Love is what most of us have been longing for since we were young.

But once we get into an intimate relationship, things often become trickier than we imagined. 

Being in a relationship can, and often is, simultaneously the happiest time in our lives and the most difficult. Sometimes couples need help talking, re-building trust, re-kindling a spark, or healing ruptures in their bond.

My couples' work is greatly influenced by Emotionally Focused Therapy (this is the founder of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy website), which rebuilds healthy and secure attachment between partners. Through couples therapy, we can slow down, take a closer look at your dynamic, find where the miscommunications arise, experiment with new skills, learn how to hear each other, heal old wounds that create distance and resentment, build safe intimacy, and develop a healthier and happier way to be together.  

Couples therapy is often the most vulnerable of therapies because it can be difficult to expose our most intimate dynamics in front of another person. For this reason, however, couples therapy can also be the most rewarding of therapies. We often struggle in intimate relationships because they take us back to our childhood memories of attachment and dependency. Couples therapy gives us an opportunity to return and "correct" childhood attachment patterns through work with our current partner. It has the potential to change how you express and receive love.
