If you and your romantic partner are experiencing discord or disconnectedness in your relationship, I can help. 

Progress to deeper understanding

In couples therapy, we will work collaboratively to identify the issues that lead to a conflictive relationship, and I will provide you with practical tools to help you understand and change the patterns these issues create. Each couple is unique and calls for different ways of intervening. In therapy sessions, we will look at: 

• Establishing your expectations and desires, and understanding what is in the way of achieving those in the relationship. 
• Probing more deeply into the underlying emotional forces and their role in co- creating conflict. 
• Recognizing emotional triggers, and learning how to better manage reactions.
• Identifying patterns of interaction, and the ways in which they could be positively re-established. 

Collaborative and dynamic

At times, I may give homework assignments, be directive, give feedback and advice, and act as a coach and an advocate when needed.
