Couples Counseling

I work with all sorts of couples who are looking for a safe place to explore struggles with infidelity, loneliness, communication, etc. In early 2023, I began a pursuit to become a Certified Sex Therapist. At this stage in the game, I'm a Certified Sex-Informed Couples Therapist. So yes, we can also talk about sex. I utilize skills and techniques from the Gottman Method for working with Couples. I've completed Levels 1 & 2 Gottman Method training.

My approach in working with couples is to have each person learn about their own inner dynamics. I talk about turning the "microscope on yourself" to learn what is really driving you so that you can communicate your needs more clearly. You cannot communicate clearly what you aren't clear on within yourself. Most folks are focused on changing the other person, yet your partners is a mirror to see your own dynamics. this is powerful & courageous work.

My training and supervision as a licensed marriage and family therapist is in couple's therapy and family systems theory. I am trained in a wide array of family systems and couple's therapy theory, and am flexible integrating a variety of approaches to best help my couples and families by meeting them where they are to serve their specific needs. This is particularly helpful for my clients as opposed to other more rigid approaches which only draw on one or two theories.

Couples counseling is my passion, my training, and the core of my practice. I am trained in both Gottman and Schnarch theory, with specialty training in sex therapy and financial (personal and family business) counseling.

Relationships can be difficult and present unexpected difficulties due to getting married, having children, infidelity, sexual concerns, external stressors or recurring conflicts. Couples experiencing conflict or challenges from communication can benefit from a working with a therapist who can help you understand one another and your relationship better and learn to constructively communicate and cooperate as a couple.

I am a trained couples and family therapist who specializes in sex therapy. I am Gottman level 1 and 2 certified.

Relationships are an engaging, healing, and oftentimes sacred space between two (or more) individuals. As your therapist, I want to help you co-create a space that honors each of your individual needs and wants through communication, connection, and compromise.

As a licensed Marriage Family therapist, I received masters level training in couples counseling. I also worked at several domestic violence shelters and facilitated batterer's intervention programs, where I taught about "healthy relationships" and how to have a relationship based in respect. Since that time, I have studied the Gottman method. I am most interested in helping couples use mindfulness and positive communication strategies to build a better relationship.

I employ the Gottman Method to support couples with increasing positive interactions, improving communication, and utilizing validation to support each partner's emotional needs.

Developing healthy communication, quality time and understanding love languages are cornerstones of couple's therapy. We work together to understand one another's communication styles and to increase time needed to create an emotional bond with our partner.

I am trained in PACT couples therapy. PACT is a Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy. This approach is collaborative, experiential, and based on attachment therapy. We will work to uncover how you and your partner understand relationships based on your formative relationships, those of your parents. Together we will strive to create security, stability, and safety between you and your partner so that you can have a secure attachment. I work with traditional and non-traditional couples.

In my graduate program in couples and family therapy, we were trained in Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, the Gottman method, and Imago therapy. I've received post-graduate training in Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS Level One) and Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFS Level Two).

My work with couples is informed by the work of Esther Perel and by the concepts and practices of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I am happy to treat couples in most any area. I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I mostly focus on Systemic Theories and Attachement in my Couples sessions.

I have worked with couples for 18 years. I obtained my Master's Degree in Marital, Couple, & Family Therapy in 2005.

I specialize in working with all couples. I have a direct, non-partial approach. Using research based methods I have had great success in mending relationships.

Couples counseling is necessary when our anguish and suffering is less about ourselves, but stemming from conflict in our relationships. There are some problems that we cannot solve on our own, but need to work through together with our partners.

Couples counseling is my jam. I like seeing the whole relationship in the room whether your relationship is just beginning or perhaps ending -- talking together is the style that I see working best. I think, and research shows, that when more people are in the room, the conversations are more productive. For non-monogamous or poly couples including others or a wider polycule in therapy is an effective way to create positive change.
