Couples Therapy
Relationships are powerful; they have the unique capacity to heal or hurt us. In couples therapy, I focus on harnessing this power to foster healing and deeper connections between partners.
Understanding the Dance of Relationships
My approach to couples therapy is rooted in attachment theory. I help couples identify their relational "dance" – the patterns and dynamics inherited from past relationships that continue to influence their current interactions. Understanding these patterns is crucial for breaking cycles that exacerbate wounds and for beginning the healing process.
Tools and Strategies for a Stronger Bond
During our sessions, couples gain practical tools and strategies to improve communication, navigate conflicts, and deescalate tensions. I provide time-tested methods to help you and your partner deepen your connection, including:
Active Listening: Enhancing understanding between partners by encouraging attentive and empathetic listening.
Communication Tools: Techniques that foster open and honest dialogue, reducing misunderstandings and resentments.
Conflict Navigation: Strategies to manage and resolve disputes constructively, without causing further harm.
Tailored Support for Every Couple
Whether you are seeking to resolve specific issues like infidelity or looking to enrich your relationship, therapy is tailored to meet your unique needs. From newlyweds to couples who have spent decades together, I offer guidance that respects the individuality of each partner and the uniqueness of every relationship.
Healing Together
Couples therapy is a journey towards understanding, acceptance, and renewed intimacy. By learning to communicate more effectively and by addressing the underlying issues that surface in your interactions, you and your partner can achieve a healthier, more satisfying relationship.
