A Practical, Evidence-Informed Approach

My approach to couples therapy is collaborative, structured and tailored to the relationship. We look at both the immediate problems bringing you into therapy and the deeper patterns that may be maintaining them. Sessions may include identifying your conflict cycle, improving emotional communication, strengthening repair after conflict, addressing attachment patterns and developing concrete strategies to use outside of therapy.
