Couples Concerns

Are you in need of individual support as you and your partner attend couples work? I can help you make sense of your relationship and meet your partner with care and curiosity while you navigate the process of couples counseling. You may be fighting over parenting, money, betrayal, or sex; but deep down those arguments are all about your emotional connection to your partner. Are you there for me?  Will you value me and stay close?  Will you respond to me? Can I trust you?  Working together, I can help you renew your relationship so that you can count on each other in times of difficulty, problem-solve without conflict, and be lovers... again.  

You may have tried therapy before, but all the skills you were encouraged to use seem to be forgotten in those heated moments of anger and disappointment. It may be time to try something different.  I use the research-based treatment approach of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is an efficient, comprehensive method of counseling that focuses on the core reasons for anger, blame, withdraw, and defensiveness that couples in conflict experience.

I am honored to help you:

  • Repair infidelity from emotional or physical affairs

  • Understand and resolve repeated conflict

  • Bridge the gap of emotional distance

  • Increase trust

Adult Family Issues

Family members should be there for each other to offer support and understanding in a relationship where all feel safe enough to share thoughts and feelings openly. When a family is in conflict, stress, anger, resentment, disconnection, and unmet needs may be the result.  This negative cycle can impact each family member’s mental and physical health, relationships, and even his or her ability to focus in other areas of life.

Making sense of your family dynamics in a non-pathologizing way, we can address growing tension and stress in relationship before it develops into more serious resentment and disconnection.

Together, we will explore the issues and truly understand the underlying emotions that fuel the negative interactions between family members. Whether the tension is with in-laws, adult siblings, or between adult child and parent, together we can restore understanding and a close, connected relationship.
