Couples

We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.

Freud

Couples often come to therapy in a crisis, when broken trust and hurt stand in the way of effective communication.  At times, other issues around sexuality, money, work, or infertility, to name a few, make it hard for couples to navigate their relationship.   

 I use a variety of models from Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Somatic Experiencing to help couples communicate their needs better and deepen their intimacy and sexual connection.

Even when the best option is not mending the relationship but ending the marriage, I work with the couple to help them and their children during what is often a difficult and painful transition.
