Collaborative Couple Therapy

In addition to using the Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy model, I also draw from mindfulness and somatic approaches, bringing awareness to what you are experiencing in the present moment. At times we all struggle to understand what it is we are truly feeling. Sitting with emotions, such as sadness, grief and regret, rather than trying to push it all away can give rise to unexpected and wonderful relief. It is said that what we resist persists, but when we’re able to feel through something, we

We as individuals form our unique worldviews by the attachment styles we develop with our parents and by the dynamics of our family relationships, friendships, and romantic partnerships throughout our lives. I work collaboratively in partnership with you, honoring your worldview, to recognize what’s going well in your relationship dynamic, explore where and how you and your relationships can grow, and assisting you in deepening connection with your loved ones.

My approach is designed to foster a supportive and cooperative environment where both partners are actively involved in the healing process. Together, we work to understand and address the unique challenges in your relationship, emphasizing open communication, mutual respect, and shared goals. By combining evidence-based methods like Gottman Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples navigate conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen bonds.

In addition to some well-honed, validated, finely tuned couple-specific modalities, I bring a heavily collaborative perspective to all of my work. Perhaps even more so when there are partners (or others) who feel adversarial -- my goal is to work within each person's strengths and desired outcomes.

Problems tend to form through miscommunication. The collaborative approach helps everyone feel heard and understood. As a result, communication begins to improve, and problems begin to dissolve.

Our couples counselors work with you and your partner to build healthy communication skills, enhance intimacy and identify shared values.

I use a collaborative approach to couple therapy, focusing on improving communication, fostering mutual understanding, and addressing relational conflicts. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where both partners feel heard and respected, working together to build stronger emotional connections and navigate challenges in their relationship with compassion and shared decision-making.

I have expertise in Collaborative Couple Therapy, an approach that emphasizes collaboration and cooperation between partners in resolving relationship issues.

Relationship challenges often emerge as other areas of our life are strained. This often results from a major life shift. It could be a job loss or change, an injury and difficult recovery or readjustment, the loss of a family member, or moving to a new city—any major life hurdles that you are taking on together can pose new challenges to a relationship. We will work on understanding where each of you is coming from, and the ways that may be unique.

I routinely saw couples during my postdoctoral training in sex therapy, and continue to work with couples wishing to enhance intimacy and connection inside and outside of the bedroom. Some common topics I work with couples on include repair from boundary violations (eg, infidelity), setting new boundaries, navigating conflict, developing empathy for one another, and recognizing when old/harmful relational patterns are surfacing in present relationships.
