All of you is welcome here.
Couples and individual psychotherapy for real relationships.
Feeling safe and fully alive in partnership is a goal worth striving for.
But how?
There’s no relationship that doesn’t entail struggle, but some struggles take us to the brink. I offer Emotionally Focused Therapy with a trauma-informed, somatic, and relational-psychodynamic lens to help couples and individuals make sense out of their struggles and navigate their way towards their deepest yearnings.
Improve communication without resorting to pointing fingers.
Learn to reach for repair sooner and make it last longer.
Hear & empathize with your partner without letting defensiveness get the best of you.
Address damage that you wish your partner would get over already.
Create balance between closeness and spaciousness.
Negotiate boundaries and compromises.
Discover renewed energy and playfulness.
Engage with issues in your sex life in a way that brings you closer together.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
