judgmental.

When a relationship we treasure is in trouble, it is never too soon to seek support. Through our work together in therapy, I will help you and your partner(s) move into new and radical moments of engagement, all the while, building trust, intimacy and security in yourselves and each other. I welcome relationship structures of all kinds.

Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop every night? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner? All things can be improved, changed and bettered, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, and get what you want out of your relationship.

I work with couples that are dating, engaged, or married for a little while or for many years. Issues of communication, trust, lack of intimacy are what couples usually bring to the session. I position myself as the "relationship therapist". As a doctor, I'll work in making your relationship better. For that, I'll use many different skills acquired from different types of therapy: talk therapy, CBT, ACT, EFT, Mindfulness, Gottman, etc.

Have you lost the spark in your relationship? Do you feel your partner does not "see" you? Are you hoping for a closer emotional connection? I will work with you to bring hopefulness, emotional bond, healthy communication, and spark back into your life. We will work together to develop a plan to build your strongest relationship. Family counseling may include 2 or more family members to help heal relationships, open lines of communication, and learn new coping strategies.

I have a passion for helping all couples improve their relationships and have training in 2 of the leading approaches for couple’s therapy: Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. While EFT helps couples establish a secure attachment by learning how to identify and communicate underlying emotions, Gottman Therapy provides structure and skills for enhancing a couple’s friendship/connection, improving communication/conflict, and creating shared meaning/life goals.

My experience includes working with couples needing to heal from infidelity, improving communication, increasing emotional connection, managing conflict, and resolving sexual issues.
