Professional Couples Counseling

When our most intimate relationships begin to devolve into dysfunctional patterns, it can be challenging to right the course, given the lack of healthy conflict resolution modeling so many of us were exposed to throughout our lives and our own relational experiences influencing our responses. My approach integrates a somatic-infused and mindfulness-based framework with research-based methods to refine and develop relational skills, promoting improved dynamics. We will develop an individualized plan to enhance communication skills and learn how to repair and increase intimacy, respect, and compassion toward one another.

I have completed both Level 1 and Level 2 Gottman Method Couples Therapy Trainings through The Gottman Institute. Potential areas of treatment focus include shifting patterns of chronic conflict, coping with infidelity, improving communication, enhancing attunement and feelings of connection, and managing specific difficulties related to parenting, sex, finances, etc.

 

Please note that I am open to facilitating sessions to promote improved parent-adult-child relational dynamics, adult sibling dynamics, or any other dyad who are ready to shift their patterns of engagement.
