Therapy  Goals

​

I aim to help couples identify and address areas that need improvement, highlight their strengths, uncover the root of, understand, manage, and resolve conflict while working to process and repair past hurt and trauma. Relationship work includes helping one another foster a deeper understanding of self and their partner. 

 

Through our work together, I will teach you communication skills, how to navigate conflict, repair and resolve arguments. You will also become more aware of your reactions, communication style, and attachment, as well as your partner's. I will help you notice patterns, cycles, and dynamics and through effort, you will break the cycles that are no longer working.

The goal is to feel safe in love. The path there includes healing, feeling, understanding, and processing your emotions, being transparent and gentle with one another, and learning to receive and be received while building a conscious partnership.

​

I Help Couples Who Might Be Experiencing the Following:​​

​

• high conflict couples

• life transitions (e.g., grief, jobs, moving, marriage)

• anxious-avoidant dance 

• fertility, family planning, perinatal, pregnancy, postpartum

• adjusting to parenthood

• open relationships 

• pre-marital couples' counseling (i.e., building a strong foundation before deepening the commitment)

• betrayal

• trauma  

• communication issues & conflict management 

• barriers to intimacy (sexual, emotional, physical) 

• loss of connection

It is important to note that relationships are extremely nuanced and ever-evolving. Many of these issues can co-occur or occur at different times throughout your relationship. Thus, my work with couples is not limited to these areas.
