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.

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.

When working with couples, I use talk therapy, a family systems approach, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Working with couples is unique and can be complex. It is important to examine each person as an individual, help them become their best self and then work on ways to help them grow together as a unit. It is to be noted that it is difficult to achieve progress with couples therapy if both parties are not fully committed to the therapy process.
