My approach to couples counseling is similar to my approach to individual counseling, just doing it with two people at once. In couples counseling, I am helping each person understand themselves more so that their partner can understand them as well. This means we will uncover and understand the deeper issues within the relationship (or within yourself), step out of blame and into your own responsibility, and feel the emotions while being witnessed by your partner. Together, we will explore the dynamics that have developed and break them down so that you can build new, healthy patterns. I work with dating and marriage couples, as well as any kind of romantic relationships (including LGBTQIA+ relationships and ENM).
Issues I work with:
communication
sex and intimacy
infidelity
trust
general relationship growth and skills
conflict
reconnecting
