I am so honored to work alongside partners struggling to understand themselves, one another and how they landed in a relationship with the other. It's no accident!
Sometimes couples arrive and need just a small shift in communication and renewed attention to their emotional connection and they are back on track. For others, the distance has grown over months or even years, and they need support finding their way back to one another.
I SEE BOTH SAME SEX AND HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES — DATING, LIVING TOGETHER, MARRIED OR ON THE BRINK OF A BREAK UP.
Some couples come to therapy feeling torn about their relationship, adjusting to the arrival of a new baby, or trying to heal from a recent or past betrayal. Others are navigating the demands of work-life balance, caring for aging or ill parents, or learning to blend families. Whatever brings them in, most couples are seeking a space to better understand themselves and each other — a place where they can experiment, feel vulnerable, empowered, playful, and connected. And, hopefully, share a few laughs along the way.
I help couples understand the dynamics that contribute to their pain, loneliness, disconnection, and distance — and guide them toward breaking those patterns so they can feel secure and connected with one another.
