Couples and Relationship Counseling

Romantic relationships, at their best, can be deeply satisfying, rich and fulfilling experiences. When conflict arises, they can also be a source of hurt, sadness, frustration, and despair. I provide relationship counseling, to get through the difficult times and come out stronger.

I take an interpersonal approach, which means I work to identify and improve communication patterns and styles of relating to one another. I have completed Level 1 and Level 2 of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and utilize this approach to inform my treatment planning and interventions. Additionally, I incorporate elements of Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I strive to create a safe space for you to explore, learn, and grow together. 

Relationship counseling may take the form of, but is not limited to:

• pre-marital counseling

• marriage counseling

• couples counseling

• multiple partners counseling for those in open, non-monogamous, and polyamorous relationships

Common topics may include:

• Navigating life transitions together

• Diminished intimacy

• Cultural differences & power dynamics (gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, income, ability, etc.)

• Concerns related to sex

• Infidelity and broken trust

• Deciding to and moving forward with "opening up" a relationship
