Couples Therapy: Being coupled is one of the most choices we can make in our modern disconnected world. The experience can bring incredible love and immense healing. It is also one of the most challenging paths one can choose because in intimacy, all of our most unattractive and dysfunctional patterns emerge! Couple-hood can be a sacred experience in that in can give us an opportunity unlike any other relationship to truly "see" ourselves and experience healing in the deepest way. I am trained in a couples modality called PACT- Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy AND I owe my deepest "training" to my own partnership.

When we feel heard, seen, and understood, healing and growth are possible. I am here to create a safe space for you, or you and your partner, to explore and work with the struggles that are leading you to seek therapy. Most of us enter into partnership with the best intentions; we want to feel mutually satisfied, secure and supported in our relationship. After some time, old patterns take hold and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, confused, or insecure in relationship. Therapy can help you get unstuck by offering an experience of being supported in ways that are uniquely tailored to help the growth of you and your partner.

Too many marriages are being destroyed by money problems and it’s leaving couples feeling disconnected, lonely, and frustrated. I know how challenging it can be to have productive conversations with your spouse about money - especially without it ending in a fight. BUT, I believe that money issues are solvable. I also understand that the issues are often about more than just money and that they take work to get to the root of.

Psychobiological Approach Couple Therapy

How does the psychobiological approach to couples therapy work?

The psychobiological approach to couples therapy combines research in three domains—attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, and arousal regulation—to address relationship challenges. Couples learn about their underlying emotional and physiological responses to different situations so as to identify these responses and then shift them with the help of practice exercises in sessions.

Is the psychobiological approach to couples therapy evidence-based?

While some research has been conducted by its creator, there is little peer-reviewed research to support the efficacy of the psychobiological approach to couples therapy. It’s not as evidence-based as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

How long does the psychobiological approach to couples therapy last?

The psychobiological approach to couples therapy is a relatively short-term therapy, typically less than 12 sessions. However, individual sessions can be much longer. A typical couples therapy session lasts 45 minutes, while these sessions often last for two to three hours, and sometimes three to six hours. Some couples may opt to attend two or three sessions per week.

What are the limitations of the psychobiological approach to couples therapy?

A limitation of the psychobiological approach to couples therapy is that the evidence is much more limited than it is for other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Additionally, the psychobiological approach to couples therapy only applies to couples in relationships, so keep in mind that it cannot treat mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
