Couples

I am a trained Emotionally-Focused Couple Therapist, and use this approach more than others in helping couples find their way out of destructive negative cycles and to build safety and closeness. EFT is a process-oriented therapy, which means that what you feel in session with your partner will help us access and share your experience with each other. You can watch a video explaining and showing how EFT works.

I also have training in Imago Relational Therapy, which, like EFT, helps couples have more vulnerable and emotionally-clear conversations.

In addition to EFT and Imago, I will occasionally integrate EMDR with either or both clients to help process trauma that is blocking closeness in the relationship.

I welcome couples practicing various forms of ENM, polyamory, and kink.

While couple therapy is often intended to strengthen the bond, I also welcome couples who wish to separate in an intentional and caring way.

When we trade passion for stability, are we not merely swapping one fantasy for another?
