Couple's Counseling
Couples are often doing the best they can in the face of external stress, internal conflict, and/or years of compromised communication. My approach to cultivating a healthy therapeutic atmosphere, is relational, compassionate, inclusive, safe and affirming. We co-create treatment pathways to help strengthen your relationship, while holding dear your individual experiences. After all, that is where we will find your nervous system and all of your lived experience. I believe this matters in a relationship, particularly relationships of the emotional/attachment variety. Again, people are typically trying to have their needs met. Resilience and buoyancy will be helpful in exploring issues related to intimacy, communication, conflict, and sources of frustration. We will explore complex relational styles to help pave the way for new skills, greater healing, and deeper connections.
