My approach to couples work is deeply compassionate and comes from the belief that when given the right support, change is possible. I respect the courage it takes to enter couples therapy. It often occurs at a time when a couple feels stuck or when parts of the relationship feel painful. I offer a way of working with the psychological development of the couple that can support clearer communication with each other, and a greater ability to navigate conflict. I also work with the understanding that partners in a couple are influenced by their own attachment needs. I seek to bring awareness to these underlying dynamics, so that needs can be expressed to each other more effectively. Additionally, I am well versed in trauma informed modalities and I consider influences of past trauma and how it affects the ability to relate and feel safe in current relationships.
