Our automatic responses to our partners may be helping or hurting us (or both!) but our responses are there for a reason. Couples therapy works to understand these automatic responses and take better control of the process, freeing us from a stance of defensiveness.

Every couple is unique and different from any I have seen before. I reject the "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy and will support you and your partner to determine, and work towards, the relationship in which you want to be.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to change destructive patterns, and move towards positive communication, and emotional connectivity.

In our work together, you as a couple can achieve an increased sense of connectedness, love, and understanding within your relationship. We will collaborate to help you develop the skills necessary for a satisfying, communicative, and emotionally close relationship.
