In my work with couples, I strive to help each person understand the patterns and cycles of interaction that lead to misunderstandings and problems in communication between the two. Rather than viewing the problem as belonging to one or the other person, I see the problem more as a dance between two partners who are out of rhythm. I have been trained in one of the most effective couples therapy treatments to date, Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy. I use my knowledge of this theory to implement techniques in sessions which target the salient problems and provide couples with room and safety to explore and understand the relevant issues. As treatment progresses, I help couples recognize the adaptive, healthy behaviors they engage in which brings about increased security in the relationship. Couples therapy is a tremendous opportunity to increase intimacy between partners and help couples grow so that they can lead fulfilling lives together that include respect, happiness, love, and nurturance.
