Couples Counseling
Do you, at times, feel disconnected in your relationship?
Do you find it difficult to let your partner in when you feel upset or hurt?
Maybe those early, flirty days feel like a lifetime ago and you wish to feel that spark again.
Couples therapy can help partners connect and reconnect.
I work with committed couples who feel that their relationship is strong and stable overall, but find themselves getting stuck in the same patterns during difficult moments. Sometimes that can look like an argument that escalates quickly and is blown out of proportion. Maybe you find yourself yelling or withdrawing and may not even know or remember what you were arguing about in the first place. Maybe you want to brush over the argument while your partner wants some form of resolution or closure.
My work with couples focuses on recognizing patterns of communication within your interactions. I focus on helping each partner identify and express their own emotions and needs to their partner, as well as helping each partner respond in a validating and loving way.
I also share with my couple’s concrete communication skills for more effective and team-oriented communication. Turning towards your partner rather than away can be challenging, but it can also greatly improve connection and trust.
My work is informed by Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy, as I guide you towards more understanding and positive interactions with one another.
