Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy offers a supportive environment where partners can strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and work through challenges together.

 When I work with a couple my focus is on the relationship. As relationship expert Terry Real has pointed out, all relationships go through a cycle of repair, disrepair and repair.   Normalizing this can be very reassuring and provides hope that what seems like an impasse is just a bump in the road.  My work centers on identifying triggers based on the dynamics of the couple as well as on each person's psychosocial history.   This combined approach recognizes that lasting change requires both understanding the “why” behind our reactions and developing practical skills to create new patterns of relating to each other.

Rather than just talking about problems, we work with what’s happening between you in real-time, using both neurobiological awareness and practical skill building.
