Do you ever wonder, “How did we get here again?!”
If you’re struggling in your relationship, I get it.
It’s so exhausting to get stuck in that argument where you’re just going around and around and no one feels heard. Couples often come to therapy feeling tired of the same fight that they keep having and longing for the connection they once had. What if conflict could be a way to understand each other instead of something that drove you apart?
Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship, and couple’s therapy is about learning tools to express yourself skillfully and really listen to one another. I’ll teach you how to hear the deeper meaning under the surface of the conflict and get back to a place of connection sooner. Couples usually leave therapy feeling more capable of having tough conversations with respect for each other, which transforms conflicts into opportunities for growth. The result is not just improved communication but also a stronger, more resilient relationship.
My couple’s therapy training is from The Gottman Institute, which is the premier Couple’s Research Institute in the world. Their body of work is based on 40 years of research about what makes relationships happy; and yes, it really works! I’ve been seeing clients for 8+ years, specializing in working with couples, relationship and attachment issues, and LGBTQ+ populations. My therapy style is warm and direct - I want you to learn new skills so that you don’t need couple’s therapy forever. I don’t sit back and watch you have the same old argument in session; we’ll get to work learning new skills in the moment.
Let’s get you on the same team again so you can enjoy the good times and work together during the hard times.
