Collaborative Couple Therapy

We as individuals form our unique worldviews by the attachment styles we develop with our parents and by the dynamics of our family relationships, friendships, and romantic partnerships throughout our lives. I work collaboratively in partnership with you, honoring your worldview, to recognize what’s going well in your relationship dynamic, explore where and how you and your relationships can grow, and assisting you in deepening connection with your loved ones.

My approach is designed to foster a supportive and cooperative environment where both partners are actively involved in the healing process. Together, we work to understand and address the unique challenges in your relationship, emphasizing open communication, mutual respect, and shared goals. By combining evidence-based methods like Gottman Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples navigate conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen bonds.

n addition to using the Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy model, we also draw from mindfulness and somatic approaches, bringing awareness to what you are experiencing in the present moment. At times we all struggle to understand what it is we are truly feeling. Sitting with emotions, such as sadness, grief and regret, rather than trying to push it all away can give rise to unexpected and wonderful relief. It is said that what we resist persists, but when we’re able to feel through something, we

In addition to some well-honed, validated, finely tuned couple-specific modalities, I bring a heavily collaborative perspective to all of my work. Perhaps even more so when there are partners (or others) who feel adversarial -- my goal is to work within each person's strengths and desired outcomes.

Problems tend to form through miscommunication. The collaborative approach helps everyone feel heard and understood. As a result, communication begins to improve, and problems begin to dissolve.

Our couples counselors work with you and your partner to build healthy communication skills, enhance intimacy and identify shared values.

Through an active role, I tackle ways of communication between partners and begin to deconstructed the language and meaning behind every interaction. From a simple argument, to better understanding what and why they said what they said.

Collaborative Therapy is an approach I take with individuals and couples that emphasizes equal partnership between therapist and client. It involves actively involving the client in the therapeutic process, encouraging open communication, and valuing the client’s insights and lived experiences. By working together as a team, I’ll empower you to take an active role in your healing.

Much of the work I do in therapy is getting to know each client, what they are bringing into the therapy space, and what they are wanting, hoping for, or needing from the therapeutic relationship. I seek for therapy to feel real and authentic, and that often involves laughter as well as tears. I am that therapist that will laugh at your jokes (yes I know it's a coping mechanism) because I love to laugh, but will also encourage you to lean into tender emotions every once in a while.

I integrate Collaborative Therapy to ensure that everyone has a voice in the process. This approach creates a space where the work feels truly collaborative, empowering both you and your partner to take part in creating meaningful change together.

CCT is designed for couples who may be struggling with patterns of conflict in their relationship. The focus of CCT, then, is on helping partners work together in a collaborative way to solve problems and improve their relationship in the process. CCT therapists see a fight between partners as an opportunity for a conversation.

Marital therapy identifies the marriage as the patient and that both parties are there to work on improving the marriage in whatever ways are needed. They collaborate to improve communication and identify problematic issues. Have also worked on healing past wounds so that they can proceed toward a more fulfilling relationship.
