Couples join together bringing with them the learned patterns of their family of origin (how to handle finances, discipline children, organize activities, etc). So the first hurdle couples face is deciding which rules should be used in the new partnership. In addition, each member of the couple brings with them childhood wounds that may have occurred from their families, at school, at church or in society in general. If we learn to communicate in meaningful ways with our partners we can actually help each other heal these wounds and in so doing, experience the deeply fulfilling relationships we first sought to have with the person we’ve chosen to spend our time with.

I help partners see how each of their behaviors impact and influence their partner's reactions and how the combination of these reactions lead to self-perpetuating cycles that continue to hurt the relationship. Together we work on skills to decrease blame and defensiveness, increase understanding and responsiveness, and create healing. Premarital counseling also available, and includes important research-based information and insight regarding how reasons for marrying may have implications for the success of the union.

Every relationship has its own nervous system; it's a living story between two people. I help couples slow down enough to notice what happens beneath the arguments, while building a toolkit of emotional awareness, communication skills, and repair work. Through emotionally focused and body-based work, we'll uncover what each partner’s nervous system is trying to protect. Mindfulness slows reactivity; curiosity invites repair. The goal isn’t perfect communication, but rather learning to cultivate an environment of emotional safety that can hold honest conflict.
