Couples Therapy

 

“I work with couples to stop patterns
threatening their connection and to create new emotional experiences that redefine the relationship as a source of security and comfort.”

Over the years, I have enjoyed seeing hundreds of couples become closer, and consider it a great privilege to assist them in this process. My goal in providing Couples Therapy is that my clients develop a clear sense of why they get into troubles, tools for getting beyond them, and positive experiences in therapy so that they are confident they can ultimately go forward without my help.

I help couples to:

  • Resolve relationship crises
  • Improve communication
  • Increase intimacy and security
  • Upgrade their sexual relationship
  • End chronic patterns of arguing or withdraw
  • Embrace diversity as a multicultural or LGBT couple
  • Survive infidelity
  • Move positively through life-transitions, such as parenting, illness or retirement
  • Find the right relationship with in-laws
  • “Fine tune” a good relationship to make it better.
  • Have more fun!
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

My couples therapy work is guided by years of specialty training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) a brief evidence based technique with excellent outcome research. Please click here for more on EFT.  I am certified as an EFT Therapist and Supervisor, meaning in addition to extensive training and supervision in the technique, I have submitted videos of my work to the International Center for Excellence in EFT (ICEEFT), for validation that my work conforms to their rigorous standards.

In addition I have studied Dr. John Gottman’s, “The Einstein of Love,” model of couples therapy, trained with Dr. Dan Wile, internationally recognized author and teacher of Collaborative Couples Therapy, and I spent several years teaching a Couple’s Communication class.

Please contact me to schedule an appointment or for a free telephone or video consultation with one or the both of you to see if my approach might be a good fit for you.
