Usually, a person is compelled to seek-out a therapist because of desperation: Desperation to extricate her/himself from depression, anxiety and or behaviors that contribute to conflict, or loneliness. Sometimes a person wants to be more successful in relationships or at work, A couple seeks-out a therapist because their frequent bickering has led to frustration, isolation and loneliness, and they don't know how get out of it. You may feel that your partner no longer values you. You need to be heard, valued and supported-to regain the closeness and understanding you once had.
Let's talk about couple therapy: I am a relationship person. I am kind, and you will feel safe with me. We will identify the interactional patterns that lead to frustration, anger and isolation. In doing so, we will identify ways to improve communication, and most importantly, to increase your capacity to be understood, and understand your partner.
I grew-up in a family where there wasn't much empathy or respectful communication. There was a lot of aggression and chaos. This can cause a lot of damage. So-this is why, in addition to having a keen mind, empathy and the passion to roll-up my sleeves with you, I am willing to fight with you, and for your greater confidence, competence and connection.
