Feeling safe and fully alive in partnership is a goal worth striving for.

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, and decrease criticism and blame.

Learn to reach for connection sooner and make it last longer.

Hear and understand your partner, without letting defensiveness get the best of you.

Address relational damage and heal from betrayal.

Slow down fights before they explode.

Create balance between closeness and independence.

Negotiate boundaries and compromises.

Surf the waves of parenting, aging, and life transitions.

Discover renewed energy and playfulness.

Engage with issues in your sex life with deeper honesty and care.

Hold both of your truths with compassion, and rediscover what it’s like to be a team.

Find support for deciding to continue or end your relationship.

The above list reflects some of what clients regularly achieve in therapy, but does not entail a guarantee of outcome.
