I help couples navigate toward a secure bond and shared future. It might feel scary to have open conversations with those you love most (romantic partners or family members). A stressful life transition or grief could be creating distance, when closeness and support are needed. Unhelpful communication patterns or harmful coping strategies may be getting in the way.
If your relationship is suffering or stuck, you don't have to struggle with it alone. You can grow the acceptance and authenticity to feed a well-lived life. I bring an encouraging presence, relational style, and humor that enliven the therapeutic experience.
My training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy helps partners understand and communicate about conflict from an attachment perspective. I use Motivational Interviewing and Harm Reduction strategies to individualize recovery from drugs/alcohol. With deep experience in grief, I can support through the loss of a loved one, job, ability, home, identity, etc.
I am currently welcoming couples, family dyads (e.g., parent-teen or parent-adult child), or other relationship configurations. So if you and someone you love are thinking, feeling, or acting in ways that are keeping you from the life you desire—or that seem unspeakable to share with others—I invite you to reach out and talk to me.
