What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Over the years I have worked with many configurations of couples; same sex, open, non-binary. I tend to draw from an emotionally-focussed approach and find moments of tender vulnerability to be so profoundly healing. I also really enjoy creative "out of the box" outdoor experiential activities that I orchestrate based on the particular couple and their concerns. I find these activities can become playful and bonding for couples.

I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach when working with couples. One is Emotional Focused Therapy, Systems Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Collaboratively we work on new ways of living by making the necessary changes that are required for a healthy, happy relationship!

Working with couples is actually working with two individuals. Each person brings their own unique personality to the couple relationship. Where those personalities clash, and a clash is inevitable, there is an opportunity to learn something about the Self. Why is it that I react the way I do to this aspect of my partner? Do I like this about my Self? Would I like to be able to respond rather than react? Moving into this territory is moving into the land of personal growth which is possible through being in a relationship. It's moving to a place where you have the opportunity to become the best person you can be and to move beyond the personality you inherited through your history.

Recognizing that things haven't always been this way, you understand that seeking assistance is essential for any substantive shift.
