Every individual brings their unique history, modeling provided by adults while growing up, experiences, expectations, hopes, and dreams into a relationship. From this complex mix, a relationship prototype is formed. As couples face challenges, build shared history, and perhaps welcome new family members, those initial desires and longings can sometimes be forgotten. This can result in communication shut down, emotional withdrawal, and increasing dissatisfaction on many levels, including sexually, in what was once a loving, caring, connected bond. Getting back what seems to be lost is where I come in.
Because of the uniqueness of each individual/couple, I use a variety of modalities including Internal Family Systems, polyvagal theory, Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, somatic work, and others. Education & exercises designed to build connection, bonding, & intimacy are also incorporated into our work together. My focus is client centered.
I have created a comfortable, safe, and confidential space in which vulnerability can be expressed, trust built, and personal growth can occur, If this sounds like a good fit for you, I look forward to hearing from you!
