Couple Therapy

“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”

- Ursula K. Le Guin


Couple Therapy

 

It often takes a lot to embark on couple therapy. It can feel exposing and scary to share our couple relationship - where we show our most vulnerable and emotionally heated selves - with another. 

I approach couple therapy as a collaborative partner who is helping you to understand how and why you get stuck in long-term dynamics, sometimes deadlocked with the person you love and uncertain how to reconnect with each other. I see it as my job to understand the perspective of each partner, to uncover how everything that you are doing in your relationship makes sense, and to help the two of you to increase safety and connection in the relationship so that you can feel more secure, more satisfied, and more emotionally alive with each other. 

Using an Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy approach, I will help you to identify the negative patterns and cycles keeping you disconnected and in conflict. You will learn how to cultivate greater understanding about the underlying concerns and fears that maintain these negative patterns. We then work to create new patterns which deepen your intimate connection with each other.

I welcome couples of all sexual orientations and gender identities in my practice.


“We are never so vulnerable as when we love.”

- Sigmund Freud
