All relationships have their fault lines. In our work, we will explore the fundamental reasons for the relationship difficulties that you are experiencing, with the aim of bringing everyone's desire into play.
I assist clients in achieving their relational goals. Together, we enrich the narratives they may have overlooked, emphasizing their shared values, mutual goals, and what got them together in the first place. We also co-explore the demands on their relationship and its needs should it continue to survive and thrive. This process enhances trust, communication, and cultivates a fulfilling relationship.
I work on both ends of the relationship funnel - those going in , those stuck in the middle and those going out. Relationship dynamics are complicated but building the connection is easy. Through building communication skills and listening techniques, it is possible to see things clearly. I use CBT, CCT and EFT to effectively cut through emotional clutter to get you back on track.
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified IMAGO Relationship Therapist, MFT, and EMDR
In addition to being a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist , I became certified in Imago Relationship Therapy providing couples with the tools and skills required to actually turn conflicts into loving connections.
I am trained in a variety of marital therapy models and utilize tools from each modality where appropriate. My approach to marital therapy is to help the couple identify barriers to intimacy and connection and to develop skills for navigating marital conflict. All couples confront conflict and challenges within the relationship. Successful couples are able to repair disruptions in their connection and to learn how to communicate in healthy and productive ways.
At A Couples Place we use the Gottman Method. Gottman Method* Couples Therapy is based on Dr. John Gottman’s research that began in the 1970’s and continues to this day. The research has focused on what makes marriages or committed relationships succeed or fail. From this research, Drs. John and Julie Gottman have created a method of therapy and counseling that emphasizes a grounded and realistic approach to improving couple relationships. This method is designed to help teach specific tools and skills to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship. To help you productively manage conflicts, you will be given methods to manage resolvable problems and dialogue about gridlocked (or perpetual) issues. We will also work together to help you appreciate your relationship's strengths and to gently navigate through its vulnerabilities.
