How Can Relationship Therapy Help Me?
Wherever you are in your relationship, I am happy to meet you there. The idea of going to couples therapy can be intimidating for many people. It is my hope that I can make the experience safe, approachable, (and perhaps fun?!) for both you and your partner.
My job is not to find who is to blame in your relationship, but to help you find where you are getting stuck. I want to help you find more effective ways to communicate and to help you to reconnect. Therapy can help you see that you both have a role, not only in painful patterns of disconnection, but also in the joys of reconnection and repair.
You do not need to be in a place of despair or desperation to benefit from Couples Therapy. Research has shown that many couples wait an average of seven years before seeking help for their relationship, after lots of damage has already been done. I will meet you wherever you are in your relationship. I happily work with all kinds of committed partners, whether you are married or not.
I have received extensive and advanced training in couples therapy, primarily in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. At the beginning of therapy, we will work together on creating a detailed assessment to determine your specific needs and I will tailor my services specifically to you. I also value a non-judgmental, person-centered approach to therapy. I do not wish to tell you how to live, but to help you figure out how to live the life you want to live.
