Are you and your partner having the same fight over and over again? Does it feel like you’re speaking different languages? Do you find that things escalate from 0 to 60 within seconds? You have thought about getting help before, but then life gets in the way. However, you’ve both reached a point where you know you can’t go on like this. Something has to change. Research shows partners wait an average of 2.5 years before seeking help in their relationship. Let’s stop waiting and start working on a new way of relating with each other. When I work with couples, I don’t look for who’s right and who’s wrong.
I look at the cycle playing out between the two of you - the dance- that gets you caught in the same tired fight over and over again. By changing the steps of the dance, we can change everything. In working with couples, I use a blend of evidence-based approaches ranging from EFT, RLT and the Gottman Method. I offer practical tools to effect real change.
Let's disrupt this negative cycle and help you and your partner find each other again. A relationship with more joy, more connection and more closeness is waiting for you. Let's find it together.

While my approach is eclectic, I like to start from a psychodynamic and attachment-based lens, so we will explore the way early childhood relationships with caregivers influence your present-day interactions and worldview.
