Couples
Romantic relationships bring our deepest selves to the surface. They have the potential to bring about our deepest pain and deepest healing.
Couples Therapy : Communication, Connection
In my couples work, I focus on how communication and connection is maintained and how its been broken. We work to understand the strengths of the relationships alongside the dysfunctional patterns and doubt. We work to create new healthier patterns of communication and connection.
I work primarily with EFT and somatic models, looking beneath the surface to discover and work with whats happening for each individual and the couple.
Transitioning to Parenthood
Transitioning to parenthood is an incredibly intense time for most couples. Whether its going from 0-1 child or 1-2 children, it can be a time of painful communication and connection breakdowns.
I leverage specialized training from Postpartum Support International to help parents process the grief and loss that can sit alongside the joy. As well as how to communicate and connect when resources feel scarce (time, sleep, patience, intimacy).
Divorce, Coparenting, Conscious Decoupling
I work with couples who have decided they no longer want to be together, but want to be in a process around breaking up or divorce or have children they are still coparenting.
Romantic endings are intense. Emotions are often raw, unpleasant, and unfiltered. We work in the room to make space for them while keeping the goals in mind.
Having a couples therapist to hold this process and having a dedicated space to work out these difficult experiences and emotions helps to move the process along and get to the other side of the ending.
